## Opinion text

¶150
Owens, J.
(concurring in part with C. Johnson, J.) — While I have signed the majority opinion, I agree with Justice Charles Johnson’s main argument in his concurrence in dissent. A different approach for sentencing is required under RCW 9.94A.535(l)(g). I also agree that sentencing courts applying RCW 9.94A.535(l)(g) should make a complete record to facilitate appellate review.
