Court of Appeals released State v. Doe today. Over one dissent, the Court held that juveniles cannot be shackled at evidentiary hearings without an order of the court/finding of necessity.
Kind of a huge fucking deal.
Better, the Court goes on to say it thinks kids shouldn't be indiscriminately shackled at all, and asks the rules committee to look into it.
Idaho. It's a pretty weird place.
