JOSEPH CORTEZ JONES, UNPUBLISHED OPINION
JOHANSON A. .
J.
C Joseph Cortez Jones appeals his jury trial convictions and sentences
—
for first degree burglary and second degree assault. Jones argues (1)that the State committed
prosecutorial misconduct, 2) he received ineffective assistance of counsel, 3) the trial
( that ( that
court violated his right to confront witnesses, 4) insufficient evidence supports his burglary
( that
conviction, and (5)improper sentencing. Jones raises additional arguments in his Statement of
Additional Grounds. Finding no trial error, we affirm the convictions. But we remand to the
trial court to issue a corrected judgment and sentence consistent with this opinion because we
hold that the trial court erred by imposing a variable period of community custody.
FACTS
In 2010, Donald Barrows, a disabled veteran, and Monique Young were friends. On
April 1,Barrows and Young were getting ready to leave Young's apartment when Jones arrived

No. 42345 6 II
- -
outside the door. At the time, Young and Jones had been in a two and- half year committed
- one -
relationship. Jones knocked, tried to open the door, banged on it,and then kicked it in. Young
was scared and ran into the bathroom. Barrows testified that Jones pushed, punched, and choked
him. Eventually Jones ended up on top of Barrows, and Barrows thought he was dying because
Jones choked him to unconsciousness.
I. PRETRIAL AND TRIAL
The State charged Jones with first degree burglary and second degree assault. The trial
court granted Jones's request for a trial continuance from September 20 to October 4, 2010,
because counsel had only recently received Dr. Yolanda Duralde's report. During pretrial
motions, the trial court denied Jones's motion to exclude Dr. Duralde's expert testimony on
strangulation.
The State also moved to admit Young's 911 call into evidence. The trial court noted that
the female on the recording was crying and hysterical, her ability to communicate with the 911 .
operator was impaired, and the caller appeared to believe there was a threat of harm because her
voice was panicked. But,the trial court reserved ruling on its admission until after jury selection
when it noted that it would "preliminarily rule that it' admissible."
s Verbatim Report of
Proceedings (VRP)Oct. 11, 2010) at 24. The next day, the State and Jones's counsel stipulated
(
that a copy of the 911 call from Young was admissible as a business record under ER 803( )(

RCW 5.5. and RCW 5.5.

authenticity, and confrontation violation objection, during testimony from the responding officer,

- -
and again during the State's closing argument. Young did not respond to the State's subpoena
that she appear in court and testify.
Barrows testified for the State. The State introduced police photographs of Barrows's
injuries, damage to Young's apartment door, and a broken mirror. Next, Dr. Duralde testified
about her training and expertise.on the effects of strangulation on the human body. Although Dr.
Duralde did not personally examine Barrows, she reviewed the police report and photos, and,
opined that Barrows's neck marks were consistent with strangulation.
Next, Sergeant Robert Carpenter testified that he responded to a 911 call to Young's
apartment. The State moved to play the 911 recording for the jury. Jones stated, " ust the
J
previously'stated objections,"and the court admitted the 911 recording over Jones's objections.
VRP (Oct. 12, 2010) at 109. Sergeant Carpenter testified about Barrows's physical condition
and the condition of Young's apartment.
On cross -examination, Jones asked Sergeant Carpenter about how the fight started:
Q: So you don't know how the fight got started?
A: I know frombased on the evidence and the scene and the story,that I was
—
told
Q: I understand that. But in terms of—still don't know for certain who
you
started the fight?
A. Well, no, I do. The person who forced that door open probably started the
fight. I think if I was in my residence and somebody forced their way in, well,
they would probably have a stiffer penalty.
VRP (Oct. 12, 2010) at 116 17. Jones did not object to Sergeant Carpenter's testimony either on
-
direct or cross -examination.

No. 42345 6 II

Jones testified in his defense. According to Jones, although they had argued a few days
before this incident, he and Young had keys to each other's homes and they came and went
freely. Jones testified that on April 1, Jones knocked at Young's door and, not hearing a
response, he put his key in the lock. He heard noises coming from inside the apartment. When
Jones tried to open the door, somebody pushed it shut. Jones did not know who did so, but he
knew it had to be a man because of the strength exerted. Jones responded by pushing back.
When he got inside the door he was immediately hit twice in the face.
But on cross -examination, Jones admitted to forcing his way into Young's apartment and
damaging the front door. Jones said the marks on Barrows's neck came from him trying to hold
Barrows off with one hand and that he never had two hands on Barrows's neck. Jones testified
that Barrows asked him to stop, but he admitted that he hit Barrows two or three more times in
the face before leaving. As he left,he walked by Young outside on the phone with police.
The State argued in closing that when Jones showed up at Young's apartment, he became
angry that another man was there, kicked down the door, attacked and beat up Barrows until he
had Barrows pinned down in the bedroom closet, and strangled Barrows until he lost
consciousness. The State argued that Jones had to "come up with an explanation"for the marks
on Barrows's neck as opposed to Barrows who candidly told his story and had no motivation to
lie or embellish or exaggerate what happened that day. VRP (Oct. 13, 2010) at 161 The State
continued, Of the two, Mr. Barrows is the one [who] has credibility[;] Jones has none, "
" Mr.
and

Obviously, Mr. Barrows told you that wasn't the case. The door came flying
open, MoniqueEl Young took off for the bathroom and Mr. Jones came in and
started beating the crap out of him. That is the most logical explanation. That is
the most reasonable explanation and for the simple reason, it' the truth.
s
VRP ( ct. 13, 2010)at 183 84.
O -
In contrast, Jones's counsel argued that Jones lacked intent to commit any crime, that he
had permission to be in Young's apartment, and that he acted in self -
defense. The jury returned
guilty verdicts for first degree burglary and second degree intentional assault by reckless
infliction of substantial bodily harm (as opposed to intentional assault by strangulation).
II. POSTTRIAL MOTIONS
At sentencing, Jones had new counsel. Jones signed a stipulation on his prior record and
offender score. The trial court entered a standard sentence of 75 months of incarceration for first
degree burglary; 20 months of incarceration for second degree assault; and community custody
for 18 months or the period of earned release, whichever is longer.
Months later, Jones filed a posttrial motion for a new trial, arguing that prior trial counsel
failed to discover evidence and was ineffective. Accompanying this motion, Jones filed (1)a
declaration from Young explaining her belief that Jones was "100%
innocent, and should have
not been convicted,"Supp. Clerk's Papers (CP)at 169; 2)a declaration from Young's sister,
(
Marcia Lane, which explained that Jones and Young cohabited, that Jones had a key to Young's
apartment, and that he came and went as he pleased with no limitation or restriction; and (3).
a
declaration from Jones's friend, Joanna Juarez, which explained that Barrows had told her that he
hit Jones first. At the hearing in June 2011, Jones argued that trial counsel should have called
Young, Lane, and Juarez to testify and that the failure to call them at trial amounted to
5
No. 41638 7 II/
- -
No. 42345 6 II
- -
ineffective counsel. The trial court denied this motion. Jones appeals his convictions, sentence,
and the trial court's order denying Jones a new trial.
ANALYSIS
I. PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT
Jones first argues that the State engaged in misconduct in closing argument. We
conclude that the State did not engage in misconduct and that Jones received a fair trial.
A. Standard of Review
To establish prosecutorial misconduct, Jones must show that (1)the State committed
misconduct and (2) misconduct had prejudicial effect. State v. Anderson, 153 Wn. App. 417,
the
427, 220 P. d 1273 (2009);
3 review denied, 170 Wn. d 1002 (2010). If the defendant failed to
2
object, he must show that the State's misconduct "was so flagrant and ill intentioned that an
instruction could not have cured the resulting prejudice."State v. Thorgerson, 172 Wn. d 438,
2
461, 258 P. d 43 (2011).This more stringent second standard of review requires the defendant
3
to show that "( no `
1) curative instruction would have obviated any prejudicial effect on the jury'
and (2)the misconduct resulted in prejudice that `had a substantial likelihood of affecting the
jury verdict. "' State v. Emery, 174 Wn. d 741, 761, 278 P. d 653 (2012)quoting Thorgerson,
2 3 (
172 Wn. d at 455).But we judge misconduct by the effect likely to flow from it and focus more
2
on whether an instruction could have - ured the State's misconduct. Emery, 174 Wn. d at 762.
c 2
We inquire whether the misconduct has engendered " feeling of prejudice"that would prevent a
a
defendant's fair trial. Emery, 174 Wn. d at 762 (quoting Slattery v., of Seattle, 169 Wash.
2 City
144, 148, 13 P. d 464 (1932)).
2
n
No. 41638-
11/ 7-
No. 42345 6 11
- -
Here, Jones did not object at trial, request a curative instruction, or move for a mistrial;
thus Jones must first show that the prosecutor made improper comments amounting to
misconduct, then show that any misconduct was so flagrant and ill intentioned that no instruction
could erase the prejudice engendered by it. Thorgerson, 172 Wn. d at 455. We conclude there
2
were no improper comments and no misconduct.
B. Analysis
The prosecuting attorney represents the people and presumptively acts with impartiality
in the interest of justice. State v. Fisher, 165 Wn. d 727, 746, 202 P. d 937 (2009).Recently,
2 3
our Supreme Court reiterated that prosecutors have a duty of fairness to the defendant:
the the prosecutor represents. The
Defendants are among people
prosecutor owes a duty to defendants to see that their rights to a constitutionally
fair trial are not violated. Thus, a prosecutor must function within boundaries
while zealously seeking justice.
State v. Monday, 171 Wn. d 667, 676, 257 P. d 551 (2011)citations omitted).
2 3 (
1. Comments Vouching for Credibility of a Witness
Jones argues that the prosecutor improperly asserted her personal opinion about
Barrows's credibility and told " he truth"to the jury. Br. of Appellant at 20. Jones argues that
t
the prosecutor expressed personal opinions when the prosecutor said that Jones had to "come up
with an explanation" for the marks on Barrows's neck as opposed to Barrows who candidly told
his story. VRP (Oct. 13, 2010)at 161. We disagree.
The prosecutor may not assert her personal opinion as to the defendant's guilt or a
witness's credibility. State v. McKenzie, 157 Wn. d 44, 53, 134 P. d 221 (2006);
2 3 State v. Reed,
102 Wn. d
2 140, 145, 684 P. d 699 (1984). But
2 a prosecutor enjoys wide latitude in closing
7
No. 41638 7 II/
- -
No. 42345 641
-
argument to draw reasonable inferences from the evidence and may freely comment on witness
credibility based on the evidence. State v. Gregory, 158 Wn. d 759, 860, 147 P. d 1201 (2006);
2 3
State v. Lewis, 156 Wn. App. 230, 240, 233 P. d 891 ( 2010). "` [ here
3 T] is a distinction between
the individual opinion oftheprosecuting attorney, as an independent fact, and an opinion based
upon or deduced from the testimony in the case. "' McKenzie, 157 Wn. d at 53 (quoting State v.
2 .
Armstrong, 37 Wash. 51, 54 55, 79
- To
P. 490 (1905)). determine whether the prosecutor is
expressing a personal opinion of the defendant's guilt, independent of the evidence, we view the
challenged comments in context of the total argument, the issues in the case, the evidence
addressed in the argument, and the jury instructions and look for "clear and unmistakable"
expressions of personal opinion. McKenzie, 157 Wn. d at 54; State v. Brown, 132 Wn. d 529,
2 2
561, 940 P. d 546 (1997),cent, denied, 523 U. . 1007 ( 1998). Additionally, prosecutorial
2 S
remarks, even if improper, are not grounds for reversal if invited by defense counsel or if they
are a pertinent reply to defense counsel's arguments. State v. Carver, 122 Wn.App. 300,. 9'
307,
947 (2004).
The prosecutor's challenged statements all came during closing argument. When read in
the context of the prosecutor's entire closing argument, these statements do not appear to be an
expression of personal opinion; rather, these comments were based on the evidence presented at
trial. The prosecutor references the court's instructions to the jury and the evidence relied on.
Further, two of the challenged comments came in rebuttal and were pertinent replies to
defense counsel's explanation of witness credibility defense argument.
and self - First, the
prosecutor's comment, Of the two, Mr. Barrows is the one [who] has credibility[;] Jones
" Mr.
8
No. 41638 7 II/
- -
No. 42345 6 II
- -
has none,"
was in response to defense counsel's argument on Barrows's credibility. VRP (Oct.
13, 2010) at 181. Jones argued in closing, n] t everything [Barrows] says is absolutely to the
"[ o
letter correct and accurate. Just as the State is saying to you that Mr. Jones' s]testimony may
[
not be entirely credible, Mr. Barrows's]testimony may also have some issues in it and may also
[
have some exaggerations in it." (Oct. 13, 2010)at 171.
VRP
Second, the prosecutor's The door came
comments that " flying open, Monique Young
took off for the bathroom and Mr. Jones came in and started beating the crap out of him. That is
the most logical explanation. That is the most reasonable explanation and for the simple reason,
it' the truth"came in response to defense counsel's explanation of Jones acting in self -
s defense.
VRP (Oct. 13, 2010) at 183 84. These statements were not improper. Gregory, 158 Wn. d 759,
- 2
860; McKenzie, 157 Wn. d at 53 54. Jones does not show that the prosecutor made comments
2 -
vouching for the credibility of a witness.
2. Encouraging Jury to Convict on Facts Not in Evidence
Jones further argues the prosecutor repeatedly asserted that Jones "kicked down the door"
to gain entry to Young's apartment even when there was no evidence that he kicked down the
door. Br. of Appellant at 22. A prosecutor commits reversible error by urging the jury to decide
a case based on evidence outside the record. State v. Pierce, 169 Wn. App. 533, 551, 280 P. d
3
1158, review denied, 175 Wn. d 1025 (2012).
2
Jones argues there was no evidence to support the prosecutor's argument that Jones
kicked down the door. But Barrows testified that the door was kicked, and during the 911 call
Young stated that Jones "kicked in"the door. VRP (Oct. 12, 2010) at 44; Ex. 1. There was also
0
No. 41638 7 I1/
- -
No. 42345 6 II
- -
photographic evidence of the damage to the door frame. Jones does not show that the prosecutor
encouraged the jury to convict on evidence outside the record.
Jones also argues that the prosecutor improperly told the jury that Jones "had no key"to
Young's apartment, because Jones's unrebutted testimony was that he did have a key. Br. of
Appellant at 23. But, circumstantial evidence rebutted Jones's testimony. The prosecutor argued
that Jones did not have a key because a person with a key does not force their way into an
apartment. The prosecutor explained that if Jones had unlocked the door with a key and merely
the door, then the door frame should not have been damaged. There was
pushed against
evidence that the door frame was damaged from the pictures and testimony from Sergeant
Carpenter and Barrows. The prosecutor drew a reasonable inference from the evidence that
Jones did not have a key. Accordingly, the prosecutor did not argue evidence outside the record.
3. Misstating the Law Regarding the Elements of Burglary
Jones argues that the prosecutor committed misconduct by mischaracterizing the law
when it told the jury that the "physical evidence" and Barrows's and Sergeant Carpenter's
testimony " ispute[d]"
d that Jones had a "right to be there."Br. of Appellant at 23. This alleged
mischaracterization of the law was emphasized by the prosecutor's PowerPoint slides used
during closing argument that showed the damaged apartment door beneath the words
Entered Remained Unlawfully."Br. of Appellant at 24; CP at 132. Jones asserts the fact that
/
Jones damaged the door when he entered the apartment does not constitute evidence that he
entered " nlawfully."Br. of Appellant at 24. Jones is incorrect.
u
10
No. 41638 7 II/
- -
No. 42345 6 II
- -
The prosecutor properly argued that the State had to prove that Jones entered or remained
unlawfully in Young's apartment. The prosecutor then used circumstantial evidence to argue
that Jones entered or remained unlawfully. The prosecutor argued that the jury could infer that
Jones entered or remained unlawfully in part because he forced his way into the apartment. This
is a reasonable inference from the evidence that may be disputed by Jones but' it does not
constitute a misstatement of the law by the prosecutor. Accordingly, the prosecutor did not
commit misconduct.
4. Arguing in Contradiction of the Law in the JM Instructions
Jones next argues that the prosecutor's closing argument that Jones's entry into the
apartment was unlawful because it was forcible exceeds the court's definition of " nlawful"
u
entry as set out in the trial court's instructions. Br. of Appellant at 25.
The court's jury instruction provided:
A person enters or remains unlawfully in or upon premises when he is not
then licensed, invited, or otherwise privileged to so enter or remain.
CP at 61. Jones argues that there was no evidence presented that Jones had no license, invitation,
or privilege to enter Young's apartment and that the prosecutor improperly argued that Jones's
forcible entry met the court's definition. But, again, the prosecutor argued that the jury could
infer that Jones entered or remained unlawfully in part because he forced his way into the
apartment. The prosecutor's argument did not exceed the court's definition of "unlawful."
Thus, the prosecutor did not commit misconduct.

II. INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL
Jones next argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because (1)trial
counsel's failure to call Young and Lane to testify fell below an objective standard of
reasonableness; ( )trial counsel elicited improper opinion testimony from Sergeant Carpenter
2
that included a clear inference that, in the officer's opinion, Jones was guilty, and then failed to
ask the Court to strike the testimony; and (3)trial counsel failed to object when the prosecutor
misstated facts and vouched for Barrows's credibility. We conclude that counsel was not
ineffective.
A. Standard of Review
A defendant. is guaranteed the right to effective representation by both the Sixth
Amendment to the United States Constitution and article I, section 22 of the Washington
Constitution. State v. Grier, 171 Wn. d 17, 32, 246 P. d 1260 (2011) citing Strickland v.
2 3 (

demonstrates ineffective representation by satisfying the two part standard initially announced in
-
Strickland, 466 U. . at 687, and subsequently adopted in Washington. State v. Jeffries, 105
S
Wn. d 398, 418, 717 P. d 722, cent. denied, 479 U. .. (1986). To demonstrate ineffective
2 2 S 922
assistance, the defendant must show (1)counsel's performance was deficient; and (2)the
deficient performance prejudiced the defense. Grier, 171 Wn. d at 32 33 (
2 - citing Strickland, 466
U. . at 687; State
S v. Thomas, 109 Wn. d 222, 225 26, 743 P. d 816 (1987)).
2 - 2 The defendant
bears the burden of proving both parts, and the failure to establish either part defeats the
ineffective assistance claim. Jeffries, 105 Wn. d at 418 (citing Strickland, 466 U. . at 687).

When an ineffective assistance claim is raised on appeal, we may consider only facts within the
record. Grier, 172 Wn. d at 29.
2
First, a defendant must demonstrate that counsel's performance was deficient by showing
counsel's below
fell "` an objective standard of reasonableness. "' Grier, 171 Wn. d
2
performance
at 33 ( quoting Strickland, 466 U. . at 688). To
S prevail on an ineffective assistance claim, a
defendant alleging ineffective assistance must overcome "` strong presumption that counsel's
a
performance was reasonable. "' Grier, 171 Wn. d at 33 (quoting State v. Kyllo, 166 Wn. d 856,
2 2
862, 215 P. d 177 (2009)). measure reasonableness from counsel's perspective at the time
3 We
of the alleged error and in the context of all the circumstances. State v. Lord, 117 Wn.2d 829,
883, 822 P. d 177 (1991), denied, 506 U. . 856 (1992);
2 cent S Strickland, 466 U. .at 688. That a
S
strategy ultimately proved unsuccessful is "immaterial to an assessment of defense counsel's
initial calculus; hindsight has no place in an ineffective assistance analysis." Grier, 171 Wn.2d
at 43.
Second, the defendant must show a reasonable probability that,but for counsel's deficient
performance, the outcome of the proceedings would have differed. Grier, 171 Wn.2d at 34. "`
A
reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome."'
Grier, 171 Wn,2d at 34 (quoting Strickland, 466 U. . at 694);Thomas, 109 Wn.2d at 226. In
S
assessing prejudice, a court should presume, absent challenge to the judgment on grounds of
"`
evidentiary insufficiency, that the judge or jury acted according to the law' and must `exclude the
of arbitrariness, whimsy, caprice, nullification' and the like. "'

Any error by counsel, even if professionally unreasonable, will only warrant setting aside
the judgment if the alleged error affected the judgment. State v. Crawford, 159 Wn. d 86, 99,

147 P. d 1288 (2006).Thus, to set aside the judgment, the defendant must affirmatively prove
3
prejudice by showing the error had an actual, not just a conceivable, effect on the outcome.
Crawford, 159 Wn. d at 99.

B. Analysis
1. Failure to Call Witnesses
Jones argues that it was unreasonable for trial counsel to not call Young to testify because
Young told trial counsel more than a month before trial'that Jones acted in self -
defense and that
Barrows was the initial aggressor. Jones also argues that it was unreasonable for trial counsel to
not call Lane to testify because Lane's testimony "would also have corroborated that of Mr.
Jones."Br.of Appellant at 11. We disagree.
Due to the strong presumption of counsel's competence, failure to call a Witness will .
generally not support a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel. Thomas, 109 Wn. d at 230.
2
Counsel's decision to call a witness is presumed to be legitimate trial strategy or tactics. In re
Pers. Restraint ofDavis, 152 Wn. d 647, 742, 101. . ( 2004).The defendant can overcome
2 3d 1
P
this presumption, however, by showing that counsel failed to subpoena a necessary witness.
Davis, 152 Wn. d at 742.
2
Courts have held that counsel's performance was deficient ( )
1 when counsel failed to call
witnesses he determined would provide testimony material to the defense, State v. Weber, 137
Wn. App. 852, 858, 155 P. d 947 (2007),
3 review denied, 163 Wn. d 1001 (2008); (2)

counsel failed to conduct appropriate investigations, either factual or legal, to determine what
matters of defense were available."' re Pers. Restraint ofMonschke, 160 Wn. App. 479, 490,
In
251 P. d 884 (2010) quoting State v. Jury, 19 Wn. App. 256, 263, 576 P. d 1302 (Holding
3 ( 2
counsel's failure to "adequately acquaint himself with the facts of the case by interviewing
witnesses [ and] failure to subpoena them ... were omissions which no reasonably competent
counsel would have committed. "),Jury, 19 Wn. App. at 264, review denied, 90 Wn. d 1006
2
1978)).
When the failure to call a necessary witness is not a matter of trial strategy, deficient
performance is satisfied. See Jury, 19 Wn. App. at 265 n. .
1
Jones fails to show that Young would have come to trial even if she would have been
called by his trial counsel. To the contrary, Young was apparently hiding herself and not
responding to the State's subpoena that she appear in court to testify. During pretrial motions,
the State explained "here's currently a material witness warrant issued for Ms. Young. It's been
t
out since October 1st. I'e requested that law enforcement go to her residence. We have not
v
been able to locate her." VRP (Oct. 11, 2010) at 7. "I believe she is absenting herself, or
attempting to avoid process in this case."VRP ( ct. 11, 2010)at 9.
O
It was not unreasonable for trial counsel to not call Young to testify when a material
witness warrant failed to secure her attendance. We hold that it was not deficient performance
for Jones's counsel to fail to call Young.
-
Regarding Lane, first, Jones does not establish that he asked his trial counsel to call Lane
or that his trial counsel knew about Lane's potential testimony. Second, Lane filed a declaration

Jones was planning to give Young a ride to work on the day of the incident. Third, Lane was not
present at the scene so she could not offer any firsthand knowledge. Fourth, Lane's proposed
testimony about what Jones planned to do would have been inadmissible speculation or hearsay.
We hold that defense counsel was not deficient for failing to call Lane as a witness.
2. Improper Opinion Testimony
Jones next argues that his defense counsel elicited improper opinion testimony from
Sergeant Carpenter on cross -examination by asking how the fight' got started when Carpenter
was not present during the incident. We disagree.
The general rule is that witnesses are to state facts, and not to express inferences or
opinions. State v. Madison, 53 Wn. App. 754, 760, 770 P. d 662, review denied, 113 Wn. d
2 2
1002 ( 1989). But even a poor cross -examination will seldom, if ever, amount to a Sixth
Amendment violation. See In re Pers. Restraint of Pirtle, 136 Wn. d 467, 489, 965 P. d 593
2 2
1998).The reasonableness inquiry presumes effective representation and requires the defendant
to show the absence of legitimate strategic or tactical reasons for the challenged conduct. State
v. McFarland, 127 Wn. d
2 322, 336, 899 P. d 1251 ( 1995). On cross -examination, Sergeant
2
Carpenter testified:
Q: So you don't know how the fight got started?
A. I know frombased on the evidence and the scene and the story that I was
—
told.
Q. So that's the only way that you knew how it got started?
A. The evidence at the scene was consistent with the stories that I received from
the victim.
Q. Do,you know who started the fight?
A. I would imagine the person who came storming through the door.
Q. But you don't know that for a fact. Is that true?
16
No. 41638 7 II/
- -
No. 42345 6 II
- -
A. I think that's an aggressive act in itself. I know that must have been the first
event that took place because if the door wasn't forced open, the fight couldn't
have occurred.
Q. I understand that. But in terms ofyou still don't know for certain who
—
started the fight?
A. Well, no, I do. The person who forced that door open probably started the
fight. I think if I was in my residence and somebody forced their way in, well,
they would probably have a stiffer penalty.
VRP (Oct. 12, 2010) at 116 17 ( mphasis added). A reasonable defense attorney could believe
- e
that this cross -examination was reasonable and necessary because counsel intended to show that
Sergeant Carpenter lacked firsthand knowledge of who started the fight.. the tactic may not
That
have been successful is not the test; hindsight has no place in an ineffective assistance claim.
Grier, 171 Wn. d at 43.
2
Accordingly, we conclude that defense counsel's cross -examination was tactical and
therefore not deficient and hold that Jones has not demonstrated ineffective assistance during
counsel's cross-
examination of Sergeant Carpenter.
3. Failure to Object
Jones argues that defense counsel should have objected to the State's repeatedly
expressed personal opinion about Barrows's credibility during the State's closing argument. We
disagree.
Counsel's decisions regarding whether and when to object "fall firmly within the
category of strategic or tactical decisions." State v. Johnston, 143 Wn. App. 1, 19, 177 P. d
3
1127 (2007).The failure to object constitutes counsel incompetence justifying reversal only in
egregious circumstances on testimony central to the State's case. Johnston, 143 Wn. App. at 19.
Even if the defendant shows deficient performance, he then must establish prejudice by showing
17
No. 41638-
11/ 7-
No. 42345 6 II
- -
that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's deficient performance, the outcome
of the proceedings would have differed. Grier, 171 Wn. d at 34. A reasonable probability is a
2
probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome. Grier, 171 Wn. d at 34.
2
To establish that counsel's failure to object to evidence constituted ineffective assistance,
Jones must show that (1)counsel's failure to object fell below prevailing professional norms, 2)
(
the trial court would have sustained the objection if counsel actually.had made it, and (3)the
result of the trial would have differed if the trial court excluded the evidence. State v. Sexsmith,
138 Wn. App. 497, 509, 157 P. d 901 (2007),
3 review denied, 163 Wn. d 1014 (2008).The test
2 "
of the skill and competency of counsel is: After considering the entire record, was the accused
afforded a fair State v. Lei, 59 Wn. d 1, 6, 365 P. d 609 (1961).Jones must show that
trial[ ?]" 2 2
there is no conceivable legitimate tactic explaining counsel's performance. "' Grier, 171
Wn. d at 33 ( quoting State
2 v. Reichenbach, 153 Wn. d
2 126, 130, 3 One
101 P. d 80 ( 2004)).
conceivable legitimate tactic explaining counsel's performance could exist if counsel did not
want to risk emphasizing the damaging testimony with an objection. State v. Donald, 68 Wn.
App. 543, 551, 844 P. d 447, review denied, 121 Wn. d 1024 (1993).
2 2
Jones argues that the prosecutor expressed personal opinions when the State said that
Jones had to "come up with"an explanation for the marks on Barrows's neck "[ s opposed to
a]
Mr.Barrows, who candidly told his story. He didn't embellish it. He didn't exaggerate.
Mr. Barrows, he's not here to embellish or exaggerate. He's here to tell you what happened
in that apartment on VRP (Oct. 13, 2010) at
April 1, 2010," 161. Jones also argues it was
No. 41638 7 I1/
- -
No. 42345 6 11
- -
improper for the prosecutor to say that Barrows had credibility but Jones had none and to say
that
Obviously, Mr. Barrows told you that wasn't the
' case. The door came flying
open, Monique Young took off for the bathroom and Mr. Jones came in and
started beating the crap out of him. That is the most logical explanation. That is
the most reasonable explanation and for the simple reason, it' the truth.
s
VRP (Oct. 13,2010) at 183 84. Without elaboration, Jones argues that trial counsel's failure to
-
object to these statements constituted ineffective assistance. As noted above, Jones also argues
that the failure to object to Sergeant Carpenter's testimony was ineffective assistance.
But we have already examined the prosecutor's comments allegedly vouching for
witness's credibility and determined that Jones does not show that the State made improper
comments. We hold that it could not have been ineffective assistance to fail to object to the
prosecutor's comments that were proper.
Additionally, Jones does not show that there was no conceivable legitimate tactic
explaining counsel's failure to object. Counsel could have decided that Sergeant Carpenter's
testimony was slight and refrained from drawing attention to it by objecting unnecessarily.
Madison, 53 Wn. App. at 763. Defense counsel could have come to the same conclusion about
the prosecutor's statements in closing argument and did not want to risk emphasizing them with
an objection. Donald, 68 Wn. App. at 551.
After considering the entire record and Jones's arguments regarding ineffective
assistance, we hold that Jones fails to demonstrate ineffective assistance for counsel's cross-
examination of Carpenter, for failing to call witnesses, or for failing to object.

III. RIGHT TO CONFRONT.WITNESS
Jones next argues that the trial court committed reversible error when it admitted
Young's statements in violation of his confrontation rights because Young's'
statements to the
911 operator were testimonial. We conclude that the 911 call was nontestimonial and, therefore,
the trial court did not violate Jones's confrontation right.
A. Standard of Review
We review alleged confrontation clause violations de novo. State v. Fleming, 155 Wn.
App. 489, 502, 228 P. d 804 (2010). Under the Sixth Amendment's confrontation clause, an
3
accused has a right to confront witnesses against him. U. . CONST. amend. VI; see also
S
Crawford v. Washington, 541 U. . 36, 42, 51, 124 S. Ct. 1354, 158 L. Ed. 2d 177 (2004).The
S
confrontation clause bars the admission of testimonial hearsay unless the declarant is unavailable
to testify and the defendant had a prior opportunity for cross -examination. Crawford, 541 U. .
S
at 53 54.
- Where the police are involved in procuring an unconfronted statement, whether the
statement is testimonial depends on the "`
primary purpose "' for the :
interrogation during which
the statement was made. State v. Mason, 160 Wn. d 910, 918 19, 162 P. d 396 (2007)quoting
2 - 3 (
Davis v. Washington, 547 U. . 813, 822, 126 S. Ct. 2266, 165 L. Ed. 2d 224 (2006)),

3
Where the interrogation is "directed at establishing the facts of a past crime, in order to
identify (or provide evidence to convict)the perpetrator," product of such an interrogation is
the
necessarily testimonial. Davis, 547 U. . at 826. In contrast, statements are nontestimonial when
S
20
No. 41638 7 II/

No. 42345 6 II
- -
made " nder circumstances objectively indicating that the primary purpose of the interrogation is
u
to enable police assistance to meet an ongoing emergency." Davis, 547 U. . at 822.
S
Accordingly, the existence of an `ongoing emergency' at the time of an encounter between an
"
individual and the police is among the most important circumstances informing the `primary
purpose' of an interrogation." Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 563 (quoting Michigan v. Bryant, 131 S.
Ct. 1143, 1157, 179 L:Ed. 2d 93 (2011)).
W]ether an emergency exists and is ongoing is a highly context -dependent inquiry."
h
Bryant, 131 S. Ct. at 1158. In order to ascertain the police interrogation's primary purpose, a
court must "objectively evaluate the circumstances in which the encounter occurs and the
statements and actions of the parties."Bryant, 131 S. Ct. at 1156. "[ he relevant inquiry is not
T]
the subjective or actual purpose of the individuals involved in a particular encounter, but rather
the purpose that reasonable participants would have had, as ascertained from the individuals'
statements and actions and the circumstances in which the encounter occurred."Bryant, 131 S.
Ct. at 1156.
Washington courts have applied a four-
factor analysis. Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 563
citing State v. Koslowski, 166 Wn. d 409, 418 19, 209 P. d 479 (2009);
2 - 3 State v. Ohlson, 162
Wn. d 1, 11 12, 168 P. d 1273 (2007)).
2 - 3 First, we examine the timing of the statements relative
"
to when the described events occurred." Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 563 (citing Davis, 547 U. . at
S
827). A speaker's description of events as they are occurring is indicative of an ongoing
emergency; while a speaker's description of past events is indicative of a present need for
assistance. Mason, 160 Wn. d at 919 20;Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 563.
2 -
21
No. 41638 7 II/

Second, we assess the nature of what was asked and answered during the interrogation
"
to determine whether the elicited statements were necessary to resolve a present emergency or
merely to determine what happened in the past."Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 563 64 (
- citing Davis,
547 U. . at 827). Third, we consider the threat of harm posed by the situation as judged by a
S
reasonable listener. "' Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 564 (quoting Davis, 547 U. .at 827).
S
A plain call for help "against a bona fide physical threat" strongly suggests that
the speaker is facing an ongoing emergency. On the other hand, where it is clear
that the threat posed by the perpetratorto either the victim, the police, or the
—
publichas been neutralized, such circumstances tend to indicate that no ongoing
—
emergency exists.
Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 564 (citations omitted).Fourth, we evaluate the level of formality of the
"
interrogation." Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 564 ( citing Davis, 547 U. .
S at 827). Disorganized
questioning in an exposed, public area that is neither calm nor safe tends to indicate the presence
of an ongoing emergency while more-ormal encounters tend to be testimonial. Reed, 168 Wn.
f
App. at 564. In Davis, the Supreme Court assumed (without deciding) that 911 operators acted
as law enforcement agents during 911 calls. Thus, the operator's inquiries qualified as police
interrogations. Davis, 547 U. . at 823 n. . Washington courts have since applied this four part
S 2 -
test to cases involving 911 calls. E.g.,
Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 561.
B. Analysis
First, we examine the timing of the statements relative to when the described events
"
occurred."Davis, 547 U. . at 827. Jones argues there was no ongoing emergency when Young
S
called 911 and that Young was describing events after the fight was over and as Jones was
leaving the scene, showing that there was no ongoing emergency. We ' old that there was an
h
22
No.41638 7 II/
- -
No. 42345 6 II .
- -
ongoing emergency during the 911 call. Barrows testified that the whole event occurred in only
a few seconds. So the timing of Young's statements occurring within a few seconds or even
minutes of the fight tends to make them contemporaneous with the events described and thus
nontestimonial.
Second, we assess the nature of what was asked and answered during the interrogation
"
to determine whether the elicited statements were necessary to resolve a present emergency or
merely to determine what happened in the past."Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 563 64 ( iting Davis,
- c
547 U. . at 827. Jones argues that the dispatcher's questions tend to show that the interrogation
S
was used to determine what happened in the past. The dispatcher asked questions about Jones's
identity, what was going on, and where Jones went in order for responding officers to locate him,
which tends to indicate that the elicited statements were nontestimonial. Davis, 547 U. .at 827.
S
Third, we consider the threat of harm posed by the situation as judged by a "`
reasonable
listener. "' Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 564 (quoting Davis, 547 U. . at 827). Jones argues that a
S
reasonable listener would agree that Young was not under a threat of harm posed by the situation
because Young described no threat to herself and was not seeking help against any immediate
threat. But Young was under a threat of harm. A reasonable listener can hear Young in a frantic
voice yell at Jones, call him "crazy" several times, and yell "oh my f* * god"* *than
* more *
once. Ex. 1. And Young was not the only person under threat of harm. Barrows, the police, and
the public were all entitled to protection. Because Jones could have returned, he continued to
pose a threat to both Young and Barrows. And, he potentially posed a threat to the police as they
responded to the scene or when they attempted to locate him. Reed, 168 Wn. App. at 564.

Fourth, we evaluate the level of formality of the interrogation."Reed, 168 Wn. App. at
"
564 (citing Davis, 547 U. .at 827).Jones argues the interrogation was formal whereas the State
S
asserts it was not. The, interrogation was the result of a 911 call, indicating that it was not a
formal, planned questioning of Young by the police. Additionally Young's voice is frantic and
she is nonresponsive at times, also indicating it was informal and unplanned. We hold that the
911 call was nontestimonial and the trial court did not err in admitting it at trial.
IV. SUFFICIENCY OF THE EVIDENCE
Next, Jones unpersuasively argues there was insufficient evidence to support his
conviction of first degree burglary because to prove unlawful entry, the State improperly relied
on evidence that Jones's entry was forced.
We review a claim of insufficient evidence to determine "` hether any rational fact
w
finder could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt."'
State
v. Drum, 168 Wn. d 23, 34 35, 225 P. d 237 (2010) quoting State v. Wentz, 149 Wn. d 342,
2 - 3 ( 2
347, 68 P. d 282 (2003)). insufficiency claim admits the truth of the State's evidence and all
3 An
reasonable inferences that can be drawn. Drum, 168 Wn. d at 35. We defer to the trier of fact
2
on issues of conflicting testimony, witness credibility, and the evidence's persuasiveness. State
v. Thomas, 150. Wn. d 821, 874 75, 83 P. d 970 (2004),abrogated on other grounds by
2 - 3
Crawford, 541 U. .36.
S
To establish that Jones committed first degree burglary, the State had to prove that he
intended to commit a crime against a person or property therein, he entered or remained
unlawfully in a building and if, in entering or while in the building or in immediate flight
24

- -
therefrom, he (a) armed with a deadly weapon, or (b)
is assaults any person. RCW 9A. 2.
020.
5
Taken in the light most favorable to the State, there was sufficient evidence to show first .degree
burglary. The jury made credibility determinations and weighed the persuasiveness of the
evidence. Thomas, 150 Wn. d at 874. The jury was free to believe Barrows's testimony that
2
when Jones arrived, he banged on the door and demanded to be let in before forcing his way in.
The jury was free to believe that because Jones forcibly broke the doorframe, he was not
licensed, invited, or otherwise privileged to enter. That Young called 911 also supports a
reasonable inference that Jones was not invited into her apartment that day. Although Jones
testified that he had a key, the jury was free to not believe him. Taken in the light most favorable
to the State, the evidence supports a reasonable inference that Jones entered or remained inside
the apartment unlawfully. Thomas, 150 Wn. d at 874, Drum, 168 Wn. d 34 35.
2 2 -
V. SENTENCING ISSUES
A. Variable Period of Community Custody
Jones next argues that the trial court sentenced him to a variable range of community
custody in violation of RCW 9. because the length of his community custody depended
701
94A.
on the amount of early release time he earned. Jones is correct because the applicable period of
community custody must be 18 months and cannot vary depending on earned early release time.

the trial court to amend. State v. Boyd, 174 Wn. d 470, 473, 275 P. d 321 (2012),

The applicable community custody statutes have changed in recent years. The second
2010 amendment to RCW 9. applies to Jones because it applies to all persons convicted
701
94A.
before, on, or after June 10, 2010. RCW 9.
701 LAWS
94A. ( of 2010, ch. 267 § 15).Jones was
convicted on October 13, 2010. The statute provides that the court shall sentence an offender to
18 months of community custody, in addition to the other terms of the sentence, when a person is
convicted of a nonserious violent offense. RCW 9. )

Jones is correct that the language "or for the period of earned release ... whichever is

701( 4A.because it is not a set term of community custody. Br. of
2
9
Appellant at 37 38 (
- emphasis added).The State argues that Jones's term is not variable "except
as much as it may be reduced by defendant's earned early release." Br. of Resp't at 32. But
that the term may change based on Jones's earned early release time is problematic because his
term could also be increased by Jones's early release. For example, if Jones earned 20 months
of early release; then the sentence would provide that Jones serve 20 months community custody
because 20 months would be the longer of the 18 months ordered or the period of earned early
release. This result is not statutorily authorized.
Accordingly, we remand to the trial court to strike the offending language in Jones's
judgment and sentence and to issue a corrected judgment and sentence consistent with RCW
701( 4A.
9. ).

B. Offender Score Calculation
In his SAG, Jones argues that the second degree burglary conviction was improperly used
to calculate his offender score. According to RCW 9.
b),
525( 4A.a class B felony is counted
2)(
9
in an offender score if the offender had not spent 10 years in the community since release from
confinement for a felony conviction without committing any crime that results in a conviction.
6
At oral argument, the State acknowledged that it erroneously cited RCW 9. )(
a)
728( 4A.in its
2
9
brief. This erroneously cited statute is not pertinent to our analysis.
7 The State does not respond to the issues Jones raises in his SAG.
27
No.41638 7 II/
- -
No.42345 6 II
- -
In this case, Jones was convicted of second degree burglary, a class B felony, on March 20,
2000. Since that conviction, he has obtained five misdemeanor convictions. The trial court
correctly calculated his offender score.
Jones mistakenly relies on State v. Ervin, to argue that only a felony conviction can
interrupt the 10 year time used to calculate the offender
- score. 169 Wn. d 815, 826, 239 P. d
2 3
354 (2010). Ervin is inapposite because it addresses the effect of probation violations and not
misdemeanor convictions. Ervin, 169 Wn. d at 818. Because each of Jones's misdemeanors
2
reset the clock, he did not spend 10 years in the community without being convicted of a crime;
thus,the court properly used his burglary conviction when it calculated his offender score.
VI. REMAINING ARGUMENTS
Also in his SAG, Jones asserts that the trial court improperly allowed evidence of his
second degree burglary conviction because the conviction was more than 10 years old. ER 609
provides that evidence that the witness has been convicted of a crime shall be admitted for
impeachment if elicited from the witness so long as the conviction is not more than 10 years old.
During pretrial motions, the parties discussed Jones's prior convictions..Defense counsel agreed
that Jones's second degree burglary conviction was admissible. Defense counsel asked Jones
about his conviction on direct examination. Because defense counsel agreed that the conviction
was admissible and elicited this information on direct examination, this was invited error and
Jones cannot claim error on appeal. State v. Wakefield, 130 Wn. d 464, 475, 925 P. d 183
2 2
1996).

No. 41638-

No. 42345 6 II

Next, Jones asserts the State did not properly authenticate the 911 recording. Jones is
incorrect because he stipulated to the authenticity of the 911 recording before its admission at
trial. On October 12, 2010, the prosecutor, Jones, and Jones's counsel signed a stipulation that
stated, " hat a copy of the 911 CD containing a 911 call from MoniqueEl Dolores Young is
T
admissible as a business record under ER 803(
6), 45.and RCW 5.5. CP at
a)( 5.
RCW 010 020."
4
49. Jones's stipulated that the 911 call was from Monique Dolores Young, therefore the
stipulation properly authenticated the 911 recording for admission at trial.
Also, Jones argues that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his posttrial
motion, claiming its decision was based on untenable grounds. We review a trial court's denial
of a motion for a new trial for a manifest abuse of discretion and will not reverse absent an abuse

Jones argued both ineffective assistance of trial counsel and failure to discover evidence.
The trial court denied the motion. Because Jones claimed ineffective assistance of counsel,
Jones is required to show that counsel's performance was deficient and that the deficiency
prejudiced him. Failure to satisfy either factor defeats his ineffective assistance claim. We have
already determined above that Jones did not successfully show ineffective assistance due to
counsel's failure to call Young or Lane: For the same reasons, Jones also cannot show

ineffective assistance due to counsel's failure to call Juarez. Thus, Jones does not show the trial
court manifestly abused its discretion in denying his motion for a new trial.
Next, in his SAG, Jones asserts a speedy trial violation and a related ineffective
assistance claim. Jones states that his case ran " pproximat[e] days,"
ly 150
a thereby violating his
right to a speedy trial. SAG # . Although RAP 10. 0(does not require Jones's SAG to refer
1 c)1
to the record or cite authority, he is required to inform us of the " ature and occurrence of
n
alleged errors."There is simply nothing in the record to allow us to review this issue. A simple
allegation that it took 150 days to come to trial does not on its face indicate any speedy trial
violation. There are many legitimate reasons why a case may take 150 days or more to come to
trial. Because this issue may pertain to matters outside the record, and because the issue is not
sufficiently framed, we cannot address it on direct appeal. McFarland, 127 Wn. d at.33.

Next, Jones asserts that admission of Dr. Duralde's testimony was error because she did
not personally observe Barrows. But the facts or data on "which an expert bases an opinion or
inference may be those perceived by or made known to the expert at or before the hearing."ER

Dr. Duralde outlined her qualifications to testify about the effects of strangulation. VRP (Oct.
12, 2010) at 83, 84. She also testified that her opinions were based on the police report and
photographs admitted into evidence. Admission of Dr.Duralde's testimony was not error.

The only evidence in the record that could explain a delay in the trial is defense counsel's
successful request for a continuance because counsel only recently received Dr.Duralde's report.

Because we find no errors, we reject his cumulative error argument.
We affirm and remand to the trial court with specific instructions to strike the offending
language in Jones's judgment and sentence and to issue a corrected judgment and sentence
consistent with this opinion and RCW 9. ).
