Murder requires the government to prove that the actor killed another person, intentionally (not while asleep) and did so without being provoked first, and with malice. From your facts, it doesn't seem like any Sr. prosecutor would charge "murder," only to be embarrassed at court... View More

It sounds like you're in a difficult situation. The authorities' actions can feel abrupt and confusing, especially when there seems to be a verbal agreement and a lease in play. From your description, it appears the property may have been condemned due to safety concerns, which can lead... View More

My father is being released on parole and is at the age of 67. I would like him to retire and not be forced to work the remainder of his parole.
answered on May 25, 2023
You should contact your father's probation officer and ask about that. Your father can also talk to his probation officer. If you can't get anywhere with the Probation Officer, then you can file a Motion in the District Cout and bring this to the attention of the Judge.

Yes it means that they couldn't find the individual, but nothing but a line that says, "warrant recalled" will mean that there is no longer a warrant. Good luck to you!

In Idaho there are now 2 types of "stay away" orders. The first is a NO CONTACT ORDER. There is no way to have one of these against you, unless you've been charged with committing a Domestic Battery charge. In other words, it comes attached with a criminal charge. The other... View More

Yes, police have a reasonable belief that you at, at a minimum, frequenting a location, where drugs are being used, sold or distributed. So, YES, frequenting is a misdemeanor, criminal charge.

Police have the right to pull you over, if they get information from Dispatch or their CAD system, telling them that you are suspended or not licensed or if they see (or say they see) you commit a traffic infraction. I file Motions to Suppress, whenever I see a report and the cop SAYS he saw a... View More

Yes. While you're on probation, you may not possess a "weapon," but I believe the Legislature was referring to guns, not bows.

In order for a policeman to pull you out of traffic, the cop must have a valid, articulable suspicion that you are, have been, or are about to commit a crime, even a traffic offense. So, if we judge the cop's actions in pulling you over, we must look at the information he/she had about you,... View More
I live in Nampa, Idaho and I know that some nonalcoholic drinks are treated the same as alcoholic drinks, so if someone is not able to prove they're 21 and older then they'll be refused of service. So my main question is, is it illegal for a young adult below the legal drinking age to... View More
answered on Jul 25, 2022
Of course. If you substitute the words "non-alcoholic beverages" for "water," the answer would make more sense. Idaho law prohibits those under twenty-one (21) from consuming alcohol. So, what I think you might be talking about is if you were stopped by police or they... View More
