Description
These consolidated cases present the question whether State v. Holsworth, 93 Wash. 2d 148, 607 P.2d 845 (1980), and State v. Swindell, 93 Wash. 2d 192, 607 P.2d 852 (1980), permit a challenge for the first time on appeal to the use of prior felony convictions based upon allegedly invalid guilty pleas in habitual criminal and felon in possession of a firearm trials. Appellants Williams and Morrison were found to be habitual criminals under RCW 9.92.090. Appellant Lowe was found to be a previously convicted felon in possession of a firearm in violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, RCW 9.41.040. All three appellants have filed personal restraint petitions in addition to their direct appeals. None of the appellants questioned the validity of the prior guilty pleas in the proceedings below.
