In Episode 400, we review the parties Jan. 28, 2025 Stipulated Motion to Extend deadline to File Motions in Limine which are set by the Court's Pre-Trial/Trial Order of Oct. 9, 2025. We note here the State/Defense seek to extend deadlines for the filing of both sides Motions in Limine and Responses in Opposition thereto by 2 weeks. Reasons provided as good cause include more time is needed to evaluate recent recent expert witness disclosures and that the defense requires additional time to review discovery - providing possible hints as to what these Motions in Limine might be focused on.

In Episode 398, we discuss filings noted on the Idaho v Kohberger Case Summary Page by the Clerk regarding the State's Expert Penalty Phase Disclosures filed Jan. 27, 2025. One of these filings is a stipulated motion to seal exhibits concerning State's proposed witnesses. We address the fact that there are two separate phases of a criminal proceeding. The penalty phase is only applicable if a jury returns a verdict during the State's case in chief.

In Episode 394, we discuss the Jan. 24, 2025 order sealing even further documents in this case: Order sealing exhibits to Defendant's Supplemental Response to Request for Discovery Regarding Expert Witnesses.

We note that this stipulation (agreement between the parties this material is properly sealed) follows a tradition established in the early days of this proceeding when the parties stipulated to a Non-Dissemination Order as they did on Jan. 3, 2023. This stipulation led to the entry of the "gag order" that same day.

In Episode 392, we discuss Judge Hippler's ruling of Jan 22, 2025 entitled "Order regarding presentation of IGG evidence" as it relates to evidence which will be undertaken during a closed hearing on Jan. 23, 2025.

The court clarifies that while he has authorized the taking of witness testimony in support of Mr. Kohberger's pending Motion to Suppress IGG (Evidence) and Motion for a Franks hearing (attacking warrant affidavit(s)) that this is not to be taken as the court's finding Defense satisfied the high burden required for a hearing per Franks v. Delaware.

In Episode 391, we discuss Judge Hippler's order denying the defense's Motion to Unseal IGG briefing and the hearing on the motion to suppress IGG evidence which is currently scheduled to be entertained by the Court along with Defense's 12 other suppression motions on Jan. 23-24, 2025.

Here Judge Hippler states that the matter of ensuring the jury pool is not tainted with evidence that might not be admissible in the case requires that matters concerning IGG remain under seal until the end of trial "at the latest" requiring denial of the defense motion to unseal.
