Charges were filed on the 21st of April. The evidence is very solid. It will take some fancy legal footwork to get him out of this. He has retained a heavy hitter out of Spokane to represent him. To get it up to First degree would have been a non-starter and then he isn't a "repeat offender" because he negotiated a non game violation plea deal on the 2007 case. The best we can hope for is two years of suspended privileges and accompanying IWVC. The Prosecutor's Office seems to be cognizant that the sportsmen of the State are for the most part furious and also that they see the IWVC hit as what it will take to get this behavior stopped.
