​In State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger (Case No. CR01-24-31665), the defense filed a motion to preclude the death penalty and adopt other necessary procedures, alleging that the prosecution committed disclosure violations by providing an overwhelming volume of disorganized and unsearchable data, thereby hindering the defense's ability to prepare effectively. The defense argued that these alleged violations compromised Kohberger's rights to a fair trial, due process, and effective legal representation.

In response, the State asserted that it has complied with Idaho Criminal Rule 16 and its obligations under Brady v. Maryland, emphasizing that discovery materials were provided promptly and in the same format as received. The prosecution contended that the defense had not identified specific evidence that was improperly withheld or disclosed late, and therefore, there was no basis to preclude the death penalty as a sanction. The State requested that the court deny the defense's motion, affirming that Kohberger's due process rights have been upheld throughout the proceedings.
