Moscow, ID - a lawyer for Brian Kohberger, accused in the knife murders of 4 students in '22, has been sending questionnaires to local people who are potential jurors. She's asking them a bunch of questions on how much they've heard on the news about the murders. Supposedly, she's gathering info to get the trial moved to another county where people aren't as familiar with the events. Apparently, the questions are worded to put information in the heads of the readers. Not only did she not get the court's permission for the survey, there is also a gag order on the case. From reading the article, it sounds kind of like she's trying to force the judge to move the trial. The judge is very unhappy about it. KOHBERGER

She sounds like a one of those girls that marry the inmate on death row, eagerly trying to get as close as possible to him. Does client attorney privilege include fornication? How does a chief public defender even begin to work for the victim's family? I've never heard of public defenders represent anyone except defendants. It definitely seems that she is too excited about being involved in this case and needs to be removed because of the totality of her actions. https://www.change.org/p/ban-anne-t...an-kohberger-due-to-conflict-of-interesthttps://archive.is/GZlqO

Sounds like she's conducting voir dire outside of the court room. Hold her in contempt of court, throw her azz in jail for a week. Fųcking libretards love to circumvent the system.

I was thinking the same thing then turn her over to the Board of Bar Overseers for discipline reference. She is clearly attempting to taint the jury pool.
The way life should be.

Given jury pool dimensions, that would take a bunch of postage.

Change of Venue?
Where would they move the trial to? The Congo?
Maybe there is some little village in the upper Amazon where the residents did not eagerly read every development of this case as it occurred.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

My guess is they'd try to move it to Coeur d'Alene where there are a lot more liberals. They're against the death penalty.

She should be disbarred and jailed. Entirely unacceptable to sneak in a manipulative action like this.
100% make an example aggressively and swiftly.

UPDATE: A judge has allowed this lawyer to continue surveying potential jurors in the case. How can this be legal? He condemned the defense for doing it yet allowed it to continue. Idaho judge allows Bryan Kohberger’s jury pool survey to resume Idaho jury pool survey to resume after Latah County residents called police over questionnaire By Michael Ruiz Fox News Published April 23, 2024 10:14am EDT
Idaho judge in Bryan Kohberger case slams defense for possibly 'inculpatory' questionnaires
Idaho Judge John Judge on Thursday condemned the defense in the Bryan Kohberger murder case for distributing questionnaires that could be 'inculpatory' to Latah County residents.
The Idaho judge overseeing the murder case against student stabbings suspect Bryan Kohberger is allowing the defense to resume polling potential jurors after prosecutors claimed questions could have damaged the jury pool.
Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson argued that some of the questions in the survey violated a restrictive gag order on the case, which prevents the parties from making extrajudicial statements about facts – and in this case, rumors – that are not included in the public court record.
And the survey so alarmed county residents that they called police and Thompson's office to report it.
Judge John Judge found that two of the nine disputed questions were not part of the public record — however, after they were read in court, that changed.
"These questions have now been read into the public record and discussed at length, including the fact that these ‘media items’ may not be true," Judge wrote. "Because the information is now in the public record, the court does not see any benefit in preventing the defense from continuing its surveys or requiring that the two questions at issue be eliminated."
Judge also reminded the parties that the gag order is not a complete ban on speaking to the media and that Kohberger’s defense, led by Kootenai County Public Defender Anne Taylor, could have publicly addressed damaging rumors about her client.
"The nondissemination order also allows extrajudicial statements 'that a reasonable lawyer would believe is required to protect a client from the substantial undue prejudicial effect of recent publicity not initiated by the lawyer or the lawyer's client. Any such statement shall be limited to such information as is necessary to mitigate the recent adverse publicity,'" Judge wrote.
"Defense counsel argued at length that the two ‘media items’ not contained in the public record were the subject of extensive media coverage that was prejudicial to defendant and that the survey questions asking potential jurors if they had read, seen, or heard these ‘media items’ was necessary to support defendant's motion for change of venue, which is aimed at mitigating the effects of prejudicial pretrial publicity on defendant's right to a fair trial."
Taylor did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Kohberger is due back in court on June 27 for a hearing on his team's request to have the trial moved to a larger county.
The survey is part of the defense's effort to show that Latah County, with a population of about 40,000, has too small a jury pool to ensure the accused killer would receive a fair trial.
Kohberger, who was studying for a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University at the time of the stabbings, is accused of driving across the state line and massacring four University of Idaho undergrads in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack. The victims were Maddie Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, both 21, their housemate Xana Kernodle, 20, and her visiting boyfriend Ethan Chapin, also 20.
Kohberger faces four charges of first-degree murder and a felony burglary count.
Judge entered not guilty pleas on his behalf for all charges during an arraignment last year.
Kohberger could face the death penalty if convicted.
The defense is pushing for a change of venue to a larger county with more potential jurors in the jury pool, suggesting Ada, Bonneville and Bannock counties.
