 Pre-Sentencing Investigation 5

MITIGATING FACTORS:

Defendant’s age and lack of documented criminal history; defendant’s rehabilitation

potential.

RATIONALE/RECOMMENDATION:

In light of the terms of the Idaho Code and of the defendant’s lack of prior documented
criminal history, it is hereby recommended at this point that the minimum sentence be
imposed with a stipulated recommendation that it be reviewed by the competent parole
board as soon as it is legally feasible to do so.

Throughout the course of his incarceration, nonetheless, it is further recommended that the
defendant be ordered to participate in all educational and psycho-social rehabilitative
programs available. Thus, once compliance with the minimum mandatory sentencing
requirements in Idaho will have been met, the defendant will have been given a greater
opportunity for social reintegration which should weigh favorably in his parole hearing.
