UNPUBLISHED OPINION

S IDDOWAY , J.

— Curtis Anderson appeals his conviction of one count of violation

of a no

- contact order, committed against a family or household memb er. The State

concedes that evidence at a CrR 3.5 hearing was insufficient to s upport the trial court’s
finding that incriminating statements Mr. Anderson made to police while in custody were
voluntarily and knowing ly made . Although the State argues that the error was harmless
, we disagree and hold that a new trial is required. Whi le that is sue is dispositive, we
address one other of Mr. Anderson’s assignments of error, alleged prosecutorial

misconduct, that we fear might otherwise be repeated on retrial.

FACTS AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
Early one morning in February 2017, Robert Del p , who lived at 1616 North Cedar

Street in Spokane, called the c ounty’s Crime Check hotline after seeing a man looking

into parked cars on the street. Mr. Delp later testified that he confronted the man , who
pulled out a “hunting knife” and then walked north on Cedar Street. R eport of

P roceedings (RP) at 93

. He described the man as wearing blue jeans, a dark jacket, and a

black baseball cap with an orange symbol on it. The man was wearing a bandana across
his face so, as Mr. Delp later testified, he c ould not see his face. Officer Trevor Winters
responded to Mr. Delp’s call at approximately 7:00 a.m. but was unable to locate anyone
in the vicinity who met Mr. Delp’s description.

A round 8:30 the same morning, police received another call reporting a person
rummaging through a car a couple of blocks from Mr. Delp’s home. Officer Winters
returned to the area and this time sighted Curtis Anderson on Walnut Street, just south of
an alleyway between August a and Nora S treets

. Mr. Anderson was wearing clot hing

consistent with Mr. Delp’s description. Officer Winters asked to speak with Mr.

Anderson and then, when he saw that he had a knife in a sheath on his belt, asked him to

sit on a nearby porch , knowing that other officers were responding. Mr. Anderson was
compliant.
Mr. Anderson gave his name and date of birth when asked, and Officer Winters

used the information to do a record and warrant check

. He learned that a court orderNo. 35410

State v. Anderson

3 prohibited Mr. Anderson from being within two blocks of the home of Mr. Anderson’s

mother, Ka r y Curtis, who lived at 1322 West Spofford Avenue

. Based on the officer’s

conclusion that he and Mr. Anderson were then “[a]pproximately two blocks ” from Ms.

Curtis’s home and that Mr. A nderson would have been even closer to her home if he was
the person sighted by Mr. Delp, he questioned Mr. Anderson about the possible no

contact violation. RP at 110

. According to Officer Winters, Mr. Anderson denied being

at his mother’s home the nigh t before or that day, but when asked if he had been involved

in an altercation with someone at 1616 North Cedar, he admitted he had exchanged

words with someone while walking by that location.
Coincidentally, as Officer Wi nters spoke with Mr. Anderson, David Curtis, Kar y
Curtis’s husband, called police to report a possible burglar y the night before at their
Spofford Avenue home

. Mr. Curtis had discovered an open gate and that a bathroom
window on the ground floor was open and it s screen was cut. A lar ge overturned bucket
was on the ground outside the window and footprints in the snow led to the bucket

.
Officer Nicholas Spolski res ponded to Mr. Curtis’s call. H e notified Officer Winters of

what he learned from Mr. Curtis.

The officers decided to tak e Mr. Anderson to Mr. Delp’s home for a field show up.
As Mr. Delp described the showup at trial, he stood on hi s porch with Officer Winters

while Officer Spolski had Mr. Anderson , who was handcuffed, step out of a patrol car

located about a half a block a way. Mr. Delp testi fied that he told officers he could notNo. 35410

State v. Anderson

4 make a facial identification, but that Mr. Anderson’s clothes and backpack matched those

of the man he had seen. By the time Mr. Anderson was presented to Mr. Delp, Officer

Winters had relieved M r. Anderson of his knife and he was not wearing the sheath, so
Mr. Delp made no identification of those items. The knife taken from Mr. Anderson was

not admitted into evidence or identified at trial.
The officers did not have Mr. Anderson speak, so Mr. De lp made no voice

identification. When cross

- examined at trial, Mr. Delp acknowledged that it was just
beginning to get light when he had the encounter with the suspected vehicle prowler, that

the encounter lasted about 10 seconds, and that he could not de scribe the suspect’s height,
weight, or hair color.
Following the showup, Officer Spolski told Mr. Anderson that his shoe prints

matched those seen in the snow at the Curtis home and that Mr. Delp placed him in the

area. Officer Spolski claims that i n response, Mr. Anderson told the o fficer that he “had
gone to his mom’ s house because he was cold and hungry.” RP at 138

.
Mr. Anderson was charged with one count of felony violation of a no

- contact

order, domestic violence. The prohibition language from the order, which was admitted

as an exhibit at trial, stated:No. 35410

State v. Anderson

5 Ex

. 1.

The trial court conducted a CrR 3.5 hearing on the admissibility of Mr.

Anderson’s statements to police on the first day of trial. Officer Winters was called by
the State and provided the following testimony about advising Mr. Anderson of his rights
after stopping him on Walnut Street:

A. He was detained at that time. He was not placed under arrest. Q. Did you speak to him? A. Yes, I did. Q. Did he appe ar to want to speak to you?
A. I advised him of his Miranda [ 1 ] rights, which he stated he understood. And then he waived his rights and was willing to talk to me. Q. So you did advise him of his rights at that time? A. Sorry. Prior to advising him of hi s rights, I asked him what he was doing. He said he was checking on that vehicle. He said he believed it was abandoned and was just making sure no one else had broken into it.

6 identified a department issued card printed with a warning of constitutional rights

. The

card was not offered or admitted into evidence. Officer Winters reiterated that he
“personally read [Mr. Anderson] his rights” but then stated, “I do not recall if I used a
card or if I said the rights from memory.” RP at 58

. He acknowledged that Mr.

Anderson had not signed a constitutional rights card and had not been presented with one.

The officer later testified that the cards might not even have been printed and available at

the time of Mr. Anderson’s detention , adding, “I gave him a verbal admonishment

. ”

RP at 63.

Mr. Anderson testified at the hearing that the officer who stopped him was not

Officer Winters. H e denied th at any officer advised him of his Miranda rights and denied

that he w as within two blocks of his mother’s home as charged

.
The trial court suppressed only the statements made by Mr. Anderson before the
point at which Officer Winters claims to have read or recited Miranda warnings . The
court found that the officer provided Miranda warnings early in the men’s encounter

. It
ruled all of Mr. Anderson’s post

- Miranda statements admissible, stating , in part:

The officer testified that he read those

—he recited those rights or read them. He wasn’t certain that he recited them from memory, and there was
no questioning about that. There was no question that this court is aware of that those rights were incorrectly or improperly provided.

State v. Anderson

7 At trial, the defense focused on weaknesses in Mr. Delp’s identification of Mr.

Anderson and whether

— if Mr. Anderson was not the man seen by Mr. Delp

— the State
had proved that Mr. Anderson was ever withi n two blocks of his mother’s home

.
Officer Winters testified that the location where he stopped Mr. Anderson was

within two blocks of Ms. Curtis’s home

. But Mr. Curtis testified that a person would

have to travel three blocks to arrive at the location. Defense counsel question ed
witnesses with a map that was referred to as “Defendant’s Exhibit No. 1,” but she never

offered it in evidence. 2 RP at 127.
During closing argument, t he prosecutor argued that Mr. Anderson knowingly

violated the provisions of the no

Walnut Street, Mr. Anderson’s admission to Officer Spolski that he went to his mother’s

home , and the footpr ints in the snow in the Curtis es ’ yard

. The prosecutor pointed jurors

to an instruction that knowingly performing an act is established if the person performs

the act intentionally and told the jury, “ whatever we do, we do intentionally.” RP at 164

.
He offered as an example the jurors ’ “ intentional ” appearance in response to their jury

summons es

. The d efense did not object.

The jury found Mr. Anderson guilty of the sole count of felony violation of a no

contact order and that the crime was committed against a family or household member.
The trial court sentenced Mr. Anderson to 60 months’ confinement and at the request of

Mr. And erson’s mother, modified the no

- contact order to permit th em to communicate.

Mr. Anderson appeals

.
ANALYSIS

M r. Anderson makes 10 assignments of error

. Four relate to the trial court’s ruling

that Mr. Anderson’s statements to police were admissible , including an assignment of
error to the trial court’s failure to enter findings of fact and conclusions of law following

the C rR 3.5 hearing

. Because we conclude that a new trial is required in light of the

non harmless error in admitting Mr. Anderson’s statements, we address only (1) that

issue
, (2) the challenge to the no

- contact order on c onstitutional vagueness grounds, andNo. 35410

- 5

- III

State v. Anderson

9 ( 3) a contention of prosecutorial misconduct for conflating intentional action with
knowing action that we fear might otherwise be repeated on retrial.

We first address the vagueness challenge, then address our conclusion that the

admission of Mr. Anderson’ s statements to police was not harmless
, and turn last to the
confusion over the required element that the violation of a no

- contact order be
“knowing.”

A vagueness challenge to the no

- contact order was not preserved

If Mr. Anderson’ s vagueness challenge to the no

- contact order was successful, we
would direct the trial court to dismiss the charge against him, so we address that asserted

error first. Mr. Anderson argues the order is unconstitutionally vague because the

handwritten “2 blk ” in the order is illegible and “ two block s ” is not a sufficiently definite
description of the area he was prohibited from entering. Clerk’s Papers (CP) at 3.

RAP 2.5(a) states the general rule that appellate courts will not entertain issues not

raised in the trial court. State v. Guzman Nunez
, 160 Wn. App. 150, 157, 248 P.3d 103

(2011) (citing State v. Scott
, 110 Wn.2d 682, 685, 757 P.2d 492 (1988)
, aff’ d
, 174 Wn.2d

707, 285 P.3d 21 (2012) )

. The reason for this rule is to afford the trial court an
opportunity to correct errors as they are raised, thereby preserving the use of judicial

resources. Scott
, 110 Wn.2d at 685. Mr. Anderson did not testify at trial . H is lawyer did
not challenge the no

- contact order as unconstitutionally vague.No. 35410

- 5

- III

State v. Anderson

10 RAP 2.5(a)(3) permits a party to raise an unpreserved claim of “manifest error
affecting a constitutional right.” To establish manifest constitutional error, a criminal

defendant must identify a constitutional error and make a showing that the error
negatively affected his rights at trial. State v. Kirkman
, 159 Wn.2d 918, 926

- 27, 155 P.3d

125 (2007). “It is this showing of actual prejudice that makes the error ‘manifest,’
allowing appellate review.” Id. at 927 (citing State v. McFarland
, 127 Wn.2d 322, 333,

899 P.2d 1251 (1995)). “If the facts necessary to adjudicate the claimed error are not in

the record on appeal, no actual prejudice is shown and the error is not manifest.”

McFarland
, 127 Wn.2d at 333.
The due process vagueness doctrine under the Fourteenth Amendment to the

United States Constitution and article I, section 3 of the state constitution requires that
citizens have fair warning of proscribed conduct. State v. Bahl , 164 Wn.2d 739, 752, 193

P.3d 678 (2008). The same vagueness doctrine that applies to statu tes app lies to
protection or no

- contact orders whose violation could result in criminal penalties

. E.g.
, City of Seattle v. May , 171 Wn.2d 847, 855

- 56 , 256 P.3d 1161 (2011). Such a n order is
unconstitutionally vague if it is either insufficiently definite such that ordinary people
cannot understand what conduct is proscribed, or if it does not provide ascertainable
standards of guilt to protect against arbitrary enforcement. Bahl , 164 Wn.2d at 752

- 53.

Mr. Anderson relies on the former infirmity: he argues that his no

- contact order was
unconstitutionally indefinite.No. 35410

- III

State v. Anderson

11 In a case addressing an allegedly vague statute, the United States Supreme Court
has held that the degree of vagueness that the Constitution tolerate s , as well as the
relative importance of fair notice and fair enforcement, depends in part on the nature of

the enactment. Vill. of Hoffman Estates v. Flipside, Hoffman Estates, Inc. , 455 U.S. 489,

498

- 99, 102 S. Ct. 1186, 71 L. Ed. 2d 362 (1982) . We find that the distinctions identified

in Hoffman Estates also have relevance where a court order imposed against a particular

defendant is alleged to be unconstitutionally vague. The Court explained that economic
regulations are subject to a less strict vague ness test because their subject matter is often
more narrow and a regulated enterprise may have the ability to clarify the meaning of the
regulation by its own inquiry. 3 Here, the no

- contact order had a very narrow subject
matter and was completed in the presence of Mr. Anderson, who signed it. T he

handwritten two block prohibited zone might even have been requested by Mr. Anderson
or his lawyer as easier to comply with than the default prohibited zone of 1,000 feet
provided by the standard no

- contact order form

. See Ex. 1. The meaning of the two

3 This court has likewis e held that when a court order applicable to a particular defendant is challenged a s unconstitutionally vague, the fact that the defendant actual ly understands what is prohibited is a sufficient response to the challenge. In State v. Weatherwax , for insta nce, this court cited United States v. Soltero , 510 F.3d 858 (9th Cir. 2007)
, for the proposition that a condition forbidding a defendant from wearing or possessing items connoting affiliation with a particular gang was not insufficiently definite for that defendant, who was an admitted member of the gang and presumably familiar wi th its paraphernalia. Weatherwax
, 193 Wn. App. 667, 678, 376 P.3d 1150 (2016), rev’ d on other grounds , 188 Wn.2d 139, 392 P.3d 1054 (2017).No. 35410

State v. Anderson

12 block zone might well have been discussed at the hearing at which the no

- contact order

was entered.

Hoffman Estates also observes that the Court “has recognized that a scienter
requirement may mitigate a law’ s vagueness, especially with respect to the adequacy of
notice to the complainant that his conduct is proscribed.” 455 U.S. at 499. As observed

in Screws v. United States
, “ The requirement that the act must be willful or purposeful
may not render certain , for all purposes, a statutory definition of the crime which is in
some respects uncertain. But it does relieve the statute of the objection that it punishes
without warning an offense of which the accused was unaware. ” 325 U.S. 91, 10 2, 65 S.

Ct. 1031, 89 L. Ed. 1495 (1945 ) (plurality opinion) (emphasis added)

. In Mr. Anderson’s
case, the State would not meet its burden of proving the essential element of a “knowing
violation” without satisfying jurors b eyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Anderson knew

w hat the no

- contact order prohibited.

Mr. Anderson’s first vagueness challenge to the no

- co ntact order

— that the

handwritten “2 blk” is illegible

— does not qualify as manifest constitutional error because

the trial court heard Mr. Anderson’s testimony at the CrR 3.5 hearing that he knew the

no

- contact order prohibited him from coming within two blocks of his mother’s home.

His second ob

jection to the order

— that “two block s ” is not a sufficiently definite
description of the prohibited area

— fails because facts necessary to adjudicate the claimed

error are not in the record on appeal

. At trial, Mr. Anderson did not c hallenge the no

-No. 35410

- 5

- III

State v. Anderson

13 contact order as unconstitutionally vague

. He argued, principally, that it describ ed the

number of linear blocks that someone traveling on public streets or walkways must travel
,
which he contended was three

. 4 As defense counsel argued in closing, “what we heard is
that, to get from the Spofford a ddress, you had to go up one block to the intersection of
Augusta, cross the street, go up another block to get to the intersection of Nora and
Cedar, and then head one block west to get to the intersection of Walnut and Nora.”

RP at 171

.

T he no

- contact order was in evidence but no evidence was presented of what
transpired at the hearing at which the order was entered , which Mr. Anderson attended

. Because facts necessary to determine what Mr. Anderson actually understood about the

two block zone are not in the record, no actual prejudice is shown and the error is not

manifest.
Admitting Mr. Anderson’s incriminating admission s was not harmless error

The State concedes that Mr. Anderson’s statements were admitted in violation of

his constitutional rights. We are not required to accept a concession we determine is

4 The field of mathematics has names for describing this method for measuring distance. See, e.g.
, “ Taxicab geomet ry ,” W IKIPEDIA , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Taxicab

_ geometry (last visited on Oct. 24, 2018 ). Notably, among the names for this type of distance measurement are the “taxicab metric,” “city block distance,” or “Manhattan distance.” Id. “City block dis tance” is distinguished from Euclidean geometry, which appears to have been Officer Winters’s basis for estimating that the location where he stopped Mr. Anderson was within two spatial blocks of Ms. Curtis’s home.No. 35410

State v. Anderson

14 erroneous , however

. State v. Nysta
, 168 Wn. App. 30, 44, 275 P.3d 1162 (2012).

Miranda warnings are designed to protect a defendant’s right not to make
incriminating statements while in the potentially coercive environment of custodial police
interrogation. State v. Harris
, 106 Wn.2d 784, 789, 725 P.2d 975 (1986), cert. denied
,
480 U.S. 940, 107 S. Ct. 1592, 94 L. Ed. 2d 781 (1987). Unless a defendant has been
given Miranda warnings, his statements during police interrogation are presumed to be
involuntary. State v. Sargent
, 111 Wn.2d 641, 647

- 48
, 762 P.2d 1127 (1988). Unwarned

statements must therefore be excluded from evidence under Miranda

. Oregon v. Elstad
,
470 U.S. 298, 307, 105 S. Ct. 1285, 84 L. Ed. 2d 222 (1985). We review the adequacy of

Miranda warnings de novo. State v. Hopkins , 134 Wn. App. 780, 785, 142 P.3d 1104

(2006).
Mr. Anderson was not presented with a written Miranda warning admitted into
evidence, so the adequacy of the warnings depends on what Officer Winters said to Mr.

Anderson. If the officer read from a card, the record does not reveal what the card said.

The officer’s testimony suggests it was more likely he r ecited the rights from memory,
but he was never asked to repeat his memorized recital at trial. In short, no evidence was
presented from which to determine the adequacy of any warnings that were given

. We
therefore accept the State’s concession that it w as error for the trial court to admit Mr.
Anderson’s statements to police.No. 35410

State v. Anderson

15 The State argues that the error was harmless. A dmission of an involuntary

confession obtained in violation of Miranda is subject to treatment as harmless error.

, 500 U.S. 938, 111 S. Ct. 2067, 114 L. Ed. 2d 472 (1991) )

. To find an error affecting a
constitutional right harmless, we must find it harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.

Mr. Anderson’s alleged statements to police that he went to his mother’s house

because he was cold and hungry and was involved in an exchange with a person at 1616

North Cedar were the only clearly sufficient evidence of a violation of the no

- contact

order. Had those statements been excluded (as they should have been) , t he next strongest

evidence that he violated the no

- contact order was Mr. Delp’s identification

. Mr. Delp’s testimony did not establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt . He

“couldn’t be for sure” that Mr. Anderson was the prowler he confronted, because the
prowler had a hat and bandana obscuring his features

. RP at 94. Mr. Delp identified Mr.
Anderson by his clothing, but the clothing he described

— blue jeans, a dark jacket, a
black baseball cap with an or ange insignia, and a backpack

— was not unusual male attire
for a winter morning . It would not be surprising to have several or even more individuals

in similar attire in a n urban location on a given day. Mr. Delp also ackno wledged that heNo. 35410

State v. Anderson

16 viewed the suspected prowler for only 10 seconds in early morning light, and that during
the showup, Mr. Anderson was presented a half block away as Mr. Delp stood on his
porch

. He did not identify Mr. Anderson’s knife.

Officer Winters’s testimony that he located Mr. Anderson within the area
prohibited by the no

- contact order also fell short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Mr. Anderson’s presence in the general vicinity of his mother’s home was not itself
suspicious, since the defense presented evidence that Mr. Anderson grew up in the
neighborhood, where hi s mother had lived for 30 years. It presented evidence that he had
friends in the neighborhood

. I t was unclear that the location where Officer Winters
stopped Mr. Anderson was wit hin two blocks of the Curtis home and , given Mr.

Anderson’s possible understanding of “two blocks” as measured not by trespassing, but
by traveling on sidewalks or streets, it was even less clear that he was “ knowingly ”

within two blocks of his mother’s ho me

. Least probative was the limited extent to which Officer Spolski was able to match
Mr. Anderson’s shoes to footprints in the snow at the Curtis home . All the officer was
able to do was compare the size of Mr. Anderson’ s shoe with photographs of the

f ootprints taken by another officer. He did not testify that Mr. Anderson wore an unusual

size shoe. No shoe tread was visible in the crusty snow

. And defense counsel obtained

the officer’s concession that the Cu rtis home was located in what could be a h igh crime

area.No. 35410

State v. Anderson

17 Because the error was not harmless, retrial is required. 5

The State ’s misleading argument that “whatever we do, we do intentionally”

should not be repeated on retrial

Given our remand for retrial , it is unnecessary to address Mr. Anderson’s
remaining assignments of error . We choose to address the prosecutor’s misleading
argument about the relationship between intentional conduct and knowledge to avoid a ny

recurrence of that error on retrial.
The j ury was instructed that it is an element of the crime of violating a no

- contact

order that the defendant “knowingly violated” the order. CP at 24 ( Jury Instruction 9). It
was given the following instruction on acting “knowingly”:

A person knows or acts knowingly or with knowledge with respect to a fact, circumstance, or result when he or she is aware of that fact, circumstance, or result. It is not necessary that the person know that the fact, circumstance, or result is defined by law as being unlawful or an element of a crime.
If a p erson has information that would lead a reasonable person in the same situation to believe that a fact exists, the jury is permitted but not required to find that he or she acted with knowledge of that fact.
When acting knowingly as to a particular fact i s required to establish an element of a crime, the element is also established if a person acts intentionally as to that fact.

5 The State suggests that the remedy sh ould be remand for a new CrR 3.5 hearing. It provides no authority that its failure to present sufficient evidence of adequate Miranda warnings in the CrR 3.5 hearing should be remedied by giving it a second CrR 3.5 hearing

.No. 35410

State v. Anderson

18 CP at 22 ( Jury Instruction 7).

The instruction on acting “knowingly” is based on a pattern instruction, WPIC

10.02. 11 W ASHING TON P RACTICE J URY I NSTRUCTIONS : C RIMINAL 10.02 at 222 (4 th ed.

2016) (WPIC) . The comment to WPIC 10.02 highlights the very problem that was
presented by the prosecutor’s argument in the trial below that “whatever we do, we do
intentionally. ” RP at 164.

An earlier version of WPIC 10.02 stated, “Acting knowingly or with knowledge
also is established if a person acts intentionally.” 11 WPIC 10.02 at 223

. In State v.

Goble
, 131 Wn. App. 194, 126 P.3d 821 (2005), this court found error in the earlier
langua ge because inferring knowledge f rom intent is valid only if required mental states
are being evaluated with respect to the same fact. Following Goble
, the last paragraph of
the pattern instruction was revised to include the “ knowledge as to a particular f act

. . . intentionally as to that fact ” qualifier.

Goble held that one could n ot infer the essential element of a defendant’s
knowledge that his assault victim was a law enforcement officer from the intentional

nature of the assault. In this case, juror s could not infer the essential element of a
“knowing ” violation of the no

- contact order from the fact that walking is an intentional

act. They could only infer Mr. Anderson’s “knowing ” violation of the no

- contact order if
he intentionally violated the no

- contact order.No. 35410-5-III State v. Anderson

The prosecutor's argument that "whatever we do, we do intentionally" with the

example of responding to a jury summons, was misleading and constituted prosecutorial

misconduct. The erroneous argument should not be made in any retrial.

We reverse the conviction and remand for proceedings consistent with this

opinion. 6

A majority of the panel has determined this opinion will not be printed in the

Washington Appellate Reports, but it will be filed for public record pursuant to RCW

2.06.040.
