State Idaho v. Misty Dawn Rose

Coeur d'Alene, idaho criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with violation of parole.



In December 2018, Misty Dawn Rose was charged with Delivery of a Controlled Substance pursuant to Idaho Code section 37-2732(a)(1)(A) in Kootenai County. She pleaded guilty. That same month, Rose was indicted by a grand jury on three counts. The State later amended the indictment to include only two counts: (1) Unlawful Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon pursuant to Idaho Code section 18-3316(1), and (2) Aiding and Abetting a Burglary under Idaho Code sections 18-1401 and 18-204. Again, Rose pleaded guilty to each count. The district court held a joint sentencing hearing in February 2019. In the first case, the district court sentenced Rose to a unified term of ten years with three years fixed, for delivery of a controlled substance. In the second case, Rose was sentenced to a unified term of five years with three years fixed, for unlawful possession of a firearm, and a unified term of ten years with three years fixed, for aiding and abetting a burglary. The district court ordered that her sentences in all three cases be served consecutively, but retained jurisdiction, sending Rose on a rider.
