Basics of Idaho Misdemeanor Sentencing and Penalties
There are essentially two types of cases in Idaho, Misdemeanors, and Felonies. Misdemeanors are lesser crimes with maximum penalties of no more than 1 year in jail, and usually $1,000 fine (some cases might require a higher fine). You cannot go to prison for a misdemeanor conviction. You can only do local county jail time.
Felonies, however, bring with them the possibility of going to prison. In some cases, the time in prison may be up to life. Fines for felonies may be significantly higher. Felony convictions may also impact an individual’s constitutional rights (carry firearms, vote, hold public office, serve on a jury, etc.). Below, are the basics of misdemeanor sentencing and penalties in the State of Idaho. If you are facing any misdemeanor charges contact our criminal defense attorneys.
