• stating that “[t]he prosecution’s use of the word [Negroid] does not in any way appear to be an appeal to race-based prejudices, and we reject the claim that it was improper”
• prosecutor heckled black defense attorney in a death-penalty trial, asking,'\Where did you leam your ethics? In Harlem?\'
• prosecutor’s racist comment made outside of the jury’s presence was not an intentional appeal to racial bias that could have affected the jury’s verdict and prejudiced the defendant
• retroactivity under RCW 10.73.100(6) generally governed by federal standard
• heightened standard did not apply when an African American defendant's race was used by the prosecutor as evidence of the defendant's guilt because his race \legitimately tied to the physical and circumstantial evidence pointing to [a defendant of his race] as the 22 No. 92412-1 killer\
