Description
State prosecutors raised concerns to a Latah County judge about a recent phone survey contracted by the defense team of Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of killing four University of Idaho students, and said it possibly compromised potential jurors.
The defense team for Kohberger hired a company to conduct a survey to gauge the potential jury pool in Latah County, Idaho, where the 2022 killings took place. They called 400 people living in the county and asked them what they knew or had heard about the case.
"Question: Have you read, seen or heard if police found a knife sheath on the bed next to one of the victims? Question: Have you read, seen or heard that DNA found on the knife sheath was later matched to Bryan Kohberger?" said Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson on April 4.
Four college students, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, were stabbed to death on Nov. 13, 2022, in Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger is charged with first-degree murder in their deaths.
