At Bublitz Law, P.C. we take a forceful approach to representing people accused of murder. Our goal is to protect your rights and help you achieve the best possible results in Idaho state courts.

Idaho Laws on Murder

Under Idaho law, murder, which is called homicide, is defined as the unlawful killing of a human being. To be considered murder, the killing must have been intentional or have involved extreme and prolonged pain.

Idaho law recognizes two degrees of murder:

  • First-degree murder: This is the most serious charge. First-degree murder is charged when the death allegedly involves things like poison, torture or vengeance. It is also charged when a police officer has been killed, or in other serious situations.
  • Second-degree murder: All other kinds of murder are of the second degree.

The penalties for a murder conviction are serious. Every person found guilty of murder of the first degree can be punished by death or life in prison. People found guilty of second-degree murder can be punished by a minimum of 10 years in prison and may face a life sentence as well.
