Idaho Criminal Jury Instructions are the official jury instructions used by the Idaho Supreme Court for criminal trials. They are based on the Model Penal Code and provide the law applicable to the facts of the case and guide the jury in determining the guilt or innocence of the accused. The instructions consist of three types: general instructions, which provide an overview of the law; specific instructions, which apply to particular charges; and special instructions, which are used for special cases, such as those involving circumstantial evidence. The instructions are written in plain language and are intended to make the law easy for the jury to understand. They are updated regularly to ensure accuracy and to reflect changes in the law.
