Description
[118 Wash2d Page 879] In State v. Rice, 110 Wash. 2d 577, 757 P.2d 889 (1988), cert. denied, 491 U.S. 910 (1989), this court affirmed David Rice's
convictions and death sentence on four counts of aggravated first degree murder. We later dismissed Rice's first personal
restraint petition by an unpublished order. In re Rice, cause 54575-8 (Aug. 3, 1989). Rice has filed this second personal
restraint petition, principally arguing that the prosecution withheld -- and his attorneys otherwise failed to discover --
evidence of his mental condition which would have been favorable to him in the penalty phase of his trial. He seeks either
a reversal of the sentence and retrial of the penalty phase or an order transferring the petition to the superior court for
a reference hearing pursuant to RAP 16.11(b) and 16.12. In the alternative, Rice presents several additional grounds for relief,
which he claims entitle him to vacation of the conviction and sentence, and a new trial. For reasons discussed below, we
deny the request for a reference hearing and dismiss the petition.
