Sutherby, No. 80169-0 (Wash. April 9, 2009), the Washington Supreme Court—agreeing with a Court of Appeals decision—held that “the proper unit of prosecution” for the possession of child pornography is one. Sutherby was originally convicted in a jury trial on, among other things, 10 counts of the possession of child pornography. Investigators had found “several files containing pictures of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.”]]> http://www.communitydefense.org/wordpress/2009/04/09/wa-supreme-court-holds-that-one-count-per-possession-is-proper-unit-of-prosecution-in-child-porn-cases/feed/ 0
