Attorney General Issues New Guide to Prosecuting Fish and Wildlife Crimes
OLYMPIA -- County prosecutors often face complicated legal issues in their efforts to bring fish and wildlife violators to justice, but they are getting some help on that front this week from the Attorney General's Office.
The office is distributing a new Prosecutors Manual for Fish and Wildlife Violations. It contains relevant laws, a discussion of tribal treaty rights and other legal information, as well as sample charging documents that prosecutors can use in fish and wildlife cases.
