Here the Court has ordered the State and Defense to provide specific details regarding the parties' objections to unsealing certain documents set forth within the August 4, 2025 Order related to lay/expert witnesses identified by each side while the case of Idaho v.

In Episode 807, we note that the Clerk on August 20, 2025 noted on the Case Summary Page that both sides - State and Defense - filed their court-ordered responses to the August 4, 2025 order directing them to file any objections (or non-objections) to unsealing documents from the Idaho v. Kohberger case they filed under seal from June 2 - July 24, 2025.
As the August 4, 2025 order gave them 14 days to do so, we further opine and speculate the State and Defense have complied with the Court's order on the last possible date to do so - 14 days from the entry of said order.

In this special "Members Only" pure opinion piece, we explore representations reported by mainstream media today Aug. 14, 2025 finding that Det. Payne arrived 2 hours after the first responder called for help (approximately noon) when the Affidavit of Probable Cause signed by Det. Payne under penalty of perjury on Dec. 29, 2022 states he arrived at 4 PM.
The information reported this date continues to raise questions of how could five initial reporting officers have missed it.

In Episode 801, we provide opinions and a current update as of the early morning hours of August 14, 2025 concerning the potential unsealing of hundreds if not potentially thousands of records that were sealed from public disclosure in the 2.5 years that the Idaho v. Kohberger case proceeded (from Dec. 29, 2022 through July 23, 2025).
Amongst other matters, we observe that the Ada County Court in Idaho where the Idaho v. Kohberger case had been pending has published a notification that the unsealing of the case is anticipated to be a lengthy undertaking. This notice also provides an explanation as to where any such documents will appear as they are unsealed.

In Episode 798, we review a court order rendered by Judge Steven J. Hippler late in the day on August 4, 2025 announcing the beginning of what appears to be a lengthy process in deciding which, if any, sealed documents should be released to the public.
"Stage I" addressed in this order require the parties to respond with their objections or non-objections to the potential release of 43 sealed documents dated from June 2, 2025 to July 24, 2025 within 14 days (or approximately August 18, 2025).
As the case of Idaho v. Kohberger was active for approximately 2.5 years with documents sealed from the beginning of the case on forward, we opine that this process could take many months before it is concluded.

In Episode 778, we note that the State of Idaho has filed a Response to the Media's four (4) filings of July 3, 2025 seeking to vacate the gag order.
In an "about face" to their position at the Change of Plea Hearing of July 2, 2025 when the State advised Judge Hippler they opposed the vacating of the non-dissemination order, the State now says it no longer opposes the lifting of the same. However, at this time, the gag order remains in full force and effect.

As the Media however have now also filed documents seeking to unseal documents that have been sealed from the public in this case, might the issue of the many documents that continue to remain under seal even after Mr. Kohberger pled guilty to all counts against him be raised? We give opinions as to what we anticipate may happen at tomorrow's hearing.

The first is a defense motion to reduct or seal "Motion to Seal Defendant's motion for access and objection to Court Order." A second document is entitled "Motion for Access and Fair Investigation." A third document is entitled "Objection to Release of privileged and confidential work product."

In Episode 709, we observe that Judge Steven J. Hippler has granted the State of Idaho's Motion to Seal its Responses in Objection to the Defense's Offers of Proof of Alternate Perpetrators as well as all Evidence and Exhibits thereto.
As the Defense's filing regarding this matter is also under seal, the public is unaware of how strong or weak the Defense's proffer is and also by operation of Judge Hippler's June 9, 2025 Court Order what the State has raised in the form of objections thereto.

In Episode 707, we note several compelling items appearing on the State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger Case Summary Page (at Pgs. 96-97) which is maintained by the Clerk of Court to document all key filings in the case.

In Episode 706, we note that on June 9, 2025, Judge Hippler in his capacity as "administrative judge" for Ada County rendered an Order entitled "Order Sealing Order" which is in our opinion confusing due to what appears to be a scrivener's error.
This filing appears to relate to a prior order rendered by Judge Hippler on June 5, 2025, which we addressed in a prior episode of this podcast here:

We note that Whitman County is home to Pullman where Mr. Kohberger was working as a graduate teaching assistant, studying during his first semester as a Ph.D. candidate and living at the time the crimes at 1122 King Road occurred.
We also raise the rhetorical question for discussion/educational purposes that given the sheer number of out-of-state witnesses the public has recently learned of: Is the 12 week time the Court has set aside for the bifurcated trial commencing August 11, 2025 too conservative of an estimate of just how much time will be needed to try this case?

The remaining two are scheduled out-of-state. Both pertain to the domestication of trial subpoenas for witnesses who are described as "material" to provide testimony at Mr. Kohberger's forthcoming trial.

In this our 700th Episode in the continuing podcast focusing on the court documents of Idaho v. Kohberger, we note that the PA Judge assigned to the issue of domestication of five defense subpoenas directed towards 5 persons who live or work in Monroe County, PA to appear at the trial in this action.
A hearing is scheduled to occur on this matter on June 30, 2025 in the same Monroe County courthouse Mr. Kohberger himself appeared in following his December 30, 2022 arrest in Monroe County, PA.

This Objection, along with an accompanying document seeking to file an overly-long motion (Defense's Motion was 40 pages long) are both public documents and should appear on the docket in the near future.
A hearing is scheduled to occur on Defense's Motion on June 18, 2025.

In Episode 698, we address one of the five trial subpoenas the Defense is seeking to domesticate in the Commonwealth of PA. It is directed toward a particular witness in PA at his place of business, described as a used auto sales organization. The rhetorical question for discussion questions of could this possibly be relative to Mr. Kohberger's purchase of his 2015 Hyundai Elantra is posed.

According to records out of the Nevada, the State of Idaho has initiated a proceeding to domesticate its trial subpoena to secure her appearance at the trial which is currently set to commence August 11, 2025 in Boise.

In Episode 696, we discuss the fact that a hearing will be held at the Monroe County, PA Courthouse on June 30, 2025 based on the Defense's seeking to secure the attendance at trial of five (5) Pennsylvania residents. To do so they must "domesticate" the Idaho trial subpoenas in Monroe County, PA - the same county where Mr. Kohberger was arrested in back on December 30, 2022.

In Episode 694, we address two court orders rendered by Judge Hippler granting the State of Idaho's motions to seal their response and supplemental response to the Defense's 23rd Request for Discovery. However, the Court makes it clear that these motions are until "a hearing can be held on the matter.'

In Episode 693, we note that, within a matter of hours, the State of Idaho filed 2 Responses to the Defense's 23rd Supplemental Discovery Request.
As the Defense's Request and the State's Responses are contained in exhibits not released to the public, it is unknown what the Defense was requesting and what the State responded to - twice on the afternoon of June 3, 2025 and the morning of June 4, 2025.

In Episode 691, we note that the State of Idaho on May 30, 2025 submitted a "stipulated" motion to seal the parties proposed jury instruction. As discussed in this episode, the language of the motion is different from other stipulated motions that have been filed throughout this case. We also address the fact that on June 2, 2025 Judge Hippler entered an order granting this proposed stipulated-to jury instruction submitted by the parties from public disclosure.

These are interrelated case filings: Two public documents concerning Defense's 23rd Supplemental Request for Discovery (Evidence), one of which seeks the entry of an Order sealing "Exhibit V" describing what Defense is seeking to be filed under Seal.
Also filed June 2, 2025 by Defense is the temporarily under seal Exhibit V, awaiting Judge Hippler's ruling on the matter.

In Episode 367, we note that while Judge Steven J. Hippler's pretrial and trial order does not state the July 30, 2025 voir dire (process of jury selection) in the high-profile capital case of Idaho v. Kohberger will be closed to the public, the Court rendered words to the effect at the May 15,. 2025 Final PreTrial Conference (i.e. a proclamation from the bench) that jury selection would be closed. However, the Court also at the Final PreTrial conference stated the the trial itself commencing August 11, 2025 would be open to the public and live-streamed.
No written order however has been rendered as of yet regarding either matter. Our prior content discussing the U.S. Supreme Court case governing voir dire is here:

In Episode 735, with jury selection and trial looming overhead, we revisit Judge Hippler's April 18, 2025 court-order directing the parties to devise "a narrative" explaining that Mr. Kohberger's name came to the attention of law enforcement, and nothing further.

In Episode 685, we note that while the Court did not order the parties to file jury instructions under seal in the October 9, 2025 pretrial and trial order, all jury instructions proposed by the Defense and the State have been filed under seal.

We opine here that the Defense appears to be attempting to "correcting the record" relative to a statement made by the State which was addressed in Episode 668 of this podcast series that Defense failed to identify which exhibits they intend to introduce at the Guilt vs. the Penalty phase of the forthcoming trial.

With time ticking away regarding the dates when prospective jurors must report to the courthouse to complete juror questions and return a second time for Voir Dire on July 30. 2025, we outline the many events that still must occur before Judge Hippler will be able to enter a written order as to whether the Defense's Motion should be granted or not.

In Episode 676, we note that in a rare filing by Jay Logsdon, Esq. on behalf of Mr. Kohberger, that Defense is seeking the entry of a court order to permit Mitigation Witnesses to View the Case in Chief/Guilt Phase Proceedings. This motion was filed on May 22, 2025 and points out that the Mitigation Witnesses would not be providing testimony during the Case in Chief/Guilt Phase.

We also address other forthcoming filings in anticipation of the June 18, 2025 hearing on this matter, the sole hearing that is currently set prior to Voir Dire (Jury Selection) which is scheduled to commence July 30, 2025.

In Episode 673, we note that on May 23, 2025 the Defense filed a Motion to Seal its Evidence and Exhibits in support of its Offer of Proof of Alternate Perpetrators (to Mr. Kohberger).
This filing was in compliance with Judge Hippler's directive at the May 15, 2025 Final PreTrial Conference that the Defense was to submit evidence in support of Mr. Kohberger's May 14, 2025 (under seal) submission of Offer of Proof of Alternate Perpetrators.

This Episode is in follow-up to Episode 671, which addressed the State of Idaho and Defense's May 22, 2025 Notices of Compliance regarding directives issued to both sides in the Court's May 15, 2025 Document and Records Hold Order.
In Episode 672, we note that one day later on May 23, 2025 the Latah County Prosecutor, William Thompson, Esq. filed a Supplemental Notice of Compliance regrading the May 15, 2025 Order. In it Mr. Thompson describes an "ex parte" letter sent to the Court of that date.

In Episode 671, we note that the State of idaho and Defense on May 22, 2025 publicly filed a Notice of Compliance of their compliance with the Court's May 15, 2025 Document and Records Hold Order.
We had previously anticipated the parties might file such a public notice to inform the Court, opposing counsel and the public that they had submitted information and documentation to the Court for an in camera review regarding the Court's concerns over possible violations of the non-dissemination order as directed by the May 15, 2025 orders.

In Episode 670, we provide our pure opinions as to an apparent lack of any updates from the Court to the public regarding the status of the proceeding for five days, as critical items concerning the case are pending. We further opine that to not see the docket or case summary page updated for this length of time appears to be an unusual event in the history of the case which has been proceeding since December 29, 2025.

In Episode 669, exactly one week after the Defense's May 20, 2025 Motion for a Continuance was filed, we discuss argument within that motion suggesting seeking of a continuance may be merely the tip of the iceberg of remedies that may be sought regarding prejudice suffered by Mr. Kohberger arising from negative pre-trial publicity.
Defense points out that in addition to the "leak" regarding the May 9, 2025 two-hour Dateline special on the case, there may be a second leak regarding a forthcoming book on the case and that the remedy of a continuance in and of itself may not be enough and that "all" of the state's evidence may need to be called into question.

In Episode 668, we discuss a document filed May 15, 2025 but which was not published on the docket until on or about May 23, 2025. It is State's Notice of Compliance with the Court's Pre-Trial and Trial Order requiring the parties to create a spreadsheet identifying trial exhibits and objections to the other side's proposed exhibits.
Here, the State refers to its objections to certain of the defense's exhibits . This was the first of two such filings by the State, the second of which, an amended Notice of Compliance, is dated May 22, 2023.

In Episode 667, we discuss the fact that three items related to the Idaho v. Kohberger state case was filed in the federal defamation case styled as Schofield v. Guillard, Cae No. 3:22-cv-00521-REP, which was bought by a University of Idaho professor alleging defamation against an internet sleuth/psychic Ashley Guillard alleging defamation.

In Episode 666. we note that Mr. Kohberger's court-ordered deadline to supplement his May 14, 2025 Offers of Proof RE: Alternate Perpetrators was May 23, 2025, but that the record (as of the time the docket was last updated on May 23, 2025) does not include evidence of what he may have submitted. A hearing on the matter remains pending on June 18, 2025 at 12:30 pm

Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent of the five first degree felonies he has been charged with until or unless he (1) pleads guilty or (2) is adjudicated guilty in a court of law.
In Episode 665, we note that the State of Idaho and the Defense filed a total of three (3) notices of compliance on May 22-23, 2025, per notations on the Case Summary Page. No details are provided what the parties were complying with in submitting these documents. Although all three were filed as a public record, none were released to the public as of May 23, 2025 -- the last date the Clerk updated the docket.

In Episode 663, we note that the Case Summary Page in Idaho v. Kohberger indicates that the Defense on May 22, 2025 filed a Motion to Permit Mitigation Witnesses to Be Present at Trial. Although it was filed as a public record, it was not released to the public as of May 23, 2025, the last date the Clerk updated said docket.

In Episode 663, we note that the Court on May 22, 2025 entered an Order on May 22, 2025, granting a Defense Motion to Seal Exhibit "F" to its 6th Supplemental Response to the State of Idaho's discovery request a few hours after that motion to seal another exhibit to discovery was filed (also on May 22, 2025). No reason appears showing how or why disclosure under the rule of court or statute authorizing sealing of documents from public disclosure has been met.
We opine here this follows a continuing trend established at the start of the case where the parties will file a document on the public docket serving or responding to discovery, but requesting that an exhibit (with the actual discovery requests or responses) to be filed under seal.
In Episode 662, we note that the defense on May 21, 2025 filed a motion to seal its objections to the Juror Questionnaires in anticipation of the upcoming Summer 2025 trial in Idaho v. Kohberger. One day later on May 22, 2025, the Court granted this motion thereby ordering Defense's objections to the juror questionnaires to be sealed from public disclosure.

In Episode 661, we note that the docketed May 22, 2025 Notice of Compliance (Amended) previously documented by the Clerk on the Case Summary Page is not a Notice of Compliance with the Court's May 15, 2025 Records Retention and Hold Order issued to Both Sides mandating information be submitted for in camera review within 7 days or on or before May 22, 2025. Instead, it is a Notice of Compliance regarding another matter altogether.

In Episode 660, we note multiple items that appear on the Case Summary Page maintained by the Clerk of Court on May 22, 2025, including the Defense's (under seal) objections to the Juror Questionnaire. We observe that the State of Idaho and the Defense were ordered to file proposed juror questionnaires and objections to the other side's proposed juror questionnaires under seal in the October 9, 2025 Pre-Trial and Trial Order.
We also note that several other items were filed on May 21-22, 2025 per the Case Summary Page including sealed minutes from the May 21, 2025 closed/sealed hearing RE: Discussion of Role of Victims.

In Episode 659, we not that on May 22, 2025, the Case Summary Page reflects the fact that one of the parties, identified by the Clerk, have filed a "Notice of Compliance" this date.
We opine that this may be in compliance with the May 15, 2025 Document and Records Hold Order which required both sides to submit certain information associated with a possible violation of the non-dissemination order under threat of sanctions to Judge Hippler for an in-camera review within seven (7) days.

In Episode 658, we note that the defense filed and the Court granted the defense's Motion to Exceed Page Limit (governed by a local rule of court) regarding the Defense's 40 page long Motion to Continue the trial of this matter. We address Mr. Kohberger's efforts to continue the summer trial in this capital case by previewing what the next steps will likely be.

In Episode 657, we note that on May 20, 2025, the Defense filed a Motion to Continue the Trial of this matter, citing to various constitutional grounds including Mr. Kohberger's 14th Amendment Due Process Privileges of a right to a fair trial.
Mr. Kohberger cites to substantial negative pretrial publicity arising from a May 9, 2025 Dateline NBC Special called "The Terrible Night on King Road" and also a forthcoming book about the case that is scheduled to be published by best selling author James Patterson.

In Episode 656, we note that 48 hours prior to the May 22, 2025 deadline where both sides have been ordered produce information to Judge Hippler concerning possible violations of the non-dissemination order the Court found had a negative impact on seating a fair and impartial jury, the Defense on May 20, 2025 filed a Motion to Continue. Given this timeframe, we ponder and proffer opinions that the defense motion may be a motion to adjourn the trial of this cause.

In Episode 655, we note that Judge Steven J. Hippler entered an order granting the Defense's May 14, 2025 Motion to Seal Offers of Proof RE: Alternate Perpetrators (to Mr. Kohberger).
We note that which the Court's Order was rendered and filed on the public docket on May 15, 2025, it took approximately five (5) days to appear on the docket - as it did on May 20, 2025.

In Episode 654, we note that as of this date May 19, 2025 no further written explanation is provided on the Case Summary Page or on the docket in Idaho v. Kohberger concerning a newly scheduled closed, sealed hearing that popped up on the Case Summary Page the date of the Final PreTrial Conference of May 15, 2025.

In Episode 653, we note that on May 14, 2025 the Defense filed a Second Motion to Seal its Proposed Jury Instructions and that the Court granted this relief in an order dated May 14, 2025.
No reason is given why Defense is filing a Second Set of Jury Instructions one month after its (First) Set were due - and had been previously filed under seal. We opine that while the Court continues to seal all jury instructions in this proceeding, no reference has been made by Judge Hippler or the parties that the Court's October 9, 2024 Pre-Trial/Trial Order did not require proposed jury instructions to be filed under seal.

In Episode 652, we provide our opinions relative to a May 14, 2025 Court Order Sealing a Motion to Seal Amended State Exhibit List, raising two separate questions which operate in our opinion to advance the "under seal" conundrum that has existed in this capital case from its inception on December 29, 2022.

In Episode 651, we note that four interrelated items now appear on the public docket in the capital case of Idaho v. Kohberger.
The first two items are State of Idaho filings of May 13, 2025 seeking to reclaim exhibits offered or admitted at the May 2023 Secret Grand Jury proceedings which resulted in an indictment returned against Mr. Kohberger. The second State filing requested that the list identifying the Grand Jury exhibits in the motion be filed under seal.
On May 14, 2025, Judge Steven J. Hippler entered orders granting both requests one day later thereby returning the original Grand Jury exhibits to the State and sealing the list identifying what the exhibits are.

In Episode 650, we note that the updated Case Summary Page maintained by the Ada County, Idaho Clerk of Court in the capital case styled as Idaho v. Kohberger reveals the scheduling of a closed, sealed hearing described as "Discussion Regarding Role of Victims".
A review of the Case Summary Page furthermore reveals the setting of a hearing on June 18, 2025 as well as the cancelling and vacating of a "mystery" hearing we previously noted on the Case Summary Page.

In Episode 649: we proffer opinions as to whether or not recent developments raising issues of whether the Court's Non-Dissemination Order was violated and the impact of the same result in a possible adjournment of the jury trial date current set to occur on August 11, 2025.
To view the stipulation for the non-dissemination order requested by lead counsel for both sides on January 3, 2023 and the non-dissemination order entered that date on that stipulation please watch our presentation published 5 days before the May 15, 2025 Orders discussed in this podcast episode were entered:

Hippler addressed the possibility of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate possible violation of the non-dissemination (a/k/a "gag" order) that has been in effect since January 3, 2023 during the May 15, 2025 Final Pre-Trial Conference.
The Court indicated that he would enter a written order directing the State of Idaho and Defense to maintain all applicable records concerning possible violations of said non-dissemination order, less than a week after alleged evidence from the case under seal was produced in the mass media.

In Episode 643, we note that on May 14, 2025 Judge Steven J. Hippler rendered an Amended Order Governing Courtroom Conduct which supersedes the the Order Governing Courtroom Conduct entered by him shortly after the venue change from Latah to Ada County occurred in September 2024.
We opine that not only does this Amended Order include much stronger language providing notice of potential contempt of court charges, trespassing charges, fines and even imprisonment to those who do not comply, but seems to include stronger warnings to the media - just days after mass media published what appears to be evidence that has long been under seal in this case.

In Episode 642, we note that on May 14, 2025 the Clerk of Court has updated the Case Summary Page in Idaho v. Kohberger with three new documents. Two are state filings concerning their exhibits, both of which were filed May 13, 2025.
One of these items dated May 14, 2025 is entitled "Notice of Compliance" which may be the Defense's Offers of Proof as to Alternate Perpetrators. Unfortunately, it does not state which party filed the document or what the Notice of Compliance is for, such as if the Defense has not complied with the Court's April 18, 2024 Court Order directing Mr. Kohberger to file his Offers of Proof by May 14, 2025. This is also a public record. It however does not appear on the public docket as of yet.

Here, we address the defense of Alternate/Alternative Perpetrators and that competent direct or circumstantial evidence must be produced per the Court's Order.

In Episode 640, we note that two items appeared on the public docket on May 13, 2025 regarding a proposed joint jury instruction Judge Hippler on April 18, 2025 ordered the parties to submit. The same concerned the tip that led law enforcement to investigate Mr. Kohberger. Said proposed jury instruction was filed under seal on May 9, 2025 according to the Case Summary Page.
The first item is a motion dated May 9, 2025 submitted by the State seeking a court order sealing said proposed jury instruction. The second item is the court order of May 12, 2025 granting this relief and thereby sealing this joint proposed jury instruction from the public domain.

In Episode 639, we note that two documents were filed on May 9, 2025 per the Case Summary Page. The first is a Motion to Redact or Seal the Jury Instruction submitted by the parties to the Court "Regarding the Tip Leading to Investigation of Mr. Kohberger," a public record which does not yet appear on the docket. The second item also filed on May 9, 2025 is the proposed jury instruction.
These items were proffered to comply with a court order that the parties submit a proposed jury instruction relative to the same.

In Episode 638, in light of recent negative publicity in the mass media, we look back upon evidence produced in support of Mr. Kohberger's January 30, 2024 Motion for Change of Venue from Latah County supported by expert witness testimony. Interestingly, two of the four experts who testified at the August 28, 2024 hearing on Mr. Kohberger's Change of Venue Motion discussed the possible negative impact of pretrial publicity on the residents of Ada County.

In Episode 635, we note that on May 7, 2025 a member of mainstream media began publicizing a "special event" concerning the Idaho v. Kohberger case showcasing what was publicized in part as materials in the hands of law enforcement and which was scheduled to air and did air on May 9, 2025. In Episode 636, we note that no new filings appear in the Idaho v. Kohberger official court records reflecting anything filed by either of the parties or by the Court addressing the same in a proceeding where the requested evidence and evidence against Mr. Kohberger has largely been under seal.

In Episode 635, an official document was released on the court docket on May 8, 2025. The public's interest however er in our opinion appears to be focused on the possible leaking of major evidence in the case just 82 days before jury selection and while a jury questionnaire will be administered. In this purely opinion piece proffered per the First Amendment, inquiries are raised over the possible impact of the same and what if any ramifications may follow - in a case where venue was already changed once due to pretrial publicity.

In Episode 634, we note that the Defense on May 5, 2025 filed a motion to seal its penalty phase lay witness list citing to a rule of court and statute while neglecting to mention that Judge Hippler had ordered this document to be filed under seal in the October 9, 2024 Pre-Trial and Trial Order.
Similarly, the Court's order granting this motion also cites to a rule of court and statute without making mention that the court ordered this document to be filed under seal in the first place approximately seven (7) months ago.

In Episode 632, we note that "internet sleuth" Ashley Guillard who lost on summary judgment two claims brought against her in federal court by University of Idaho Professor Patricia Schofield was denied access to sealed court records in Idaho v. Kohberger on the grounds she was a non-party and not entitled to file pleadings there.
We further note that Ms. Guillard is seeking a stay of proceedings in the federal lawsuit until after the Idaho v. Kohberger case is concluded on the grounds that she may be calling witnesses involved in this case and also requires access to sealed records.

In Episode 631, which is in follow-up to Episode 629 where we addressed the fact that Judge Hippler had rendered an order authorizing the Kohberger family to remain in the courtroom during Mr. Kohberger's trial irrespective of when they are called to the stand to testify on behalf of the State. As the Kohberger family are not in Idaho, any trial subpoena would likely need to be "domesticated" in the Commonwealth of PA where they are believed to reside.

In Episode 630, we review a court order entered on the docket on May 7, 2025 wherein Judge Hippler has granted the State's Motion for a Section 18-207 Examination of Mr. Kohberger following his recent diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder amongst others, but has denied the State's Motion for a "Personality Test."
The Court has also ordered that Defense Counsel - along with State's Counsel - may be present to witness the State's expert's examination (which State opposed) but must do so in a manner where counsel do not interrupt the examination.

In Episode 624, in follow-up to Episode 623, we provide further information that adds to the mystery why one of the parties on May 2, 2025 filed a Notice (per the Case Summary Page) of the Filing of a Penalty Phase Lay Witness List and a Request for Victim Impact Statements.
While the list of Penalty Phase Lay Witnesses was required to be filed by operation of the October 9, 2024 Pre-Trial and Trial Order under seal by May 5, 2025, that Order makes no mention at all of Victim Impact Statements.

In Episode 622, we note that on April 28, 2025, the Defense filed a Notice of Compliance announcing to the Court, opposing counsel and the public that it had complied with Judge Hippler's Oct. 9, 2025 PreTrial Order by producing information via hand-delivery to the State Defense's trial exhibits and a proposed trial exhibit list.
When this item first appeared on the Case Summary Page, there was some thought it might have been State's Notice of Compliance of producing court-ordered information to Judge Hippler for ex parte in camera review RE: State's calling of Kohberger family members as State trial witnesses. These materials were due to be submitted on or before April 25, 2025.

In Episode 618, we note that Judge Hippler on April 29, 2025 denied yet another Defense Motion to Strike the DP from consideration in the event of a conviction. This denial follows denials on a number of Defense motions to strike the DP rendered back in October 2024 as well as a recent motion in limine to strike the DP.
Here, the Defense sought an order striking the DP as a discovery sanction and for the Court to adopt other necessary procedures on due process and other grounds. In denying this motion, we opine it appears more likely than not that the DP will be on the table in the event of a conviction in any future penalty phase of the trial.

We also observe the fact that Judge Hippler stated here that the order granting the sealing of these documents are until such time that a hearing may be held on the matter.
As part of the good cause to seal these materials is to protect the privacy of a Defense psychology expert who may no longer be working on the case.

In Episode 615, we discuss Judge Steven J. Hippler's April 24, 2025 Court Order denying the Defense's Motion in Limine seeking to strike or limit the testimony of multiple of the State of Idaho's expert witnesses on the grounds of alleged discovery violations. All were denied by the Court.
Here we review one of the most hotly-contested in limine matters entertained by the Court at the "marathon" April 9, 2025 hearings concerning State's cell phone expert S.A. Nicholas Balance vs. Defense cell phone expert Sy Ray.
The court rejects what he at one point refers to as Mr. Ray's "complaining" and has found that Balance's disclosures comport with what Idaho law requires. Thus, he will be permitted to testify at trial with the Defense free to raise objections during the case-in-chief.

Two challenged State expert witnesses are Heather and Jared Barnhardt described as "Digital Experts" who were retained by law enforcement to analyze Mr. Kohberger's cellular phone and personal computer to determine "user behavior and actions." The Barnharts, who have been permitted to testify at trial by the Court, are expected to proffer trial testimony that "gaps in data may be consistent with 'cleaning up or using anti-forensic methods to clear evidence'" giving rise to a possible spoliation of evidence argument.

One such challenged witness, Agent Rob Hille who we learn was disclosed by the State to proffer his opinions that the infamous "Suspect Vehicle 1" addressed in filings dating back to the December 29, 2022 Affidavit of Probable Cause depicted in certain video surveillance at about the time of the crimes had no front license plate.
We provide our opinions that the State may be offering this expert's testimony as possible circumstantial evidence against Mr. Kohberger who's car was registered in Pennsylvania at the time of the crimes, a state unlike Idaho that did not require a front license plate.

In the portion of Judge Hippler's order concerning State expert witness Det. Darren Gilbertson who conducted "timed runs" to determine if one assailant could have committed the crimes in the timeframe alleged by the State, the Defense raises the issue that the house at 1122 King Road was no longer standing for them to conduct their own "time runs" in rebuttal. We opine as to whether the destruction of the house might possible work in favor of the State, of the Defense, or neither party here.

We note Judge Hippler has denied the defense's application for a pre-trial court order limiting or striking these witnesses, but finds that if defense feels any of them are testifying at trial outside of their disclosures that the defense is free to raise these issues at trial and that the Court will consider any such objections at trial.

In Episode 608, we address the fact that Judge Steven J. Hippler has ordered Mr. Kohberger to present any and all offers of proof of alternative perpetrators by the hard deadline of May 14, 2025 - three months before trial.
We ask the rhetorical question and provide opinions as to whether this requirement does or does not comply with the Supreme Court of Idaho case all involved (State of Idaho, Defense, and the Judge Hippler) agree State v. Meister, 148 Idaho 236, 220P.3d 1055 (2009) controls.
The Meister case involved a 2001 unaliving "for hire" case where the defendant's unaliving conviction rendered by a Latah County jury was thrown out because the district court refused to allow Mr. Meister to introduce evidence of an alternative perpetrator - at trial. Amongst other matters, the Idaho Supreme Court found that federal constitutional guarantees were at stake when a party is denied the opportunity to present such evidence at trial.

In Episode 607, we address the April 24, 2025 Order granting the Defense's Motion to Seal Defendant's Objections to the State's Requested Jury Instructions.
We note here that the Court's October 9, 2024 Order directing the parties to file their proposed Jury Instructions and Objections/Stipulations thereto did not require matters concerning jury instructions to be filed under seal. Both sides however did and the Court has ordered all jury instructions and objections thereto be be so filed under seal and thus kept out of the public domain.
Here, Judge Hippler cites to an administrative rule and a statute authorizing both to be exempt from public disclosure. We also address the differences between "filing" vs. "service" of legal documents.

The Court here rules that these experts will be permitted to testify. If however the Defense feels that any expert is speaking in a manner that is outside the scope of the State's disclosures at trial, the Court will deal with such objections at that time.
Here, Mr. Kohberger raises his eighth Amendment Privilege (cruel and unusual punishment). He also argues as a second issue that intense media scrutiny over his ASD diagnosis should also serve as the basis to strike the DP.
New information never-before-released to the public regarding D.M., B.F., Kaylee and Madison's activities at the 1122 King Road residence occurring just before the official timeline of the crimes of 4:07-4:20 a.m.. has led to confusion in our opinion regarding (1) the time Xana and Ethan returned to the residence and (2) the official timeline of the crimes, as most recently stated in the Court's April 18, 2025 Order on State's in limine motion regarding Mr. Kohberger's alibi defense.

In this ruling, the Court sets out several reasons why such a model used for demonstrative purposes only is relevant.
In this written order of April 18, 2025, the Court directed the State to turn over this model to Defense no later than the pretrial conference on May 15, 2025 so that it may be evaluated by its expert witness.

In Episode 583, we note that on April 18, 2025, Judge Steven J. Hippler rendered a written ruling denying the Defense's Motion in Limine # 9 Excluding Amazon Click Activity Evidence at Trial. Judge Hippler has rejected the Defense's arguments this evidence, which includes according to the Court alleged purchases of a K-Bar and Sheath, is out-of-context, incomplete and unfairly prejudicial and has ruled that "it should be up to the jury" as the trier of fact "to consider all the evidence and decide if the Defendant was the 'clicker.'"

In Episode 582, we note that on April 18, 2025, Judge Steven J. Hippler rendered a written ruling on the State of Idaho's Motion in Limine concerning the Defense's possibly submitting Offers of Proof that another person or person is/are responsible for the catastrophic events at 1122 King than Mr. Kohberger.

In Episode 581, we note that on April 18, 2025 Judge Steven J. Hippler issued an order on three (3) motions in limine - one by the State, 2 by the Defense - centering on the very long, very hotly contested issue of Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG). The parties advised the Court that neither side will introduce this matter to the jury at trial.
The Court granted the motions and directed to work together on two separate projects regarding this matter, effectively putting a period on the end of the IGG saga.

In Episode 580, we note that on April 18, 2025 Judge Steven J. Hippler issued an order denying the State of Idaho's In Limine (before trial) Motion to prevent Defense Counsel from declaring that the state is attempting to unalive their client in this capital case.
The Court has denied the State's motion, finding it as unnecessary and we provide our opinions why here.

In Episode 579, we note the first of two motions in limine that Judge Hippler has denied as "unnecessary" in a sweeping April 18, 2025 written order memorializing to writing multiple verbal rulings made at the April 9, 2025 hearings on the in limine motions. The subject of this Order is the Defense's Motion in Limine #1 concerning Inflammatory Evidence.

In Episode 578, we note that according to Judge Steven J. Hippler's Order of April 18, 2025, the Defense's motion to prevent the State from referring to Mr. Kohberger in two specific terms cited in the in limine motion has been granted.
The Court has found there to be no record evidence he was ever diagnosed with that the Court framed these terms to be medical conditions and that the State was not to refer to him by using these words or anything like them during the guilt phase (Case in Chief) of the upcoming trial before the jury.

In Episode 577, we note that on April 18, 2025 Judge Steven J. Hippler has demoralized multiple verbal rulings from Oral Argument on April 9, 2025 regarding multiple motions in limine.
Amongst them is that the Defense's Partial Alibi Defense based on expert witness Sy Ray's proposed testimony has been thrown out as non-compliant with Idaho law, however, the Defense may still provide an alibi defense if witness(es) are uncovered under certain conditions set forth in the Order.

In Episode 576, in follow-up to Episode 575, we note that on April 16, 2025, the Court entered two (2) orders sealing discovery upon two (2) defense motions filed April 15, 2025. However, we discuss the fact that Judge Hippler cites to different legal authority in granting these motions.

In Episode 574, we address two motions to seal discovery (evidence) both of which were filed on April 15, 2025. Both are defense motions. One does not give an explanation why the discovery response addressed in the motion meets the criteria of law to be sealed from public disclosure.
We provide pure opinions on the possible drastic precedent this case may be establishing concerning First Amendment jurisprudence in that all discovery requests and responses filed by both sides dating back to the beginning of the case have been filed under seal, with neither party ever moving to have any unsealed.

In Episode 573, we note that Judge Hippler on April 16, 2025 rendered orders granting motions for the parties' respective Trial Briefs to be filed under seal. However, the October 9, 2024 PreTrial and Trial Order entered by Judge Hippler did not state that these crucial filings were to be filed under seal, in yet the most recent examples of documents that are being withheld from the public in the high profile case.

In Episode 572, we note that Judge Hippler on April 16, 2025 rendered orders granting motions for the parties' respective proposed jury instructions under seal when the Court's Pretrial and Trial Order of October 9, 2024 did not direct these proposed jury instructions to be filed under seal.
Moreover, as jury instructions provide legal guidelines and where standard jury instructions are published on the Idaho Supreme Court's website, we provide our opinions as to why all proposed jury instructions from the State and Defense have been withheld from the public domain .

In Episode 571, we note that Judge Hippler on April 16, 2025 rendered a ruling on the State's Motion in Limine RE: Family members in the courtroom during Mr. Kohberger's trial. The court has ruled that in favor of the victim's family members being permitted to be present whether or not they are testifying at the case in chief based on Idaho statutory and constitutional law.
As to the concerning the Kohberger family being possibly called as witnesses by the State, the Court ordered the State to provide information for an in camera review who the family members are, the reason for calling them to testify and trial and why they could not be called "out of sequence" - i.e. early in the trial.

In Episode 570, we note that according to the Case Summary Page, four documents filed from March 11 through April 9, 2025 as official public records have not been released on the public docket in Idaho v. Kohberger as of the afternoon of April 16, 2025.
The four public records in question are three subpoenas and the Court Minutes from the April 9, 2025 Motions in Limine Oral Arguments held before Judge Hippler.

In Episode 569, we note that per the Case Summary Page maintained by the Clerk of Court, that the Defendant on April 15, 2025 filed additional exhibits containing their responses to the State of Idaho's discovery requests - under seal. We further opine that this is in continuation of a trend that occurred at the start of the case in January 2023 when the Defense and State have filed the substance of their discovery responses and requests under seal.

In Episode 568, we note that per the Case Summary Page maintained by the Clerk of Court, that the State of Idaho and the Defense have filed their proposed jury instructions and trial briefs under seal on April 14, 2025. Although certain related documents including the parties ' motions to seal are public records, they do not appear on the public docket as of April 15, 2025 - the last date that the docket was updated.

Please note that Episode 567 is in follow-up to the Court's Order described in Episode 565 of this continuing Idaho v. Kohberger podcast series.
Here we discuss the fact that the Defense has submitted a document signed and docketed on April 10, 2025 in apparent compliance with the Court's Order of April 14, 2025. This Order directed the Defense to submit a redacted filing that would be released to the public concerning a sealed other filing: The disclosure of Mr. Kohberger's testing results to the State in discovery.

In Episode 566 we note that, per the Case Summary Page in Idaho v. Kohberger, the April 16, 2025 closed and sealed hearings on the matter of the proposed jury questionnaires has been cancelled with no further details as to why or whether or when this hearing is being reset to.
This hearing was set to occur on April 16th back on October 9, 2024 in the Redacted Order Governing Further Criminal Proceeding and Notice of Trial Setting - a/k/a the Pretrial and Trial Order.
Adding to the mystery is the only item that is "redacted" in the October 9, 2024 Order that set this hearing is the issue of the date of when the jury questionnaires will be administered to the citizens of Ada County who will be summoned to serve as possible jurors in the case.

In Episode 565, we review Judge Hippler's Order of April 14, 2025 sealing the Defendant's Response to State's First Supplemental Request for Discovery per a Stipulation entered into by the parties. However, the Court also states that "The defendant shall provide the Court with redacted copies for public view that will not be sealed." In our opinion, this appears to be in tune with the Court's prior declarations that both sides were to cease filing matters under seal.

In Episode 564, we note that per the Defense's April 10, 2025 Response to State's First Supplemental Request for Discovery RE: Transfer of Test Materials that an agreement was reached to have Mr. Kohberger's psychologist Dr. Orr turn over testing results to the State's psychologist/expert. We learn that that was meant to comply with APA ethical guidelines rather than to file the documents even under seal with the Court.

In Episode 563, we observe two critical deadlines of April 14, 2025 of items to be filed with the Court regarding the upcoming jury trial of this matter in Idaho v. Kohberger: Proposed Jury Instructions and the State and the Defense's Trial Briefs.
We explain examples of possible jury instructions and also address what a Trial Brief is and what may be included in the State and Defense's Respective Trial Brief, and whether these items are possibly going to be filed under seal and therefore outside of the public domain.

In Episode 562, we note the Defense on April 8, 2025 submitted a Notice of Filing indicating that they would be hand-delivering to the Court an Exhibit, a video of the body cam footage of a traffic stop of Mr. Kohberger in Moscow on August 21, 2022 which has never been released to the public, in support of their objection to the State's Motion in Limine in anticipation of oral argument on April 9, 2025.
The State is seeking a pre-trial ruling authorizing the introduction of this traffic stop resulting in a citation for a seat belt violation to be introduced as evidence at trial.

In Episode 561, we address the fact that the State of Idaho and the Defense are required to file their trial lay witness lists on or before April 21, 2025.
Because however the parties have been ordered to file their respective lay witness lists for trial under seal therefore the names of the witnesses will be filed outside of the public realm. We address the fact that because of this order, it is likely the public will not know who the trial witnesses until after the trial commences on August 11, 2025 - many months after the disclosure of the trial witnesses.

In Episode 560, we note Defense's 7th Motion to Compel Discovery - based on their 22nd Supplemental Discovery Request - filed March 6, 2025 and asking for a one hour hearing and the opportunity to present evidence remains outstanding. This discovery request dates back to January 2025.
We pose the rhetorical question of whether this matter has "fallen through the cracks" as it was never set for hearing with voir dire rapidly approaching.

In Episode 559, we address questions from listeners following up to a YouTube presentation addressing the forthcoming hearings on offers of proof regarding alternative perpetrators (to Mr. Kohberger) which per Judge Hippler would occur at or near the time of the May 15-16, 2025 Pre-Trial Conference.
The YouTube Presentation is here:

In Episode 558, we note that on April 8, 2025 the Defense filed its 4th Supplemental Response to the State's Discovery Request described as contained within an index in a contemporaneously filed "Exhibit D" referencing a January 25, 2025 protective order.
We also note that the Defense filed an April 8, 2025 Motion to Seal "Exhibit D" which Judge Hippler granted in an order dated April 10, 2025.
We observe that this filing of exhibits containing discovery requests/requests under seal follows a trend in the case where evidence requested and produced in discovery by both sides have by practice been filed under seal and therefore outside of the public domain.

In Episode 557, we note that an order sealing a document related to one of the most hotly-contested motions in limine RE: AT&T Timing Advance Records was entered by Judge Hippler on April 10, 2025.
This was one day after the hearings on all motions in limine occurred on April 9, 2025 and is based on a stipulation to seal an exhibit concerning the in limine motion RE: AT&T Timing Advance Records entered into by the State of Idaho and the Defense one day before the hearings on April 8, 2025.

n Episode 548, we note that per the calendar, the hearings on multiple motions in limine are days away. The stakes could not be higher for both sides depending on how Judge Hippler rules on these in limine motions as most deal with evidence the State will be permitted to introduce at trial.
The State's motion in limine regarding the alibi defense is rather unique due to the relief the State is seeking. They have argued Mr. Kohberger failed to fulfill his requirements for raising an alibi defense and they want the court to effectively strike it or in the alternative rule that Mr. Kohberger be ordered to take the stand in support of his alibi defense at the rapidly approaching summer trial in this case.

In Episode 528, we address the State of Idaho's March 21, 2025 Reply to the Defense's Response in Opposition to State's Motion in Limine Regarding Immediate Family Members (of the Victims) rights to be present in the Courtroom at Trial.
As there is no dispute concerning the State's Request, the State asks for an immediate ruling on the matter from Judge Hippler.
In responding to Mr. Kohberger's request to also have his immediate family members present at trial, the State objects on the grounds that while the Sixth Amendment guarantees Mr. Kohberger to the right to a public trial, he does not have the right to dictate which members of the public may be in the Courtroom. The State then discloses that the State may be including members of the Kohberger family on their trial witness list, which is due April 21, 2025, as further grounds to deny the Defense's request in this regard.

In Episode 464, we address Judge Steven J. Hippler's Feb. 28, 2025 order sealing all defense motions in limine and those motions in limine filed by the State on Feb. 24, 2025. No explanation is given why the State's Feb. 21, 2025 four (4) in limine motions were quickly released. The court's ruling raises questions about what part of the hearings on the motions in limine (set for April 9 and if necessary April 10, 2025) will be sealed/closed vs. open to the public.

In Episode 463, we address the State of Idaho's pending Feb. 21, 2025 Motion in Limine RE: Alibi defense, the State's burden of proving their case against Mr. Kohberger beyond a reasonable doubt and how an alibi defense may help raise reasonable doubt.
We also opine what the State is asserting in their motion defense appears to have failed to do in order to satisfy the governing statute on alibis, which may be read here: https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title19/T19CH5/SECT19-519/

In Episode 462, as matters continue approaching the July 30, 2025 voir dire (process of jury selection) we address our listeners inquiries into the next confirmed hearing dates.
Although two April 2025 hearing dates appear on the Case Summary Page, Judge Hippler has in actuality set aside three dates in April 2025 for oral argument on pre-trial matters. We discuss what is confirmed as of the present time as to whether these hearings are open to the public, are closed/sealed, and/or are partially closed/sealed and partially open.

We also note that the four subpoenas issued as public documents back on Feb. 12, 2025 also have not yet been released to the public.

In Episode 459, we note that a sealed motion in limine was filed on Feb. 24, 2025 regarding the 911 call that, per the Dec. 29, 2022 Affidavit of Probable Cause.
We address the fact that unlike other high profile criminal cases, neither this 911 call or any portion of it has ever been released to the public and also address the issue of the "8 hour gap." This is a reference to the fact that the Affidavit of Probable Cause indicates that the crimes occurred approximately between 4:00 and 4:25 am but that Moscow Police Department did not arrive until minutes before noon. In between these two points, came the aforementioned 911 call which is now the subject of a sealed in limine motion .

We note that certain of these items are public records which have not yet been published on the public docket while others are filed under seal. Accordingly, we anticipate there will be a large document drop in the coming days relative to the public records filed on February 24, 2025.

In Episode 456, we review the State of Idaho's Feb. 21, 2025 Motion in Limine RE; Neuropsycholical and Psychiatric Evidence. Here, the State refers to defense expert witnesses identified in the (under seal) Defense Exhibits D-7 and D-13 and seeks to prohibit the Defense from offering expert testimony going to neuropsychological evaluation and psychiatric evaluation of the Defendant, also under seal.
We observe that per the Court's Oct 9, 2024 pretrial and trial order, these experts were disclosed for the "guilt" a/k/a "case in chief" phase of the trial (not penalty in the event of a conviction).

In Episode 455, we address a seemingly "bland" Feb. 24, 2025 defense motion for permission to submit a motion in limine exceeding a local rule's 10 page limit.
It is only upon review of the motion itself, which was granted by Judge Hippler in an order on this motion, that the public learns defense is seeking to in limine prevent the State from introducing at trial what Defense refers to as improperly disclosed descriptions of "touch" vs. "contact" DNA on the sheath as testified to by Rylene Nolan an official with the Idaho State Police Forensics Lab.
We also note this motion seeks to exceed the 10 page limit for the defense to argue why references to "bushy eyebrows" should also be excluded from the jury trial in this matter.

In Episode 454, we note that the State of Idaho's February 21, 2025 Motion in Limine seeking a court order to exclude defense presentation of evidence regarding any alternate suspect theories.

In Episode 451, we note that the four (4) public subpoenas that appeared as filed on Feb. 12, 2025 on the Case Summary Page still have not appeared on the public docket.
We proffer opinions concerning the apparent lack of timeliness in releasing these public records in a case which has had an airtight non-dissemination (a/k/a "gag" order) in one version or another in place since nearly the beginning of the proceedings along with a large number of filings under seal also since nearly the beginning of the case.

Did the Defense possibly miss out on an opportunity to possibly win the IGG suppression motion for not taking note of the Court's concerns about "standing" regarding the IGG testing?

In Episode 447, we note that with the deadlines for submission of Motions in Limine coming up on Feb. 24, 2025, that the public has now learned "the" key piece of evidence in the case against Mr. Kohberger - DNA allegedly extracted from the sheath found at the crime scene - traveled from Moscow to the Idaho State Police Lab in Meridian. Thereafter it was personally taken by an unnamed official from the Moscow Police Dept. and Matthew Gamett from the ISP Lab from Boise to Othram Labs in Houston, TX - providing a potential fertile ground for "chain of custody" attacks than if this evidence had remained local to the crime scene.

In Episode 446, Dr. Leah Larkin who we learn has been privy to certain discovery as an expert for defense (She previously provided testimony at hearing on Defense's Motions to Compel) testifies at the January 23, 2025 hearing that certain databases were gone through that shouldn't have been while IGG testing was conducted Dr. Larkin provides further testimony on the IGG/DNA process on behalf of the Defense.
Dr. Larkin was the final witness of the day. The Court then addressed matters with counsel for both sides prior to opening up the day's hearings to the public. This provides fascinating insight into what happened in the courtroom during that closed sealed prior of the hearing on January 23-24, 2025

We address the fact that defense raises lack of "notice" in violation of due process, which Mr. Kohberger has done in the past including when he infamously alleged Judge John Judge in Latah County in Match 2023 entered the equivalent of a restraining order preventing Dr. Edelman from continuing conducting his survey in support of change of venue.

The defense takes no issue with the Court continuing to maintain the protection order relative to certain parties listed on the family tree, but says there is no reason for the remainder of the IGG materials related to the knife sheath purportedly found at the crime scene to remain under seal. Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent of these crimes until or unless he pleads guilty or is adjudicated guilty in a court of law.

We note that the State has once again filed its same mis-numbered five reasons to withhold this information from the public and file it under seal, suggesting in our opinion a possible "cut and paste" job from prior filings rather than raising reasons with specificity regarding the matter before the Court at the time of the filing of the State's two submissions here on 4/23/24.

In Page 16 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause we learn that on 12/23/22 the detective was granted a search warrant on Mr. Kohberger's cell phone to include a "Pen Register/Trap and Trace" to determine amongst other matters if he "stalked" any of the victims prior to the crimes. Records were returned per this search warrant also on 12/23/22 and were evaluated with the federal CAST special agent. Pg. 16 states they showed that the phone utilized cellular resources providing coverage to the area of 1122 King Road on 12 occasions prior to 11/13/22. Details on just one of these occasions are provided on Pg. 16 revealing it occurred during an 8/21/22 traffic stop of Mr. Kohberger approximately 1.7 miles from the crime scene in a commercial area.

Page 14 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause begins with what appears to be a typographical error in stating that Mr. Kohberger's cell phone's location was in "Uniontown, ID" and then traveled to his apartment in Pullman, WA during the early morning hours of 11/13/22. It appears the detective intended to state "Uniontown, WA" which, like Pullman, is located in Whitman County, WA. Pg. 14 also states that the phone utilized cellular services between 9:12 - 9:21 am which would also provide coverage to 1122 King Road in Moscow, but does not specify how close it was to the crime scene.

In Page 13 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we learn that an unnamed member of the FBI Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST) assisted with determining the locations of where Mr. Kohberger's cellular phone was from 11/12/22 through 11/13/22 per records returned pursuant to a warrant for this information from AT&T. These records included "historical cell site location information" (CSLI). It however excludes information from 2:47-4:48 am on 11/13/22 because the phone allegedly stopped reporting to the network during this time period. Pg. 13 includes a description of where this phone was alleged to have been after it began reporting back to the network at 4:48 am through approximately 5:26 am on 11/13/22.

We also learn that despite this lack of evidence, Pg. 12 includes the detective's opinions that said cellular phone may have been turned off to explain why it did not show up as being in the area of the crime scene. Pg. 12 also states that law enforcement obtained a search warrant to determine Mr. Kohberger's cell phone location between 11/12/22 at 12:00 am and 11/14/22 at 12:00 am.

Thereafter she went into a "frozen shock phase." Sometime before this, she stated, amongst other things, she thought she heard one of the victims from the third floor Kaylee say something to the effect of "there's someone here."

Please listen and join Kathy for a review of the case styled as State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger, Case No. 29-220002805. Mr. Kohberger, a doctoral candidate and teaching assistant at Washington State University in Pullman, was arrested on December 30, 2022. He was charged with the brutal quadruple slayings of four University of Idaho students and one count of burglary at an off-campus house located at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho on the strength of an Affidavit of Probable Cause signed by Detective Brett Payne of the Moscow Police Department. Kathy will give her opinions of this Affidavit, why she believes Mr. Kohberger should have not been arrested based on this document, and her concerns why this case has potentially established a dangerous precedent for all Americans. These are Kathy's opinions which she relates as a podcaster and citizen pursuant to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
