Description
Petitioner Arthur Hinton Summers seeks review of a decision of the Court of Appeals, Division One, which affirmed his 1989 conviction for violation of RCW 9.41.040, the Uniform Firearms Act, based on a 1976 predicate conviction of manslaughter in the first degree. He claims that the 1976 conviction was constitutionally invalid because the trial court failed to instruct the jury that the State bears the burden of proof upon a claim of self-defense; and that as a consequence of this failure, one element of RCW 9.41.040 is constitutionally invalid under 1977*fn1 and 1983*fn2 decisions of this court. We granted review and now reverse the Court of Appeals.
