My family is from Iowa so we are all unaware of Idaho state laws and have some questions. My brother just recently got sentenced on two counts of video voyeurism in Idaho this week. The judge gave him three years fixed and two years indeterminate. The judge then retained jurisdiction for 365 days. He was turned over to the Department of Correction. Him nor any of our family has ever been in trouble before so we are not aware of what this all means. How much time do you think he will do? What does that mean when the judge retains jurisdiction for 365 days? Will he stay in county jail or go to state prison? We thank you for your time.

Hello s:

If he got that much time, he was charged with a felony.. As such, he HAD/HAS a lawyer.. That would be the guy to ask.

A 3 year fixed sentence in Idaho means he'll serve all three years the 2 year sentence and the judge retaining right for 365 days mean he can increase his sentence if he feels it necessary. He will go to the Idaho state pen which is in Boise Idaho. Write your brother and tell him to be a model inmate and he won't get added time by the jail or the judge. I hope this helps you Idahos laws can b confusing if you don't know them
