Here we discuss the Supreme Court's ruling today June 18, 2026 in Hunter v. United States regarding appellate waivers.

Everything here represents the pure opinion, commentary, speculation and rhetorical questions per the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which states:Amendment ICongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.It is codified within Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act, which provides that fair use of a work “for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use, scholarship, or research)” is not an infringement of copyright. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Here we provide pure opinions, comments, and speculation per the First Amendment while discussing a forthcoming US Supreme Court proceeding that could change the legal standard for those who wish to set aside plea deals revisiting the Supreme Court's 2019 precedent in Garza v. Idaho. A ruling on the SCOTUS case of Hunter v. US regarding appellate waivers could change the law making a Kohberger appeal a possibility (Note: there is no indication at the present time he intends to appeal his sentence, however, per the First Amendment we pose the rhetorical question of might this be a potential post-Hunter?)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, and speculation concerning events occurring in the Idaho4 Defamation case, a 2 count federal lawsuit alleging defamation of character by a University of Idaho (Moscow) History Professor against an on-line personality/content creator and psychic in the case styled as Rebecca Scofield v. Ashley Guillard. In addition to the $10M judgment Plaintiff Scofield received following jury trial, she has now been awarded $27,000 in attorney's fees. The matter is being appealed.

Idaho v. Kohberger was a high-profile, highly-sealed criminal case which proceeded in state court for over 2.5 years until July 2025 when Mr. Kohberger to the surprise of many agreed to plead guilty to all charges brought by a criminal indictment returned by an Idaho grand jury. In February 2026, EWU Media filed a public records lawsuit against the City of Moscow and the Moscow Police Department regarding the manner in which EWU's public records requests were handled and responded to.This is a current status of the case. Everything presented here represents the pure opinions and comments of the host for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching and/or research per Amend.

Here we provide pure opinions, comments, and speculation per the First Amendment concerning the current status of State of Idaho v Stacy J. Wondra, dealing with the tragic Michael Vaughn case. The court has granted a change of venue from Payette to Canyon County, however, Mr. Wondra will "stay put" in the Payette County jail through jury trial. We discuss the reasons why in this presentation based on pure opinions, speculations, and commentary per the First Amendment.

Idaho v. Kohberger was a high-profile, highly-sealed criminal case which proceeded in state court for over 2.5 years until July 2025 when Mr. Kohberger to the surprise of many agreed to plead guilty to all charges brought by a criminal indictment returned by an Idaho grand jury.

When he did so at change of plea hearing on July 2, 2025 in Judge Hippler's courtroom, he agreed to waive all appellate rights. At the present time, a case concerning the scope of "unwaivable" appellate rights is before SCOTUS called Hunter v. US which asks SCOTUS to consider a 2019 case called Garza v US - discussed by Judge Hippler in Mr. Kohberger's case - and determine what exactly are the grounds where a defendant may still appeal.
