In Episode 360, we note that the Case Summary Page maintained by the Clerk of Court reflects that the State of Idaho filed an objection to the Defense's Motion to Compel and for Sanctions which alleged the State failed to provide expert disclosures in the manner required by Judge Hippler's Oct. 9, 2024 pretrial/trial order. We discuss the fact that this filing has not yet hit the public docket, that it came rather quickly following the defense's motion filed just 4 days earlier on Dec. 27, 2024. Mr. Kohberger is presumed innocent of these crimes until or unless he pleads guilty or is adjudicated guilty in a court of law.

We note that as with all prior discovery requests, the specific evidence defense is seeking from the State of Idaho is described in an attached exhibit filed under seal and therefore provides the public with no details regarding the same.

We also observe that a 21st supplemental discovery request is listed on the Case Summary Page which appears to be a defense filing.
