The Ninth Circuit has determined that a Washington conviction for possession of a stolen vehicle qualifies as an aggravated felony if accompanied by a sentence of at least one year of imprisonment.
“Washington’s stolen vehicle statute also requires actual knowledge that the vehicle was stolen. The statute requires not only that the defendant ‘knowingly’ possess the stolen property but also have a state of mind of ‘knowing that it has been stolen.’” “And since actual knowledge requires an intent to deprive the owner of his property, the state statute also matches the generic offense’s intent requirement.”
