Domestic violence crimes are becoming more prevalent in Idaho. These crimes range from an assault on a child or spouse to attempted strangulation.
Note: Assault (hitting) a spouse in front of a child is an aggravated offense and could lead to double the jail time.
If you are charged with domestic violence, or any crime, we recommend that you do not speak to the police without first obtaining legal counsel. If you are arrested, the police will try to build a case against you by asking you questions, and you can typically only hurt yourself by blindly answering questions.
Innocent people sometimes go to jail. Even if you are innocent, you should exercise your right to counsel. An experienced lawyer can properly advise you regarding cooperating with an investigation or phrasing answers so they will not be misconstrued. The maxim that "anything you say can and will be used against you" is true.
In Idaho, it is against the law to strike a spouse or a child, and individuals can be charged with assault for doing so. Another crime which occurs with alarming frequency (often enough to have a separate law) is attempted strangulation. This charge is quite popular with prosecutors and is brought against anyone who reaches for the neck of another during a fight or domestic altercation.
