Idaho Law Review
(2024)
Abstract
Idaho is the only U.S. state in which cannibalism is illegal. Although its statute, passed in 1990, has been invoked only once, it provides interesting food for thought. In this article, the author reviews the statute’s provisions and offers suggestions for how they can be rewritten to be more efficacious.
