Washington Supreme Court conveys approval to resentence three-strikes prisoner, but declines wider review By Nina Shapiro, The Seattle Times Published: February 8, 2021, 7:54am Share: Washington’s Supreme Court has signaled approval of resentencing a three-strikes prisoner serving a life sentence after robbing a Snohomish County 7-Eleven store, even though the court declined a broader constitutional review that could have freed dozens of people sentenced under the state’s three-strikes law. “I absolutely am so excited I can barely contain myself,” wrote Lawrence Fillion, the prisoner who petitioned the court, in an email.

Satterberg said that the officers, who are white, reasonably believed their lives were in danger when they shot Che Taylor in February 2016.
