In a criminal case, the state, through a prosecutor, initiates the suit, while in a civil case the victim brings the suit. Persons convicted of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, or both. Criminal defense attorneys represent clients who have been accused of committing a crime, and defend their rights at each stage of a misdemeanor or felony case -- from an arrest to an appeal after conviction. Criminal defense attorneys may be hired privately or provided by the government (called "public defenders").
Husum and BZ Corner are located in the White Salmon River Valley property proper, in the heart of the rich orchard lands. The towns are favorably situated as a hub for roads from the towns of Trout Lake, Glenwood, Laurel, Fulda, Panikanik, Gilmer, Underwood, and White Salmon. Under the bridge in Husum, Washington, just miles from Hood River, Oregon and the scenic Columbia Gorge, Husum Falls is a vertical 10 foot Class V waterfall offering excitement for rafts, kayaks, and onlookers. Tours are taken out daily on the wild and scenic White Salmon River where rafters have the option of taking the 10 foot falls head on.
