Description
In 1979, officials from the Idaho Department of Fish & Game observed the respondents Lester and Conrad Gissel and Dave and John Lewis harvesting wild rice on land jointly owned by the state and the National Forest Service. After further observations, the department notified the county prosecutor who obtained a warrant to search Lester Gissels residence. The search revealed 180 bags of wild rice weighing approximately 50 pounds each which the state seized. David Lewis and Lester and Conrad Gissel were subsequently charged and convicted of trespass. The case against John Lewis, a juvenile, was dismissed. The district court set aside the jury verdict against the respondents, but was reversed on appeal by the Idaho Court of Appeals. State v. Gissel, 105 Idaho 287, 668 P.2d 1018 (Ct.App.1983). On remand, the prosecutor dismissed the charges against the respondents.
