Johnson, J.
(concurring in part, dissenting in part) — I agree with the majority’s result but disagree with its extended discussion about "whether the Defendant’s sexually motivated crime should be treated like a sex offense or a nonsex offense for [State v.] Barnes [117 Wn.2d 701, 818 P.2d 1088 (1991)] purposes”, while specifically declining to decide *901the issue. Majority, at 900. This dicta is unnecessary to the resolution of this case, confuses the analysis of Barnes, and is not helpful to the trial courts.
Utter, J., and Brachtenbach, J. Pro Tem., concur with Johnson, J.
