Description
John Boehner was convicted by a Kootenai County jury of assault with intent to commit a serious felony upon a law enforcement officer. The jury also convicted Boehner of using a firearm in connection with the assault. He received an indeterminate ten-year sentence for the principal offense, enhanced by an indeterminate three-year term for use of the firearm. On appeal, we are presented with three issues: (1) whether the trial court erred in allowing testimony that Boehner previously had expressed a desire to "kill a cop;" (2) whether the evidence was sufficient to support the verdict; and (3) whether the sentence was unduly harsh. For reasons explained below, we find the first issue to be dispositive. We vacate the judgment of conviction and remand the case for a new trial.
