Idaho Annotated Plea Litany (Judge Windmill) is a document created by the Idaho Supreme Court to provide guidance for judges presiding over criminal plea bargaining. It is a comprehensive list of elements and legal considerations judges must consider when approving or denying plea deals. The list includes topics such as: the defendant's right to counsel, the nature and amount of evidence, the defendant's understanding of the plea agreement, the effect of the plea on the defendant's civil rights, and the defendant's mental condition. The list also contains considerations regarding sentencing, including how the plea affects the applicable sentencing guidelines and the range of sentences available. The Idaho Annotated Plea Litany (Judge Windmill) is divided into two parts: Part A contains the relevant considerations for judges to consider when approving or denying plea deals and Part B contains additional considerations for more complex cases.
