Summary of Case:	"Ryan Wayne Allen was wrongly convicted on April 3, 2008 of bail jumping in Thurston County, Washington. Ryan Allen had been released on bail pending his trial for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. After his conviction following a jury trial, Allen was sentenced to 2-1/2 years in prison. Allen appealed. On August 11, 2009 the Washington Court of Appeals, Div. 2, reversed Allen's bail jumping conviction based on insufficient evidence at trial to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The Court's ruling stated: "Reviewing the relevant dates here, it becomes readily apparent that the State could not put a notice into the mail on Monday afternoon, February 11, and have Allen receive the required three days' notice of a 9:15 a.m. hearing on Thursday, February 14. At best, he would have had only two days' notice. The State simply did not give him the notice the trial court required, and he did not knowingly fail to appear. The State could not convict him for bail jumping under these circumstances. The conviction must be reversed and the matter remanded with instructions to dismiss. State v. Smith, 155 Wn.2d 496, 505, 120 P.3d 559 (2005) (remedy is reverse and dismiss without retrial where insufficient evidence support an element of the crime)." [State v. Allen, No. 37646-6-II (Wash. Court of Appeals, 2nd Div., 8-11-2009)]"
