Cyrus E. Maxfield v. State Idaho

In 1981 Cyrus Maxfield, a naturopathic physician, was convicted by a jury on twenty-one counts ranging from possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver to involuntary manslaughter. Maxfield then entered a plea of guilty to a charge of being a persistent violator of the law. He was sentenced on all twenty-one counts, but he appealed only the manslaughter conviction.
