IDAHO FALLS Idaho’s wrongfully convicted can now get compensated for the time they spent behind bars for crimes they did not commit.
Gov. Brad Little signed the Idaho Wrongful Conviction Act into law at the Bonneville County Courthouse Friday afternoon. Sen. Doug Ricks, R-Rexburg, brought the bill to this legislative session, working alongside Christopher Tapp; an Idaho Falls man exonerated in 2019 for the 1996 rape and murder of Angie Dodge.
