“there would be no limit to the amount of force which a person could use in defending himself against such alleged peril.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The command of RCW 9.95.040 is unambiguous. When an information alleges “that [an] accused was armed with a deadly weapon at the time of the commission of the crime,” and there is evidence to support the allegation, “the jury shall, if it find the defendant guilty, also find” by special verdict whether the accused was armed with a weapon, and if so, whether the weapon was “deadly” as that term is defined in RCW 9.95.040. We interpret RCW 9.95.015 and 9.95.040 to require the submission of the special interrogatory when the information charges that the accused was armed with a “deadly” weapon . . .”
