Former Idaho Death Row inmate pleads guilty to aggravated assault

A former Idaho Death Row inmate was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in prison with three years fixed.

Donald Paradis pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with the enhancement for use of a deadly weapon in commission of a felony.

Originally, Paradis was also charged with aggravated battery and marijuana possession but those charges were dismissed after the plea agreement.

The case stems from an incident in September of 2017.

Prosecutors said the arrest happened after a dispute with a homeless man who Paradis was allowing to stay at his house for the last couple weeks.

He was sentenced to death in December 1981 in Kootenai County but later released -- decades later -- in April 2001.
