Judge to Kohberger: "YOU'RE GOING TO TRIAL" | Defense Team's Desperate Moves FAIL in Court The Bryan Kohberger case took a dramatic turn on June 18, 2025, when Judge Steven Hippler delivered a crushing blow to the defense team's delay tactics. In this deep dive, we analyze the pivotal pretrial hearing that locked in the August 11 trial date for the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. We break down prosecutor Joshua Hurwit's explosive "scorched earth" accusation against defense attorney Anne Taylor, who desperately sought to postpone the trial citing contaminated jury pools from NBC Dateline's leaked coverage. The leaked episode revealed sealed evidence including 23 connections to the victims' home, internet searches, and Amazon purchase histories that should never have gone public. Most shocking: the emergence of a DoorDash driver who claims she saw Kohberger at the murder scene at 3:59 AM - just minutes before the killings. This witness, struggling with PTSD from witnessing her husband's 2013 murder, could provide the prosecution's smoking gun or become the defense's greatest gift. We examine the sealed alternate perpetrator theory, Judge Hippler's demand for "actual evidence rather than just allegations," and why the defense's inability to propose alternative trial dates sealed their fate. Plus: what the 68 terabytes of digital evidence means for both sides. With jury selection beginning July 30 in Boise and livestreaming approved, this case is barreling toward a conclusion. Will the DoorDash witness's 13-minute window prove Kohberger's guilt or create reasonable doubt? #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #MoscowMurders #TrueCrime #CourtTV #JudgeHippler #DoorDashWitness #UniversityOfIdaho #CriminologyStudent #BreakingNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Big day in the Bryan Kohberger case: Judge Hipler will review motions including the defense's request to delay the trial and various evidence regarding the Idaho4 murder investigation. Don't miss our full breakdown and live coverage—subscribe now for the latest on this breaking true crime story. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime and in this case...live coverage of a big true crime story. STS Host Joel Waldman will be joined for analysis after the hearing with #BestGuest Attorney Tim Jansen who has been following the case. And let's remember the four college students who were murdered in Moscow, Idaho. The Idaho4 include Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Bryan Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University, faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary in connection with the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin—on November 13, 2022. The trial, initially set for June 2025, has been delayed to August 11, 2025, with jury selection beginning July 30. Defense attorney Anne Taylor argues that the extensive media coverage and the complexity of the case, including over 51 terabytes of evidence and more than 400 potential witnesses, necessitate more time to prepare. Prosecutors, led by Bill Thompson, contend that the defense has adequate resources and that the victims' families deserve timely justice. Judge Steven Hippler is expected to rule on several motions, including the possibility of a death penalty and the admissibility of evidence related to alternate suspects.⸻ #Support the show:All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast#BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #IdahoMurders #MoscowIdaho #TrueCrime #IdahoStudents #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeJunkie #JusticeForIdaho4 #BryanKohbergerTrial #stsnation #murdermystery #trial

Kohberger Hearing-RAW AUDIO Part 2: Defense Makes Last Stand Before August Trial Bryan Kohberger's murder trial for the Idaho student killings is set to proceed in August 2024 despite his defense team's desperate attempts to delay. Ada County Judge Steven Hippler heard arguments from defense attorney Anne Taylor, who claims Kohberger's constitutional rights are being violated due to insufficient time to review 68 terabytes of evidence. The case involves the November 2022 stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Taylor's team has identified 56 penalty phase witnesses and is investigating Kohberger's family history for potential red flags. The defense cited upcoming media coverage including a James Patterson book and Amazon Prime docuseries as obstacles to fair jury selection. Prosecutor Josh Hurwit argued against perpetual delays, noting that specialists have already completed their investigations without finding red flags. The closed-door portion of the hearing addressed Kohberger's alternate suspect evidence. This death penalty case continues to generate national attention as the August 11 trial date approaches.

​Bryan Kohberger, charged with the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to his defense attorney, Anne Taylor. Taylor argues that this diagnosis should exempt him from the death penalty, contending that ASD diminishes his culpability and that his behaviors, such as avoiding eye contact and repetitive movements, might be misinterpreted by jurors as signs of guilt or lack of remorse. She also highlights that Kohberger's ASD-related communication challenges hinder his ability to participate effectively in his defense.Legal experts, however, are skeptical of this argument's success. They note that while ASD can be considered a mitigating factor during sentencing, it does not typically preclude the application of the death penalty. In Idaho, the death penalty is applicable unless the defendant is intellectually disabled, a criterion distinct from ASD. Therefore, despite the defense's efforts, it is unlikely that Kohberger's ASD diagnosis will prevent prosecutors from seeking capital punishment in this case.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kohberger's team: Autism should negate Idaho death penalty.

Bryan Kohberger has asked to continue his August trial after much of the evidence the state has gathered in his case was leaked to "Dateline" and aired in a two-hour special. Judge Hippler and Kohberger's lawyers want to investigate the sources of the leak. Kohberger's lawyer, Anne Taylor, also said she simply needs more time to prepare for trial.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I'm pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from My Dog, which is the best-selling book of dog stories that we published last month. I learned a lot from these stories, including that dogs truly make us better versions of ourselves--and they also help us come out of our shells by introducing us to new people. They actually improve our lives, expanding our circle of friends and acting as our social directors. Sometimes, they dramatically change someone's life, as was the case for Anne Taylor, who talked about this in her story called “Unleashing Confidence.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Winning a jury bias argument typically involves demonstrating that the jury selection process was flawed in a way that unfairly prejudiced the jury against the defendant. Here are some factors that defense lawyers might consider and try to establish to win a jury bias argument:Prejudicial Statements or Behavior: If potential jurors made prejudicial statements during voir dire (the process of jury selection) or exhibited behavior indicating bias, the defense attorney could argue that these jurors should have been dismissed for cause but were not.Media Exposure: If there was extensive media coverage of the case that may have biased the jury, the defense attorney might argue that the jurors were unable to set aside preconceived notions and render an impartial verdict.Improper Questioning by Prosecution: If the prosecution's questioning during voir dire was leading or unfairly suggestive, the defense attorney could argue that this influenced the jury pool's perception and led to bias against the defendant.Exclusion of Potentially Favorable Jurors: If the judge excluded potential jurors who might have been sympathetic to the defense or who had relevant life experiences that could have helped them better understand the case, the defense attorney might argue that this biased the jury against the defendant.Inadequate Voir Dire Examination: If the defense attorney believes that the voir dire examination of potential jurors was inadequate and failed to uncover biases or prejudices, they could argue that this resulted in an unfair jury.Pattern of Exclusions: If there's evidence to suggest a pattern of excluding certain demographic groups or individuals with particular characteristics from the jury, the defense attorney might argue that this systematic exclusion led to a biased jury.Judicial Error: If the judge made errors during jury selection or failed to adequately address concerns raised by the defense about potential biases, the defense attorney could argue that these judicial errors resulted in a biased jury.Ineffective Assistance of Counsel: In extreme cases where the defense attorney's performance during jury selection was deficient and resulted in a biased jury, the defendant might argue that they did not receive effective assistance of counsel, which violated their constitutional rights.To win a jury bias argument, the defense attorney would need to present evidence and arguments demonstrating one or more of these factors and persuade the judge that the defendant's right to a fair trial was compromised.Anne Taylor, the lawyer for Bryan Kohberger, continues to try to pull a rabbit out of her hat for her client by attacking the processs itself and looking for any loophole or technicality that might help Kohberger skate.   Unfortunately for Kohberger, all of those attempts have been slapped back by the court.   In this episode, we take a look at the newest claim made by Anne Taylor and this time it has to do with jury bias.(commercial at 6:51)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger's Attorney Discovers Troubling Sign for Trial (newsweek.com)

Bryan Kohberger had a hearing on April 9th, 2025 to go over Motions in Limine. What was first thought to be a 2 day affair, was completed in 1 day because Judge Hippler runs a tight ship! The Defense and Prosecution were able to go over 25 Motions. Some were decided on the stand, others were taken under advisement. The most intense part of the hearing focused on a dispute over AT&T records.The Defense Attorney, Anne Taylor, made accusations about the Prosecution withholding evidence, leading to a strong rebuke from the judge. Judge Hipper reminded Anne Taylor that she is an "Officer of the Court" and that when he took on this case he doesn't want theatrics or accusations that aren't supported evidence about supposed bad conducts.He said that he respects all of the attorneys and the types of accusations made can get a person disbarred!

​Bryan Kohberger, charged with the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to his defense attorney, Anne Taylor. Taylor argues that this diagnosis should exempt him from the death penalty, contending that ASD diminishes his culpability and that his behaviors, such as avoiding eye contact and repetitive movements, might be misinterpreted by jurors as signs of guilt or lack of remorse. She also highlights that Kohberger's ASD-related communication challenges hinder his ability to participate effectively in his defense.Legal experts, however, are skeptical of this argument's success. They note that while ASD can be considered a mitigating factor during sentencing, it does not typically preclude the application of the death penalty. In Idaho, the death penalty is applicable unless the defendant is intellectually disabled, a criterion distinct from ASD. Therefore, despite the defense's efforts, it is unlikely that Kohberger's ASD diagnosis will prevent prosecutors from seeking capital punishment in this case.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kohberger's team: Autism should negate Idaho death penalty.

​Bryan Kohberger's defense team has intensified efforts to prevent the imposition of the death penalty in his upcoming trial for the alleged murders of four University of Idaho students. Recent legal maneuvers include motions to prohibit the use of potentially prejudicial terms such as "murder," "psychopath," and "sociopath" during the trial, as well as references to "bushy eyebrows," which a surviving roommate used to describe the intruder. The defense argues that such language could bias the jury against Kohberger. Additionally, they seek to limit the display of crime scene photographs to avoid inflaming jurors' emotions.In a separate motion, Kohberger's attorney, Anne Taylor, revealed that he has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She contends that this diagnosis should exempt him from the death penalty, asserting that ASD reduces his culpability and poses a risk of wrongful conviction due to potential misinterpretation of his behaviors by jurors. However, legal experts suggest that an autism diagnosis is unlikely to prevent the application of the death penalty, as current legal precedents do not consider ASD a barrier to such sentencing.source:Bryan Kohberger defense ramps up legal maneuvers in bid to avoid death row | Fox News

Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the man charged with the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students, have revealed that detectives found blood DNA from two unidentified males at the crime scene. The revelation, disclosed at a recent court hearing, hints at a possible legal defense strategy as the high-profile case moves toward trial. Inside the off-campus home on King Road where the killings occurred, investigators discovered an unknown male's blood DNA on a handrail. Another unidentified male's blood DNA was found on a glove located outside the house, according to Kohberger's lead defense attorney, Anne Taylor. At the center of the case, however, is a piece of evidence that prosecutors say directly links Kohberger to the crime: a knife sheath found in one of the victim's beds. Moscow police stated that DNA recovered from the sheath was matched to Kohberger. His defense team, however, argues that this was touch DNA rather than blood, disputing its strength as evidence. Taylor further alleged that detectives intentionally withheld the existence of the unidentified male DNA samples when presenting evidence to a magistrate judge for Kohberger's arrest warrant. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson confirmed the DNA samples were not uploaded to the FBI's national DNA database due to eligibility requirements, but he did not dispute Taylor's claim that this evidence was omitted from the initial warrant application. The defense contends that the omission undermines the state's probable cause for Kohberger's arrest, suggesting that it should disqualify certain evidence obtained through search warrants. However, Ada County District Judge Steven Hippler pushed back against this argument. “How does that, even if disclosed, preclude a finding of probable cause when there's a DNA match between the DNA on the sheath and Mr. Kohberger?” Hippler questioned during the hearing. “Isn't that probable cause every day and twice on Sunday?” Taylor responded that probable cause should not be considered in isolation, stating, “It's these other things that are withheld that create a context around it. … Do we want to have one thing with no context around it when there's this other context that really matters?” Kohberger's defense team is seeking a Franks hearing, a legal proceeding to challenge the validity of search warrants based on alleged omissions or falsehoods in warrant applications. While such hearings are rarely granted, Taylor's strategy suggests a broader effort to weaken the prosecution's case. Criminal defense attorney Edwina Elcox, who previously represented Lori Vallow Daybell, told the Idaho Statesman that Kohberger's defense will likely use the unidentified DNA evidence to “muddy the waters” at trial in an attempt to create reasonable doubt. “That evidence could be any variety of things: It could be something, or it could be a lot of things that are nothing,” Elcox said. “There's at least something to be made of it, and it's better than having nothing as a defense.” However, the biggest challenge for Kohberger's defense remains the knife sheath. Prosecutors argue that the presence of Kohberger's DNA on it—found at the scene where the four victims were stabbed—strongly supports his involvement. “That's the thing that squarely puts him there,” Elcox said. “The magnitude of that evidence to the state's case is critical, and cannot be understated.” Taylor maintains that no evidence directly connects Kohberger to the victims, emphasizing that police found no forensic links between him and the King Road home. “There's no blood in his car,” Taylor said at the hearing. “He wasn't connected to that house, to the people in the house.” Investigators, however, believe Kohberger returned to his Washington State University apartment after the attack, where police conducted a search. While they collected potential hair strands and other materials, FBI reports submitted by the defense indicate that no definitive connections were made between Kohberger and the victims. Hippler acknowledged that while additional unknown DNA at the scene could be relevant, it does not necessarily diminish probable cause against Kohberger. “There may be, as you say, other people that creates concern or issues about that need to be investigated further,” Hippler said. “But I'm not sure that that diminishes the probable cause for Mr. Kohberger if his DNA is found on a knife sheath found on or near the victim—who was stabbed with said alleged knife, that would have been in said alleged sheath.” With Kohberger's trial set for this summer, the defense faces a difficult task in explaining how the knife sheath, allegedly bearing his DNA, was found at the crime scene if he was not involved. “I mean, that's the ultimate question that will be before a jury,” Taylor admitted. Hippler responded pointedly: “If you're killed with a knife, that probably means a lot.” #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #UniversityOfIdaho #LegalNews #DNAEvidence #CrimeTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the man charged with the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students, have revealed that detectives found blood DNA from two unidentified males at the crime scene. The revelation, disclosed at a recent court hearing, hints at a possible legal defense strategy as the high-profile case moves toward trial. Inside the off-campus home on King Road where the killings occurred, investigators discovered an unknown male's blood DNA on a handrail. Another unidentified male's blood DNA was found on a glove located outside the house, according to Kohberger's lead defense attorney, Anne Taylor. At the center of the case, however, is a piece of evidence that prosecutors say directly links Kohberger to the crime: a knife sheath found in one of the victim's beds. Moscow police stated that DNA recovered from the sheath was matched to Kohberger. His defense team, however, argues that this was touch DNA rather than blood, disputing its strength as evidence. Taylor further alleged that detectives intentionally withheld the existence of the unidentified male DNA samples when presenting evidence to a magistrate judge for Kohberger's arrest warrant. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson confirmed the DNA samples were not uploaded to the FBI's national DNA database due to eligibility requirements, but he did not dispute Taylor's claim that this evidence was omitted from the initial warrant application.

A former defense attorney for Ted Bundy, John Henry Browne, has drawn intriguing parallels between the notorious serial killer's final actions and the charges against Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the University of Idaho student murders. Browne, who represented Bundy during his trial, pointed out striking similarities in the actions of both men, particularly in the context of state lines, the death penalty, and their method of execution. Browne noted that Bundy, after escaping from a Colorado prison, fled to Florida where he committed more murders, ultimately landing on death row. “Here's some guy who drives 10 miles from a state where there's no death penalty, [from] a state where there's an active mental health defense, to a state where there is no mental health defense, and the death penalty is very active,” Browne told Fox News Digital. “I think it's just fascinating to me. I don't know what to imply from it, but I know the facts are the facts.” Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, is facing charges in a state with the death penalty, despite being a resident of Washington, where capital punishment is not enforced. He is accused of crossing state lines from Washington to Idaho, a move Browne sees as eerily reminiscent of Bundy's own actions. Both men allegedly carried out their murders in similar circumstances, with Bundy entering the Chi Omega sorority house through a back door before dawn and attacking several sleeping women, and Kohberger allegedly doing the same at a college house. “Like Bundy's Florida State University Chi Omega sorority house rampage, Kohberger is accused of attacking four college students hours before sunrise, entering through a back door while at least some of the victims were sleeping,” Browne explained. Despite the striking similarities, Browne expressed uncertainty about the prosecution's theory regarding Kohberger's motive, which remains largely unknown. “I have no idea what the state's theory is about why Kohberger chose these people in this house to go kill and leave a knife [sheath] that has DNA on it,” he remarked. Browne suggested that the lack of clarity surrounding the motive would be of significant interest to the jury. While Bundy's case eventually became clearer as a struggle for power rather than sex, Browne noted that the motives in Kohberger's case are still unclear. “As the case became clearer and we're dealing with 30, 40, 50 or more deaths, the motives became pretty clear in Ted's case – that it was a power struggle, much more so than sex,” Browne said, adding that many of Bundy's victims were not sexually assaulted. The defense team for Kohberger, led by attorneys Anne Taylor, Jay Logsdon, and Elisa Massoth, has spent over a year aggressively challenging the case against him. This includes filing motions to strike the death penalty, which was rejected by Boise Judge Steven Hippler. Browne suggested that Kohberger's defense team should continue to fight aggressively. “If I were his lawyers, I would start playing offense – a lot,” he said. Browne also weighed in on Kohberger's defense strategy, suggesting that Kohberger may want to waive his right to a jury trial, a tactic that Bundy used in Utah, although it did not work in his favor. “You could waive the jury, and try the case to the judge,” Browne noted. However, he acknowledged that while the tactic could sometimes be beneficial, it would not be an easy decision in a high-profile case like Kohberger's, where potential jurors may already have preconceived notions. Kohberger is accused of the brutal murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, who were all fatally stabbed in the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022. The suspect's trial is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2025. As Kohberger's defense continues to unfold, Browne's insights into the case offer a unique perspective, drawing on his extensive experience with high-profile criminal cases, including his time representing Bundy. #TedBundy #BryanKohberger #UniversityOfIdahoMurders #CriminalDefense #DeathPenalty #LegalStrategy #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
