In Episode 223, we discuss the State of Idaho's 4/4/24 objections to defense's 15th supplemental discovery request seeking remaining IGG/DNA information. The State asserts the defense has made an improper discovery request as defense is effectively asking the State to turn over IGG/DNA information which was the subject of the Court's prior protection order. Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent of these crimes until or unless he pleads guilty or is adjudicated guilty in a court of law.

In Episode 219, we discuss the second of 2 items submitted on 3/29/24 by the State of Idaho, the Declaration of William Thompson, the Latah County prosecutor, detailing events leading up to the filing of State's motion on 3/22/24 seeking the order Judge John Judge entered that day prohibiting contact with prospective jurors. In this Declaration, we learn it came to Mr. Thompson's office's attention that Latah County residents had been contacted by phone and that the matter was referred to the Moscow Police Dept. for investigation.

In Episode 218, we evaluate one of two interrelated filings submitted by the State of Idaho the 3/29/24 in opposition to the defense's motion to rescind the 3/22/24 order prohibiting contact with prospective jurors. This first filing is a response opposing the defense's motion, arguing the order is proper, stating the defendant's due process privileges were not violated and also asserting he violated the Court's amended non-dissemination order. Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent of these crimes until or unless he pleads guilty or is adjudicated guilty in a court of law.

In Episode 217, we evaluate the 3/27/24 defense's 15th supplemental discovery request asking for items related to IGG discovery addressed in "Exhibit N." The defense states that Exhibit N, which relates to sealed IGG information (which is under a protective order forbidding release to anyone the Court has not specifically authorized) will not be attached to the filed discovery request. The defense further explains that Exhibit N will will be hand delivered to the State on 3/28/24 and then to the Court on 4/4/24.

In Episode 216, we address the defense's 3/26/24 Notice of Hearing setting Mr. Kohberger's 4th motion to compel discovery for hearing before Judge John Judge. We address the fact that he is requesting an opportunity to be heard, and that due process of law pursuant to the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires that a party be afforded notice, an opportunity to be heard and an impartial judiciary. Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent of these crimes until or unless he pleads guilty or is adjudicated guilty in a court of law.

In Episode 215, we address the defense's rather unique filing of 3/27/24. a 14th supplemental request for discovery where the evidence sought is described in "Exhibit N." A notation within the 14th supplemental discovery request states Exhibit N will be hand-delivered on 3/28/24 to opposing counsel and on 4/4/24 to Judge John Judge. Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent until or unless he pleads or is adjudicated guilty in a court of law. To review the documents from the Court's file, please go here: https://coi.isc.idaho.gov

In Episode 214, we discuss the State's 3/26/24 responses to the Defendant's 12th supplemental discovery request described in Exhibit 1 which does not appear on the public docket. We note here that the state's prior discovery responses referenced on page 2 of this 12th supplemental response were all filed under seal, thereby preventing the public from an understanding of what evidence has been requested by the defense (as all of their discovery requests were filed under seal) and then turned over by the State. Also filed on 3/26/24 was the State's motion to temporarily seal Exhibit 1 of the 12th supplemental discovery request giving the same 5 mis-numbered reasons repeatedly used by the state in prior filings. Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent of these crimes until or unless he pleads guilty or is adjudicated guilty in a court of law.
