Here we provide pure opinions, comments, and speculation per the First Amendment quoting and citing to it while discussing the lack of transparency in the long-closed criminal case of Idaho v. Kohberger and ask the rhetorical question of whether a possible future appeal might be the route to learning exactly what happened behind the scenes in the h ighly-sealed case? Also addressed in the Supreme Court's pending ruling in Hunter vs. United States dealing with appellate waivers.

The rhetorical question is also discussed raising pure opinions, comments and speculation as to whether this might change the legal climate should Mr. Kohberger the defendant in Idaho v. Kohberger seek at some point in future to challenge his appeal waiver set forth within his plea agreement. Note: There is no indication Mr. Kohberger has sought/will seek to challenge his plea deal as of the time of the recording of this presentation.

Here we provide pure opinions, comments, speculations and rhetorical questions addressing the Supreme Court case of Hunter v. United States, a Petition for Writ of Certiorari where a man who pled guilty sought to challenge his waiver of appeal rights. Hunter has been joined by a number of groups who have filed amicus briefs in the Supreme Court including one group's brief referenced by Justice Alito and defense counsel.

On March 3, 2026 SCOTUS entertained Hunter v. US, the first criminal appellate waiver proceeding heard by SCOTUS since 2019's Garza v. Idaho. The case seeks to expand the grounds to appeal when appellate rights are waived in guilty pleas to include on due process grounds citing to the Fifth Amend. U.S. Constitution which is made applicable to state proceedings such as that of Idaho v. Kohberger through the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause.

United States, a Petition for Writ of Certiorari where a man who pled guilty sought to challenge his waiver of appeal rights. Hunter has been joined by a number of groups who have filed amicus briefs in the Supreme Court. Here we provide opinions, comments, speculation and rhetorical questions discussing one amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to Consider that plea deals/waivers of appellate rights are unconstitutional and sometimes result in a situation of after parties sign a plea deal waiving appellate rights they learn the prosecutor who negotiated the "take it or leave it" deal withheld exculpatory evidence which should have reduced the charges.
