A: Many factors go into the decision the prosecutor makes when deciding what charges to file. (For example, was it dark and was the person hit jaywalking? Was the driver texting or talking on his cell phone? etc.) If you are asking about your own personal situation you should seek an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Idaho.
