I would like to see the bear ID test required, but only for bear hunting in those GMUs where griz might be encountered (say, Whatcom, Kittitas, Chelan, Okanogan, Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille counties). No need for the local hunters who don't leave the OP or SW or Blues to have the test). |

Here's my Legal take on this. I have a degree in Law and Justice but am not a lawyer by any means so Pope would have to confirm or deny what I'm about to say. I'll try to explain it as simply as possible. From what I understand in order for the prosecution to prosecute them they have to prove what's known as mens rea. Which is criminal intent. Basically this means in order to be convicted of a crime it has to be proved that you acted with the intent to commit a crime. In this case the prosecution has to prove that they shot that bear knowing it was a grizzly and not accidentally shot it thinking it was a black bear. A defense attorney should be able to do this given the story that I've read on here. However, it will be easy for the prosecution to convict them of trying to hide the evidence by burying it. They will have to pay the penalties and fines or jail time for that. |
