RULE CrRLJ 7.2
SENTENCING
(a) Generally. The court shall state the precise terms of the
sentence, which shall include credit for all time spent in custody
in connection with the offense.
(b) Procedure at Time of Sentencing. The court shall,
immediately after sentencing, unless the judgment and sentence are
based on a plea of guilty, advise the defendant: (1) of the right to
appeal the conviction pursuant to the RALJ or CrRLJ 9.1; (2) that
unless a notice of appeal is filed in the court of limited
jurisdiction within 30 days after the entry of the judgment and
sentence or order appealed from, the right to appeal is waived; (3)
that the notice of appeal must be served on all other parties; (4)
that the court clerk will, if requested by the defendant appearing
without a lawyer, supply a notice of appeal form; (5) of the
defendant's right to a lawyer on appeal, and, if unable to pay the
costs thereof, to have a lawyer appointed and portions of the trial
record necessary for review prepared at public expense for an
appeal; and (6) of the time limits on the right to collateral attack
imposed by RCW 10.73.090 and .100. These proceedings shall be made a
part of the record.
(c) Sentence. Before imposing sentence, the court shall afford
the defendant, and the prosecuting authority, an opportunity to make
a statement and to present information in extenuation, mitigation,
or aggravation of punishment.
(d) Record. A record of the sentencing proceedings shall be
made. The sentencing and judgment records of the courts of limited
jurisdiction shall be preserved in perpetuity, either in an
electronic or hard copy format. "Hard copy format" may include
microfilm, microfiche, or a paper copy. The record of the sentencing
proceedings shall be prima facie evidence of a valid conviction in
subsequent proceedings in courts of limited jurisdiction and in
superior court.
(e) Judgment and Sentence.
(1) An electronic judgment and sentence shall be prescribed by
the Administrator for the Courts in conjunction with the Judicial
Information System Committee (JISC).
(2) A non-electronic judgment and sentence form shall be
prescribed by the Administrator for the Courts in conjunction with
the Supreme Court Pattern Forms Committee.
(3) Notwithstanding any other statute or rule to the contrary,
each judgment and sentence form, either electronic or hard copy,
shall be preserved by the court in perpetuity.
