Description
The State petitioned for review of a Court of Appeals decision reversing the Defendant's assault conviction. State v. Tolias, 84 Wn. App. 696, 929 P.2d 1178 (1997). The Court of Appeals held the trial court should have disqualified the entire Yakima County Prosecutor's office from acting in this case because the elected prosecutor, Jeffrey Sullivan, pursued felony charges against the Defendant after unsuccessfully attempting to mediate the dispute that gave rise to the charges. The State argues disqualification is not warranted because the "mediation" was actually plea bargaining, and, in any event, it took place after charges had been filed. In the alternative, the State argues the record lacks necessary information regarding the alleged mediation. We agree with the latter argument and reverse the Court of Appeals.
