NOTE ON USE
Use this special verdict if it is alleged that the defendant should be subject to enhanced sentencing because the controlled substance offense was committed in an area specified in RCW 69.50.435 and the statutory defense is at issue. If the statutory defense is not at issue, then use WPIC 50.61 (Enhanced Sentence—Controlled Substances Violation under RCW 69.50.435—No Statutory Defense—Special Verdict) instead of this instruction.
Use WPIC 50.60.01 (Enhanced Sentence—Controlled Substance Violations Under RCW 69.50.435—Statutory Defense—Concluding Instruction) with this instruction.
Three separate alternatives are provided for Question 1. Select from among these alternatives depending on whether the State has alleged manufacturing, delivering, or possessing with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance.
For cases in which the State has alleged more than one “protected zone” location from WPIC 69.50.435(4), the applicable version of question 1 should be repeated for each location that is alleged and supported by the evidence.
Use bracketed material as applicable. Use WPIC 50.62 (School—Definition), WPIC 50.63 (School Bus—Definition), WPIC 50.65 (Public Park—Definition), WPIC 50.66 (Public Transit Vehicle—Transit Authority—Stop Shelter—Definition), and WPIC 50.17 (Sell/Price/For Profit—Definition), as applicable, with this instruction.
