Text: When considering a case on review from the Court of Appeals, this Court gives serious consideration of the views of the Court of Appeals; however, this Court reviews the trial court's decisions directly. State v. Coassolo, 136 Idaho 138, 140, 30 P.3d 293, 295 (2001) (citations omitted). This Court exercises free review over constitutional questions. Quinlan v. Idaho Comm'n for Pardons & Parole, 138 Idaho 726, 729, 69 P.3d 146, 149 (2003). The trial court's factual findings will not be overturned unless they are clearly erroneous. State v. Conant, 143 Idaho 797, 799, 153 P.3d 477, 479 (2007).
