Even with his name released in the media, we will not post it here because he is a minor until he is officially charged as an adult.

It should mean that. But currently, jurisdictions have been using 2 seconds of forethought to qualify as "premeditation". Premeditation used to mean it was actually planned, with schemes for how to cover evidence, obtaining items to hide the body/clean the scene, prepare an alibi, etc. Recently premeditation has just meant walking over to the victim or grabbing a knife. So who knows. Maybe they do have evidence of planning ahead.
Murder 1 means he planned this right?
RCW 9A.32.030

(1) A person is guilty of murder in the first degree when:
(a) With a premeditated intent to cause the death of another person, he or she causes the death of such person or of a third person; or
(b) Under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to human life, he or she engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to any person, and thereby causes the death of a person; or
(c) He or she commits or attempts to commit the crime of either (1) robbery in the first or second degree, (2) rape in the first or second degree, (3) burglary in the first degree, (4) arson in the first or second degree, or (5) kidnapping in the first or second degree, and in the course of or in furtherance of such crime or in immediate flight therefrom, he or she, or another participant, causes the death of a person other than one of the participants : Except that in any prosecution under this subdivision (1)(c) in which the defendant was not the only participant in the underlying crime, if established by the defendant by a preponderance of the evidence, it is a defense that the defendant:
(i) Did not commit the homicidal act or in any way solicit, request, command, importune, cause, or aid the commission thereof; and
(ii) Was not armed with a deadly weapon, or any instrument, article, or substance readily capable of causing death or serious physical injury; and
(iii) Had no reasonable grounds to believe that any other participant was armed with such a weapon, instrument, article, or substance; and
(iv) Had no reasonable grounds to believe that any other participant intended to engage in conduct likely to result in death or serious physical injury.
(2) Murder in the first degree is a class A felony.

Obviously, Le have obtained more evidence to purge the Manslaughter First Degree and Second Degree Murder charges to make it First Degree Murder. Is there a death penalty in Washington State?
He's a minor so he can't get the death penalty. Even still, there's a moratorium on executions in Washington until our governor leaves office.Obviously, Le have obtained more evidence to purge the Manslaughter First Degree and Second Degree Murder charges to make it First Degree Murder.

Yes but there is no death penalty in the US for those under 18, even if charged as an adult. Also no life without parole.
The death penalty has been suspended in WA by Gov. Inslee.

Since the 17 year old murder suspect will be tried as an adult we will be releasing his name soon.

The detectives are 100% certain that this 17 year old is guilty. "His defense cannot be that we have the wrong guy."

No matter what happens in court the boy cannot receive the death penalty, according to Kitsap County Prosecutor. #JeniseWright
