Idaho's Habitual Offender Statute

Posted by William Young | Sep 25, 2017 | 2 Comments

In Idaho, if a person is convicted of a felony for the third time, he/she will be considered a ‘persistent violator of law'. All three felonies do not need to be convictions from within the state of Idaho. Once the person is convicted the third time, he/she will be sentenced to prison for no less than five years and up to life.  

Read more about this law at Idaho Code 19-2514.

No, they do not have to be for the same crime. They only need to be felony offenses.
