State v. Fox

866 P.2d 181 (1993)

Facts

On January 11, 1991, Milton Fox (D) was charged with possession of ephedrine. Possession of ephedrine has been illegal in Idaho since 1988. D received 100,000 tablets of the substance via an out of state mail order catalog. D claimed that since he did not know that ephedrine was an illegal substance, the mens rea element of his crime was never satisfied.
