The Idaho Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a former state legislator convicted of raping an intern in 2021.

The ACLU of Idaho said the state’s new public defense system is leaving hundreds, if not thousands, of indigent defendants without lawyers, violating their constitutional rights.

Anti-government activist Ammon Bundy wrote in court filings he hasn’t paid income tax to state and federal governments since 2018.

The 9th circuit court of appeals heard arguments in Pasadena, California Tuesday in a lawsuit brought against the state of Idaho by the federal government. The case centers around whether or not the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act or EMTALA conflicts with Idaho’s abortion ban.

Judge Steven Hippler ruled Wednesday that Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, can face the death penalty.

Idaho's abortion bans permit doctors to perform abortions to prevent the death of a pregnant woman, but not to preserve her health. This lawsuit is aiming to change that by expanding the medical circumstances in which abortions are allowed.

“Our goal is not to take a life. It’s to take the suspect into custody and put them before a judge.”

Earlier this year, a young family's newborn baby unexpectedly died, and despite there being national standards for death investigations, Bonneville's county coroner did not order an autopsy.

Four University of Idaho students were found dead in a home not far from the university campus two years ago on Nov. 13, 2022. Police determined they were victims of homicide, and did not identify and catch a suspect until the end of December in Pennsylvania.

Kohberger’s public defense team has attacked the death penalty from multiple angles, arguing it is arbitrary, unconstitutional, violates international law, and that waiting on death row for years or decades wondering if you’d get lethal injection or firing squad if the state couldn’t get the right drugs was unfair.
