Idaho Supreme Court

State v. Harrell

November 9, 2023

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed Rodney Harrell’s conviction, holding that the trial court properly denied his motion to suppress evidence obtained during a traffic stop and correctly applied the Court’s emergency order that reduced the number of peremptory challenges. The Court found no constitutional guarantee—under either the Idaho Constitution or the U.S. Constitution—to a specific number of peremptory challenges, and it declined to find a fundamental error.
