Blakely v. Washington Certiorari to the Court of Appeals of Washington

"Held: Because the facts supporting petitioner's exceptional sentence [increased by the judge from the maximum sentence of 53 months to a statutorily enumerated sentence of 90 months] were neither admitted by petitioner nor found by a jury, the sentence violated his Sixth Amendment right to trial by jury (p. 1)." Accession Number: 019768
