From Blaine County's Idaho Mountain Express:

Jury acquits Harrison of kidnapping charge - Guilty verdict rendered on lesser, misdemeanor charge

A Blaine County jury on Monday found Robert Joe Harrison Jr. not guilty of second-degree kidnapping, but convicted the former airport security guard of a lesser misdemeanor count of child enticement.

In finding Harrison not guilty of the more serious felony, the jury was in accord with a recommendation from 5th District Court Judge Robert Elgee, who exercised a rarely used courtroom procedure and advised the jury to acquit Harrison of the charge...

Elgee's non-binding advisement to the jury to acquit Harrison of the kidnap charge came at the request of Harrison's public defender, Kevin Cassidy...


Kevin was my father confessor in Twin and has my life-long respect. From the priesthood to the AG's Office to the magistrates bench to his current gig, he's always delivered.

The county commissioners may be sending his firm more clients.
