.
Defendant

     1. My true name is: _________________________________.

     2. My age is: ______________________________________.

     3. The last level of education I completed was _______.

     4. I Have Been Informed and Fully Understand That:

     (a) I have the right to representation by a lawyer and if I cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, one will be provided at no expense to me.

     (b) I am charged with: _____________________________.

     The elements are: __________________________________

     _____________________________________________________.

     5. I Understand I Have the Following Important Rights, and I Give Them Up by Pleading Guilty:

     (a) The right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury in the county where the crime was allegedly committed;

     (b) The right to remain silent before and during trial, and the right to refuse to testify against myself;

     (c) The right at trial to hear and question the witnesses who testify against me;

     (d) The right at trial to testify and to have witnesses testify for me. These witnesses can be made to appear at no expense to me;

     (e) The right to be presumed innocent unless the State proves the charge beyond a reasonable doubt or I enter a plea of guilty;

     (f) The right to appeal a finding of guilt after a trial.

     6. In Considering the Consequences of my Guilty Plea, I Understand That:

     (a) Each crime with which I am charged carries a maximum sentence, a fine, and a Standard Sentence Range as follows:


COUNT NO. OFFENDER SCORE STANDARD RANGE ACTUAL CONFINEMENT (not including enhancements) PLUS Enhancements* COMMUNITY CUSTODY MAXIMUM TERM AND FINE
1
2
3

*Each sentencing enhancement will run consecutively to all other parts of my entire sentence, including other enhancements and other counts. The enhancement codes are: (F) Firearm, (D) Other deadly weapon, (V) VUCSA in protected zone,

(VH) Veh. Hom, see RCW 46.61.520, (JP) Juvenile present, (CSG) Criminal street gang involving minor,

(AE) Endangerment while attempting to elude.


     (b) The standard sentence range is based on the crime charged and my criminal history. Criminal history includes prior convictions and juvenile adjudications or convictions, whether in this state, in federal court, or elsewhere.

     (c) The prosecuting attorney's statement of my criminal history is attached to this agreement. Unless I have attached a different statement, I agree that the prosecuting attorney's statement is correct and complete. If I have attached my own statement, I assert that it is correct and complete. If I am convicted of any additional crimes between now and the time I am sentenced, I am obligated to tell the sentencing judge about those convictions.

     (d) If I am convicted of any new crimes before sentencing, or if any additional criminal history is discovered, both the standard sentence range and the prosecuting attorney's recommendation may increase. Even so, my plea of guilty to this charge is binding on me. I cannot change my mind if additional criminal history is discovered even though the standard sentencing range and the prosecuting attorney's recommendation increase or a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is required by law.

     (e) In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge will order me to pay $500.00 as a victim's compensation fund assessment. If this crime resulted in injury to any person or damage to or loss of property, the judge will order me to make restitution, unless extraordinary circumstances exist which make restitution inappropriate. The amount of restitution may be up to double my gain or double the victim's loss. The judge may also order that I pay a fine, court costs, attorney fees and the costs of incarceration.

     (f) For crimes committed prior to July 1, 2000: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge may order me to serve up to one year of community custody if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months. If the total period of confinement is more than 12 months, and if this crime is a drug offense, assault in the second degree, assault of a child in the second degree, or any crime against a person in which a specific finding was made that I or an accomplice was armed with a deadly weapon, the judge will order me to serve at least one year of community custody. If this crime is a vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, or a serious violent offense, the judge will order me to serve at least two years of community custody. The actual period of community custody may be longer than my earned early release period. During the period of community custody, I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me.

     [ ] For offenses committed after July 1, 2000 but prior to July 26, 2009, the court may impose a community custody range as follows: for serious violent offenses, 24 to 36 months; for crimes against persons, 9 to 12 months; for offenses under 69.50 and 69.52, 9 to 12 months.

     For crimes committed on or after July 1, 2000: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, under certain circumstances the judge may order me to serve up to one year of community custody if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months, but only if the crime I have been convicted of falls into one of the offense types listed in the following chart. For the offense of failure to register as a sex offender, regardless of the length of confinement, the judge will sentence me to 36 months of community custody. If the total period of confinement ordered is more than 12 months, and if the crime I have been convicted of falls into one of the offense types listed in the following chart, the court will sentence me to community custody for the term established for that offense type unless the judge finds substantial and compelling reasons not to do so. If the period of earned release awarded per RCW 9.94A.728 is longer, that will be the term of my community custody. If the crime I have been convicted of falls into more than one category of offense types listed in the following chart, then the community custody term will be based on the offense type that dictates the longest term of community custody.


OFFENSE TYPE COMMUNITY CUSTODY TERM
Serious Violent Offenses 36 months
Violent Offenses 18 months
Crimes Against Persons as defined by RCW 9.94A.411(2) 12 months
Offenses under Chapter 69.50 or 69.52 RCW (not sentenced under RCW 9.94A.660) 12 months
Offenses involving the unlawful possession of a firearm where the offender is a criminal street gang member or associate 12 months

     Certain sentencing alternatives may also include community custody.

     During the period of community custody I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me, including additional conditions of community custody that may be imposed by the Department of Corrections. My failure to comply with these conditions will render me ineligible for general assistance, RCW 74.04.005 (6)(h), and may result in the Department of Corrections transferring me to a more restrictive confinement status or other sanctions.

     If I violate the conditions of my community custody, the Department of Corrections may sanction me up to 60 days confinement per violation and/or revoke my earned early release, or the Department of Corrections may impose additional conditions or other stipulated penalties. The court also has the authority to impose sanctions for any violation.

     (g) The prosecuting attorney will make the following recommendation to the judge: .

     [ ] The prosecutor will recommend as stated in the plea agreement, which is incorporated by reference.

     (h) The judge does not have to follow anyone's recommendation as to sentence. The judge must impose a sentence within the standard range unless it finds substantial and compelling reasons not to do so. I understand the following regarding exceptional sentences:

     (i) The judge may impose an exceptional sentence below the standard range if the judge finds mitigating circumstances supporting an exceptional sentence.

     (ii) The judge may impose an exceptional sentence above the standard range if I am being sentenced for more than one crime and I have an offender score of more than nine.

     (iii) The judge may also impose an exceptional sentence above the standard range if the State and I stipulate that justice is best served by imposition of an exceptional sentence and the judge agrees that an exceptional sentence is consistent with and in furtherance of the interests of justice and the purposes of the Sentencing Reform Act.

     (iv) The judge may also impose an exceptional sentence above the standard range if the State has given notice that it will seek an exceptional sentence, the notice states aggravating circumstances upon which the requested sentence will be based, and facts supporting an exceptional sentence are proven beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury, to a judge if I waive a jury, or by stipulated facts.

     If the court imposes a standard range sentence, then no one may appeal the sentence. If the court imposes an exceptional sentence after a hearing, either the State or I can appeal the sentence.

     (i) If I am not a citizen of the United States, a plea of guilty to an offense punishable as a crime under state law is grounds for deportation, exclusion from admission to the United States, or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the United States.

     (j) I may not possess, own, or have under my control any firearm unless my right to do so is restored by a superior court in Washington State, and by a federal court if required. I must immediately surrender any concealed pistol license. RCW 9.41.040.

     (k) I will be ineligible to vote until that right is restored in a manner provided by law. If I am registered to vote, my voter registration will be cancelled. Wash. Const. art. VI, § 3, RCW 29A.04.079, 29A.08.520.

     (l) Government assistance may be suspended during any period of confinement.

     (m) I will be required to have a biological sample collected for purposes of DNA identification analysis. I will be required to pay a $100.00 DNA collection fee.

     Notification Relating to Specific Crimes. If any of the following paragraphs DO NOT APPLY, counsel and the defendant shall strike them out. The defendant and the judge shall initial all paragraphs that DO APPLY.

____ (n) This offense is a most serious offense or "strike" as defined by RCW 9.94A.030, and if I have at least two prior convictions for most serious offenses, whether in this state, in federal court, or elsewhere, the crime for which I am charged carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

____ (o) The judge may sentence me as a first-time offender instead of giving a sentence within the standard range if I qualify under RCW 9.94A.030. This sentence could include as much as 90 days' confinement and up to two years community custody plus all of the conditions described in paragraph (e). Additionally, the judge could require me to undergo treatment, to devote time to a specific occupation, and to pursue a prescribed course of study or occupational training.

____ (p) If this crime involves kidnapping involving a minor, including unlawful imprisonment involving a minor who is not my child, I will be required to register where I reside, study or work. The specific registration requirements are set forth in the "Offender Registration" Attachment.

____ (q) If this is a crime of domestic violence, I may be ordered to pay a domestic violence assessment of up to $100.00. If I, or the victim of the offense, have a minor child, the court may order me to participate in a domestic violence perpetrator program approved under RCW 26.50.150.

____ (r) If this crime involves prostitution, or a drug offense associated with hypodermic needles, I will be required to undergo testing for the human immunodeficiency (HIV/AIDS) virus.

____ (s) The judge may sentence me under the drug offender sentencing alternative (DOSA) if I qualify under RCW 9.94A.660. If I qualify and the judge is considering a residential chemical dependency treatment-based alternative, the judge may order that I be examined by DOC before deciding to impose a DOSA sentence. If the judge decides to impose a DOSA sentence, it could be either a prison-based alternative or a residential chemical dependency treatment-based alternative.

     If the judge imposes the prison-based alternative, the sentence will consist of a period of total confinement in a state facility for one-half of the midpoint of the standard range, or 12 months, whichever is greater. During confinement, I will be required to undergo a comprehensive substance abuse assessment and to participate in treatment. The judge will also impose a term of community custody of one-half of the midpoint of the standard range.

     If the judge imposes the residential chemical dependency treatment-based alternative, the sentence will consist of a term of community custody equal to one-half of the midpoint of the standard sentence range or two years, whichever is greater, and I will have to enter and remain in a certified residential chemical dependency treatment program for a period of three to six months, as set by the court.

     As part of this sentencing alternative, the court is required to schedule a progress hearing during the period of residential chemical dependency treatment and a treatment termination hearing scheduled three months before the expiration of the term of community custody. At either hearing, based upon reports by my treatment provider and the department of corrections on my compliance with treatment and monitoring requirements and recommendations regarding termination from treatment, the judge may modify the conditions of my community custody or order me to serve a term of total confinement equal to one-half of the midpoint of the standard sentence range, followed by a term of community custody under RCW 9.94A.701.

     During the term of community custody for either sentencing alternative, the judge could prohibit me from using alcohol or controlled substances, require me to submit to urinalysis or other testing to monitor that status, require me to devote time to a specific employment or training, stay out of certain areas, pay $30.00 per month to offset the cost of monitoring and require other conditions, such as affirmative conditions, and the conditions described in paragraph 6(e). The judge, on his or her own initiative, may order me to appear in court at any time during the period of community custody to evaluate my progress in treatment or to determine if I have violated the conditions of the sentence. If the court finds that I have violated the conditions of the sentence or that I have failed to make satisfactory progress in treatment, the court may modify the terms of my community custody or order me to serve a term of total confinement within the standard range.

_____(t) If I am subject to community custody and the judge finds that I have a chemical dependency that has contributed to the offense, the judge may order me to participate in rehabilitative programs or otherwise to perform affirmative conduct reasonably related to the circumstances of the crime for which I am pleading guilty.

____ (u) If this crime involves the manufacture, delivery, or possession with the intent to deliver methamphetamine, including its salts, isomers, and salts of isomers, or amphetamine, including its salts, isomers, and salts of isomers, a mandatory methamphetamine clean-up fine of $3,000 will be assessed. RCW 69.50.401 (2)(b).

____ (v) If this crime involves a violation of the state drug laws, my eligibility for state and federal food stamps, welfare, and education benefits may be affected. 20 U.S.C. § 1091(r) and 21 U.S.C. § 862a.

____ (w) I understand that RCW 46.20.285(4) requires that my driver's license be revoked if the judge finds I used a motor vehicle in the commission of this felony.

____ (x) If this crime involves the offense of vehicular homicide while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, as defined by RCW 46.61.502, committed on or after January 1, 1999, an additional two years shall be added to the presumptive sentence for vehicular homicide for each prior offense as defined in RCW 46.61.5055(14).

____ (y) If I am pleading guilty to felony driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drugs, or felony actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, in addition to the provisions of chapter 9.94A RCW, I will be required to undergo alcohol or chemical dependency treatment services during incarceration. I will be required to pay the costs of treatment unless the court finds that I am indigent. My driving privileges will be suspended, revoked or denied. Following the period of suspension, revocation or denial, I must comply with ignition interlock device requirements.

____ (z) The crime of _________________ has a mandatory minimum sentence of at least ____ years of total confinement. This law does not apply to crimes committed on or after July 24, 2005, by a juvenile who was tried as an adult after decline of juvenile court jurisdiction. The law does not allow any reduction of this sentence. This mandatory minimum sentence is not the same as the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole described in paragraph 6[n].

____ (aa) I am being sentenced for two or more serious violent offenses arising from separate and distinct criminal conduct and the sentences imposed on counts _____ and _____ will run consecutively unless the judge finds substantial and compelling reasons to do otherwise.

____ (bb) The offense(s) I am pleading guilty to include(s) a Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act in a protected zone enhancement or manufacture of methamphetamine when a juvenile was present in or upon the premises of manufacture enhancement. I understand these enhancements are mandatory and that they must run consecutively to all other sentencing provisions.

____ (cc) The offense(s) I am pleading guilty to include(s) a deadly weapon, firearm, or sexual motivation enhancement. Deadly weapon, firearm, or sexual motivation enhancements are mandatory, they must be served in total confinement, and they must run consecutively to any other sentence and to any other deadly weapon, firearm, or sexual motivation enhancements.

____ (dd) If I am pleading guilty to (1) unlawful possession of a firearm(s) in the first or second degree and (2) felony theft of a firearm or possession of a stolen firearm, I am required to serve the sentences for these crimes consecutively to one another. If I am pleading guilty to unlawful possession of more than one firearm, I must serve each of the sentences for unlawful possession consecutively to each other.

____ (ee) If I am pleading guilty to the crime of unlawful practices in obtaining assistance as defined in RCW 74.08.331, no assistance payment shall be made for at least six months if this is my first conviction and for at least 12 months if this is my second or subsequent conviction. This suspension of benefits will apply even if I am not incarcerated. RCW 74.08.290.

____ (ff) The judge may authorize work ethic camp. To qualify for work ethic authorization my term of total confinement must be more than twelve months and less than thirty-six months, I cannot currently be either pending prosecution or serving a sentence for violation of the uniform controlled substance act and I cannot have a current or prior conviction for a sex or violent offense.

The amount of restitution may be up to double my gain or double the victim's loss. The judge may also order that I pay a fine, court costs, attorney fees and the costs of incarceration.

     (f) For sex offenses committed prior to July 1, 2000: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge may order me to serve up to one year of community custody if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months. If the period of confinement is more than one year, the judge will order me to serve three years of community custody or up to the period of earned early release, whichever is longer. During the period of community custody, I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me.

     For sex offenses committed on or after July 1, 2000 but prior to September 1, 2001: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge may order me to serve up to one year of community custody if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months. If the period of confinement is over one year, the judge will sentence me to community custody for 36 months or up to the period of earned release, whichever is longer.

     For sex offenses committed on or after September 1, 2001: (i) Sentencing under RCW 9.94A.507: If this offense is any of the offenses listed in subsections (aa) or (bb), below, the judge will impose a maximum term of confinement consisting of the statutory maximum sentence of the offense and a minimum term of confinement either within the standard range for the offense or outside the standard range if an exceptional sentence is appropriate. The minimum term of confinement that is imposed may be increased by the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board if the Board determines by a preponderance of the evidence that it is more likely than not that I will commit sex offenses if released from custody. In addition to the period of confinement, I will be sentenced to community custody for any period of time I am released from total confinement before the expiration of the maximum sentence. During the period of community custody I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me, which may include electronic monitoring, and I may be required to participate in rehabilitative programs.

If the period of confinement is over one year, or if my crime is failure to register as a sex offender, the judge will sentence me to community custody for 36 months or up to the period of earned release, whichever is longer. During the period of community custody to which I am sentenced, I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me, which may include electronic monitoring.

     For sex offenses committed on or after March 20, 2006: For the following offenses and special allegations, the minimum term shall be either the maximum of the standard sentence range for the offense or 25 years, whichever is greater:

     Community Custody Violation: If I violate the conditions of my community custody, the Department of Corrections may sanction me up to 60 days confinement per violation and/or revoke my earned early release, or the Department of Corrections may impose additional conditions or other stipulated penalties. The court also has the authority to impose sanctions for any violation.

     (g) The prosecuting attorney will make the following recommendation to the judge: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.


     [ ] The prosecutor will recommend as stated in the plea agreement, which is incorporated by reference.

     (h) The judge does not have to follow anyone's recommendation as to sentence. The judge must impose a sentence within the standard range unless it finds substantial and compelling reasons not to do so. I understand the following regarding exceptional sentences:

     (i) The judge may impose an exceptional sentence below the standard range if the judge finds mitigating circumstances supporting an exceptional sentence.

     (ii) The judge may impose an exceptional sentence above the standard range if I am being sentenced for more than one crime and I have an offender score of more than nine.

____ (x) For crimes committed on or after July 22, 2007: If I am pleading guilty to rape of a child in the first, second, or third degree or child molestation in the first, second or third degree, and I engaged, agreed or offered to engage the victim in sexual intercourse or sexual contact for a fee, or if I attempted, solicited another, or conspired to engage, agree or offer to engage the victim in sexual intercourse or sexual contact for a fee, then a one-year enhancement shall be added to the standard sentence range.

If the court grants this petition, during the period of deferred prosecution I will be required to contact my probation officer, the probation director or designee, or the court if there is no probation department, to request permission to travel or transfer to another state if my wrongful conduct involves: (i) an offense in which a person has incurred direct or threatened physical or psychological harm; (ii) an offense that involves the use or possession of a firearm; (iii) a second or subsequent misdemeanor offense of driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol; (iv) a sexual offense that requires me to register as a sex offender in Washington state. I understand that I will be required to pay an application fee with my travel or transfer request.

     16. If I fail or neglect to comply with any part of my service plan, or with any ignition interlock driver's license or ignition interlock device requirements, the court shall either order me to comply with the term or condition or be removed from deferred prosecution (RCW 10.05.090). The termination of my parental rights with regard to the alleged victim due to abuse or neglect that occurred during the pendency of the deferred prosecution shall be per se evidence that I did not successfully complete the service plan. After the hearing, the court will either order that I continue with treatment or be removed from deferred prosecution and enter judgment. If I am convicted of a similar offense during the deferred prosecution, the court will revoke the deferred prosecution and enter judgment.

     17. If the court grants my petition, the court will dismiss the charge(s) against me in this case when the court receives proof that I have successfully completed the child welfare service plan, or the service plan has been terminated because the alleged victim has reached his or her majority and there are no other minor children in the home.

     I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the state of Washington that I have read the foregoing and agree with all of its provisions and that all statements made are true and correct.
