Summary of Case: |
"Timothy D. Bailey was wrongly convicted of forgery and second-degree theft in Washington. The charges arose from checks cashed at the Little Creek Casino near Shelton, Washington. Timothy Bailey's conviction was reversed by the Washington State Court of Appeals on January 21, 2004 based on the charging instruments failure to state all essential elements of Bailey's forgery charge, and his theft conviction arose from the forgery charge, so both convictions had to be reversed. The State conceded the charging instrument was defective." |
