                              PURPOSE

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  The purpose of this act is to make certain technical corrections and correct oversights discovered only after unanticipated circumstances have arisen.  These changes are necessary to give full expression to the original intent of the legislature.

 

             PART I - SENTENCING FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER

 

    Sec. 101.  RCW 9A.28.020 and 1981 c 203 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) A person is guilty of an attempt to commit crime if, with intent to commit a specific crime, he does any act which is a substantial step toward the commission of that crime.

    (2) If the conduct in which a person engages otherwise constitutes an attempt to commit a crime, it is no defense to a prosecution of such attempt that the crime charged to have been attempted was, under the attendant circumstances, factually or legally impossible of commission.

    (3) An attempt to commit a crime is a:

    (a) Class A felony when the crime attempted is murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, or arson in the first degree;

    (b) Class B felony when the crime attempted is a class A felony other than murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, or arson in the first degree;

    (c) Class C felony when the crime attempted is a class B felony;

    (d) Gross misdemeanor when the crime attempted is a class C felony;

    (e) Misdemeanor when the crime attempted is a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor.

 

             PART II - WITNESS INTIMIDATION/TAMPERING

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 201.  The legislature finds that witness intimidation and witness tampering serve to thwart both the effective prosecution of criminal conduct in the state of Washington and resolution of child dependencies.

    Further, the legislature finds that intimidating persons who have information pertaining to a future proceeding serves to prevent both the bringing of a charge and prosecution of such future proceeding.  The legislature finds that the period before a crime or child abuse or neglect is reported is when a victim is most vulnerable to influence, both from the defendant or from people acting on behalf of the defendant and a time when the defendant is most able to threaten, bribe, and/or persuade potential witnesses to leave the jurisdiction or withhold information from law enforcement agencies.

    The legislature moreover finds that a criminal defendant's admonishment or demand to a witness to "drop the charges" is intimidating to witnesses or other persons with information relevant to a criminal proceeding.

    The legislature finds, therefore, that tampering with and/or intimidating witnesses or other persons with information relevant to a present or future criminal or child dependency proceeding are grave offenses which adversely impact the state's ability to promote public safety and prosecute criminal behavior.

 

    Sec. 202.  RCW 9A.72.090 and 1982 1st ex.s. c 47 s 16 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) A person is guilty of bribing a witness if he or she offers, confers, or agrees to confer any benefit upon a witness or a person he or she has reason to believe is about to be called as a witness in any official proceeding or upon a person whom he or she has reason to believe may have information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child, with intent to:

    (a) Influence the testimony of that person; or

    (b) Induce that person to avoid legal process summoning him or her to testify; or

    (c) Induce that person to absent himself or herself from an official proceeding to which he or she has been legally summoned; or

    (d) Induce that person to refrain from reporting information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child.

    (2) Bribing a witness is a class B felony.

 

    Sec. 203.  RCW 9A.72.100 and 1982 1st ex.s. c 47 s 17 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) A witness or a person who has reason to believe he or she is about to be called as a witness in any official proceeding or that he or she may have information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child is guilty of bribe receiving by a witness if he or she requests, accepts, or agrees to accept any benefit pursuant to an agreement or understanding that:

    (a) ((His)) The person's testimony will thereby be influenced; or

    (b) ((He)) The person will attempt to avoid legal process summoning him or her to testify; or

    (c) ((He)) The person will attempt to absent himself or herself from an official proceeding to which he or she has been legally summoned; or

    (d) The person will not report information he or she has relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child.

    (2) Bribe receiving by a witness is a class B felony.

 

    Sec. 204.  RCW 9A.72.110 and 1985 c 327 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) A person is guilty of intimidating a witness if a person directs a threat to a former witness because of the witness' testimony in any official proceeding, or if, by use of a threat directed to a current witness or a person he or she has reason to believe is about to be called as a witness in any official proceeding or to a person whom he or she has reason to believe may have information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child, he or she attempts to:

    (a) Influence the testimony of that person; or

    (b) Induce that person to elude legal process summoning him or her to testify; or

    (c) Induce that person to absent himself or herself from such proceedings; or

    (d) Induce that person not to report the information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child, not to prosecute the crime or the abuse or neglect of a minor child, not to have the crime or the abuse or neglect of a minor child prosecuted, or not to give truthful or complete information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child.

    (2) "Threat" as used in this section means:

    (a) To communicate, directly or indirectly, the intent immediately to use force against any person who is present at the time; or

    (b) Threats as defined in RCW 9A.04.110(25).

    (3) Intimidating a witness is a class B felony.

 

    Sec. 205.  RCW 9A.72.120 and 1982 1st ex.s. c 47 s 19 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) A person is guilty of tampering with a witness if he or she attempts to induce a witness or person he or she has reason to believe is about to be called as a witness in any official proceeding or a person whom he or she has reason to believe may have information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child to:

    (a) Testify falsely or, without right or privilege to do so, to withhold any testimony; or

    (b) Absent himself or herself from such proceedings; or

    (c) Withhold from a law enforcement agency information which he or she has relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child to the agency.

    (2) Restitution may be ordered whenever the offender is convicted of an offense which results in injury to any person or damage to or loss of property.  In addition, restitution may be ordered to pay for an injury, loss, or damage if the offender pleads guilty to a lesser offense or fewer offenses and agrees with the prosecutor's recommendation that the offender be required to pay restitution to a victim of an offense or offenses which are not prosecuted pursuant to a plea agreement.

    (3) In addition to any sentence that may be imposed, a defendant who has been found guilty of an offense involving fraud or other deceptive practice or an organization which has been found guilty of any such offense may be ordered by the sentencing court to give notice of the conviction to the class of persons or to the sector of the public affected by the conviction or financially interested in the subject matter of the offense by mail, by advertising in designated areas or through designated media, or by other appropriate means.

    (4) This section does not limit civil remedies or defenses available to the victim or defendant.

 

    Sec. 602.  RCW 9.94A.142 and 1989 c 252 s 6 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) When restitution is ordered, the court shall determine the amount of restitution due at the sentencing hearing or within sixty days.  The court shall then set a minimum monthly payment that the offender is required to make towards the restitution that is ordered.  The court should take into consideration the total amount of the restitution owed, the offender's present, past, and future ability to pay, as well as any assets that the offender may have.  During the period of supervision, the community corrections officer may examine the offender to determine if there has been a change in circumstances that warrants an amendment of the monthly payment schedule.  The community corrections officer may recommend a change to the schedule of payment and shall inform the court of the recommended change and the reasons for the change.  The sentencing court may then reset the monthly minimum payments based on the report from the community corrections officer of the change in circumstances.  Restitution ordered by a court pursuant to a criminal conviction shall be based on easily ascertainable damages for injury to or loss of property, actual expenses incurred for treatment for injury to persons, and lost wages resulting from injury.  Restitution shall not include reimbursement for damages for mental anguish, pain and suffering, or other intangible losses, but may include the costs of counseling reasonably related to the offense.  The amount of restitution shall not exceed double the amount of the offender's gain or the victim's loss from the commission of the crime.  For the purposes of this section, the offender shall remain under the court's jurisdiction for a maximum term of ten years ((subsequent to the imposition of sentence)) following the offender's release from total confinement or ten years subsequent to the entry of the judgment and sentence, whichever period is longer.  The portion of the sentence concerning restitution may be modified as to amount, terms and conditions during the ten-year period, regardless of the expiration of the offender's term of community supervision and regardless of the statutory maximum for the crime.  The offender's compliance with the restitution shall be supervised by the department.

    (2) Restitution shall be ordered whenever the offender is convicted of an offense which results in injury to any person or damage to or loss of property unless extraordinary circumstances exist which make restitution inappropriate in the court's judgment and the court sets forth such circumstances in the record.  In addition, restitution shall be ordered to pay for an injury, loss, or damage if the offender pleads guilty to a lesser offense or fewer offenses and agrees with the prosecutor's recommendation that the offender be required to pay restitution to a victim of an offense or offenses which are not prosecuted pursuant to a plea agreement.

    (3) In addition to any sentence that may be imposed, a defendant who has been found guilty of an offense involving fraud or other deceptive practice or an organization which has been found guilty of any such offense may be ordered by the sentencing court to give notice of the conviction to the class of persons or to the sector of the public affected by the conviction or financially interested in the subject matter of the offense by mail, by advertising in designated areas or through designated media, or by other appropriate means.

    (4) This section does not limit civil remedies or defenses available to the victim, survivors of the victim, or defendant.

    (5) This section shall apply to offenses committed after July 1, 1985.

    (a) He or she intentionally and repeatedly harasses or repeatedly follows another person ((to that person's home, school, place of employment, business, or any other location, or follows the person while the person is in transit between locations)); and

    (b) The person being harassed or followed is ((intimidated, harassed, or)) placed in fear that the stalker intends to injure the person, another person, or property of the person ((being followed)) or of another person.  The feeling of fear((, intimidation, or harassment)) must be one that a reasonable person in the same situation would experience under all the circumstances; and

    (i) Intends to frighten, intimidate, or harass the person ((being followed)); or

    (ii) Knows or reasonably should know that the person ((being followed)) is afraid, intimidated, or harassed even if the stalker did not intend to place the person in fear or intimidate or harass the person.

    (2)(a) It is not a defense to the crime of stalking under subsection (1)(c)(i) of this section that the stalker was not given actual notice that the person ((being followed)) did not want the stalker to contact or follow the person; and

    (b) It is not a defense to the crime of stalking under subsection (1)(c)(ii) of this section that the stalker did not intend to frighten, intimidate, or harass the person ((being followed)).

    (3) It shall be a defense to the crime of stalking that the defendant is a licensed private detective acting within the capacity of his or her license as provided by chapter 18.165 RCW.

    (4) Attempts to contact or follow the person after being given actual notice that the person does not want to be contacted or followed constitutes prima facie evidence that the stalker intends to intimidate or harass the person.

    (5) A person who stalks another person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor except that the person is guilty of a class C felony if any of the following applies:  (a) The stalker has previously been convicted in this state or any other state of any crime of harassment, as defined in RCW 9A.46.060, of the same victim or members of the victim's family or household or any person specifically named in a ((no-contact order or no-harassment)) protective order; (b) the ((person)) stalking violates ((a court)) any protective order ((issued pursuant to RCW 9A.46.040)) protecting the person being stalked; ((or)) (c) the stalker has previously been convicted of a gross misdemeanor or felony stalking offense under this section for stalking another person; (d) the stalker was armed with a deadly weapon, as defined in RCW 9.94A.125, while stalking the person; (e) the stalker's victim is or was a law enforcement officer, judge, juror, attorney, victim advocate, legislator, or community correction's officer, and the stalker stalked the victim to retaliate against the victim for an act the victim performed during the course of official duties or to influence the victim's performance of official duties; or (f) the stalker's victim is a current, former, or prospective witness in an adjudicative proceeding, and the stalker stalked the victim to retaliate against the victim as a result of the victim's testimony or potential testimony.

    (6) As used in this section:

    (b) "Harasses" means unlawful harassment as defined in RCW 10.14.020.

    (c) "Protective order" means any temporary or permanent court order prohibiting or limiting violence against, harassment of, contact or communication with, or physical proximity to another person.
