Lewiston teenager sentenced to maximum of 11 years imprisonment for attempted murder

Chloe Marks was sentenced this afternoon to a minimum of four years imprisonment and a maximum indeterminate sentence of 11 years by 2nd District Judge Michelle Evans.

Marks had pleaded guilty in December to attempted first-degree murder. Marks, who was 14 at the time, was accused of taking part in a shooting in February 2022 in the Lewiston Orchards with Triston Arnzen, also 14 at the time, in which Arnzen's stepfather and stepsister were both shot.

Marks will serve out her sentence through the Idaho Department of Correction and Juvenile Detention until Evans issues an order terminating her custody. Marks could also get released if the correction department receives jurisdiction of the case and determines she is eligible for release, or until she turns 21.

Evans also gave Marks credit for 379 days she has already served, which means she has three years left of the minimum sentence.

During the sentencing, Marks apologized and took responsibility for her actions, saying what she did was “morally and lawfully wrong.”

“I regret my actions with all my heart,” Marks said. “I will do whatever it takes to make this wrong right.”
