In Episode 682, we discuss the fact that Judge Steven J. Hippler granted the Defense's Motion to Seal their Amended Phase II (Penalty/Sentencing) Phase Mitigation Witnesses and has ordered that said list be sealed from public disclosure. The episode directly relates to Episode 681 where we addressed that defense motion, now granted by the Court.

In Episode 681, we discuss the fact that on May 29, 2025, the Defense submitted their third court filing since May 22, 2025 dealing with Penalty Phase Mitigation Witnesses which would come into play in the event of a conviction.

In this third filing, the Defense is seeking an Order sealing their Amended Mitigation Witnesses for "Phase Two" which is the sentencing/penalty phase.

In Episode 680, we discuss the fact that the Defense on May 28, 2025 filed Defendant's Notice of Compliance regarding a matter addressed in the October 9, 2024 Order rendered by Judge Steven J. Hippler which directed the parties to file a joint spreadsheet with each side's objections to the other side's proposed exhibits.

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.

In Episode 679, we note that the State of Idaho's Response to the Defense's Motion to Continue the trial date filed and served 10 days ago has still not been published on the docket or noted on the Case Summary Page as of this date, May 29, 2025. We provide our pure opinions on the matter.

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 678, we review a May 27, 2025 court Order granting the Defense's May 23, 2025 motion to seal Defense's objection to the Court's request for the defense to submit a redacted form of an ex parte filing to the State of Idaho.

We opine that no details are provided in the Court Order or the Motion that would provide the public with notice of what Defense was ordered to turn over to the State and when this directive was rendered by Judge Hippler.

This Stipulation was filed on May 27, 2025 and operates to inform Judge Hippler that the State will not be filing an objection to the pending motion.

In Episode 672, we note that on May 28, 2025, Judge Hippler in his capacity as administrative judge for the Ada County state court rendered a ruling concerning the administration of the jury questionnaires, which in our opinion has been shrouded in mystery in this proceeding.
