It held that the statutory provisions controlled and enabled a sentencing court in the event of a resentencing not only to consider post-sentence rehabilitation, but, in an appropriate case, to rely on it as the basis for a downward departure from the advisory Federal Sentencing Guidelines range. Mr. Ramos appeals.
It provides in part as follows: Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, any person convicted of one or more crimes committed prior to the person's eighteenth birthday may petition the indeterminate sentence review board [ISRB] for early release after serving no less than twenty years of total confinement, provided the person has not been convicted for any crime committed subsequent to the person's eighteenth birthday, the person has not committed a major violation in the twelve months prior to filing the petition for early release, and the current sentence was not imposed under RCW 10.95.030 or 9.94A.507. But then I ran back in. He should have the opportunity to have his request considered with the correct law in mind. I have attempted to restrict my considerations to those authorized by the en banc holding of the Washington State Supreme Court in [State v. Law ] and in compliance with RCW 9.94A.340 to the extent they do not restrict my consideration of factors under RCW 9.94A.010 [1981] on the question of concurrent versus consecutive sentences under RCW 9.94A.535(1)[g].9. Mr. Ramos sought an exceptional downward sentence based on his youth at the time of the crimes, evidence that Mr. Gaitan committed most of the violence, and Mr. Ramos's demonstrated rehabilitation, which he argued supported his reduced culpability for the crimes.2. While Mr. Ramos cannot claim the benefit of the prospective change to RCW 9.94A.540, he can at least ask that the court consider his request for an exceptional sentence based on the underlying science that developed pending finality of his sentence—something anticipated in [State v.] Ha'mim. ¶ 18 According to Mr. Alvarado, Mr. Gaitan said that Mr. Skelton came at him yelling when they entered the home. One of the questions posed by the sentencing court at the conclusion of the first day of the sentencing hearing was how the discretion of a Washington court, as limited by Law, compared to the discretion enjoyed by federal courts under the federal SRA as described in Pepper. Brusic didn’t return phone calls or respond to an email seeking comment Friday. The punishment is just. The review board cited his good behavior in prison and accomplishments as reasons for approving his early release. ¶ 28 The court imposed a standard range sentence of 85 years based on three consecutive sentences of 20 years for the three counts of first degree felony murder (the murders of Mike, Lynn and Jason Skelton) and one term of 25 years for one count of premeditated intentional murder (the murder of Bryan Skelton). ¶ 65 The United States Supreme Court's decision in Pepper was not based on constitutional principles. 2641, 171 L.Ed.2d 525 (2008). In a 1979 article discussing the 1977 overhaul of Washington's juvenile justice system, a former chief criminal deputy for the King County prosecutor observed that while adults commit many kinds of crimes for many reasons. 1183, 161 L.Ed.2d 1 (2005); to prohibit a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for a child who commits a nonhomicide offense, Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48, 88, 130 S.Ct. 1042, 2013 WL 1628255 at *13. ¶ 5 The facts of the crimes were recounted in the decision on appeal from the trial of Mr. Gaitan. He argues that under Miller, the court could impose a total period of incarceration of 85 years only by finding “irreparable corruption,” which was not shown in his case; that former RCW 9.94A.370 (1989)1 cannot be applied and the Washington Supreme Court's decisions in State v. Law, 154 Wash.2d 85, 110 P.3d 717 (2005) and State v. Ha'mim, 132 Wash.2d 834, 940 P.2d 633 (1997) cannot be followed in the case of a juvenile offender without violating a mandate of Miller and the Eighth Amendment; that a sentencing court cannot apply standard sentencing ranges and consecutive sentencing presumptions to a juvenile without violating the Eighth Amendment; and that under Miller, a sentencing court cannot limit its consideration of the attributes of youth to assessing culpability for the crime.
