A DNA technique that prosecutors said first identified Bryan Kohberger as the suspect in the University of Idaho student homicides did not jeopardize the investigation, and its use by the FBI does not justify suppressing any evidence collected after that, the judge in the high-profile murder case ruled Wednesday.
In addition, the defense’s assertion that detectives lied or withheld information from a prior judge to obtain search warrants was unfounded and does not support holding a separate hearing to challenge that evidence, Idaho 4th District Judge Steven Hippler decided.
In spite of allegations otherwise from Kohberger’s attorneys, police did not violate their client’s constitutional rights during their investigation into the November 2022 student stabbing deaths, he wrote in his long-awaited court orders.
It is good the judge didn't fall for the defense's arguments.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/univers...ism-sociopath/An Idaho judge is warning attorneys to quit filing so many sealed documents in the murder case of a man accused in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students.
Bryan Kohberger's defense attorneys and prosecutors have made secrecy the norm rather than an exception, 4th District Judge Steven Hippler wrote in a court order on Monday.
Hippler's directive came as a flurry of new motions were filed ahead of the August trial, including a sealed defense motion to take the death penalty off the table that cited autism spectrum disorder.
A trial is expected to begin Aug. 11 and last for more than three months. The judge has said no one would be allowed into the courtroom but that the open portions of the trial would be livestreamed from the court's YouTube page.
I anticipate they will come up with numerous defense arguments.
Panicked conversations between two surviving roommates in the off-campus home where four University of Idaho students were murdered were revealed in newly released text messages, shedding more light on the timeline that prosecutors aim to lean on in their case against the suspect.
The exchange took place nearly eight hours before the roommates called 911 to report Kernodle unconscious at the residence.
“I’m freaking out,” one roommate, Dylan Mortensen, wrote to the other, Bethany Funke.
Mortensen and Funke, identified by their initials in the court documents, were texting about a masked man dressed in black in their house around the time police believe the victims were being murdered.Mortensen and Funke sent the following text messages to one another around 4:22 a.m.:
DM to BF: “No one is answering.”
DM to BF: “I’m really confused rn.”
BF to DM: “Ya dude wtf”
BF to DM: “Xana was wearing all black”
DM to BF: “I’m freaking out rn”Mortenson then tells Funke about seeing what looked like a man with a ski mask in the house.
Mortensen then said to Funke: “No it’s like a ski mask almost”
BF to DM: “Stfu”
DM to BF: “Like he had [something] over is for head and little nd mouth”
DM to BF: “I’m not kidding [I] am so freaked out”
BF to DM: “So am I”
Then, Funke tried to convince Mortensen to go to Funke’s room so they’d be together: “Run”https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/us/id...ipt/index.htmlBefore calling 911, Mortensen tried again to reach Goncalves and Mogen starting at 10:23 a.m., asking them if they are awake: “Ru up??”
A transcript of the surviving roommates’ 911 call made more than an hour after that was also released.
The transcript shows the chaos as Mortensen and Funke pass the phone between them answering the dispatcher in fragmented responses.
On the call they reported 20-year-old Kernodle unconscious, telling the dispatcher she had come home drunk the night before.
The roommates struggled to tell the dispatcher their address and phone number, then saying Kernodle is unresponsive and they “saw some man in their house last night.”
The transcript reveals the students’ unfinished thoughts and panic over finding Kernodle’s unconscious body.
They might have been, but I am not sure. Though I do not understand why they didn't call 911 sooner, we have to consider these are young college students. They likely were scared to death and not sure what was going on. And if they were impaired in anyway, that could also explain things.![]()
Oh yeah, they were all drunk. Reading those texts was upsetting.
Nic I think they either 1. passed out 2. so fucking scared they ran and hid and didnt move.
Remember there is fight, flight, freeze and fawn.
Ok now he says he was framed

An eerie selfie of a smiling Bryan Kohberger giving a thumbs-up, snapped just hours after four University of Idaho students were brutally slain, was revealed in newly released court documents.
The never-before-seen photo was among a slew of potential evidence unsealed on Wednesday ahead of the former PhD student’s trial that’s slated for August.
Wearing a white dress shirt buttoned up to the collar and what appear to be earbuds, he gives the camera a closed-mouth smile and a thumbs up.Prosecutors are hoping his bushy eyebrows, which are prominent in the photo, will help lead to a conviction.
In the court filing, they asked to show that one of the two surviving roommates in the house during the murders saw a man with what she described as “bushy eyebrows” wearing a ski mask.
Prosecutors said they would present the photo of Kohberger and let the jury decide whether or not he has bushy eyebrows.

He has Christian Bale American Psycho vibes going on in that picture.

I'm laughing at him demanding they ban 'bushy eyebrows'.Bryan Kohberger has made a shocking demand to restrict what the families of the four slain University of Idaho students can wear to his capital murder trial.
Among a trove of new court documents released Wednesday, the accused mass killer’s defense has asked the judge to ban any clothing featuring the photos of victims Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
The defense also wants to ban any clothing referring to ‘shooting Mr. Kohberger’ or about the firing squad.
‘Mr. Kohberger respectfully requests that the Court’s guidance outline proper Courtroom decorum which discourages spectators from wearing T-shirts (e.g. T-shirts with a picture of the victim on them and the words “In Memory of” or T-shirts about shooting Mr. Kohberger or about the passage of Idaho’s firing squad legislation), buttons or other apparel with words, photos or artwork that can be observed by the jurors since such conduct poses a coercive threat to the jury’s ability to remain impartial,’ the defense filing states.
‘In court proceedings in Latah County a family member of victim K.G. wore a t-shirt to court related to the passage of Idaho’s firing squad legislation.’
During a court hearing in August 2023, one of Goncalves’ family members was seen sporting a shirt that read: ‘Justice for Kaylee Idaho House Bill 186 Shots Fired.’
Kohberger’s defense attorneys argue this ‘must not be allowed in any future courtroom proceedings’ because ‘trials must be free from a coercive or intimidating atmosphere.’
This marks only the latest bizarre demand from the defense after they asked the judge to ban the terms 'murder', 'bushy eyebrows' and 'psychopath' from the trial.![]()
You have to hand it to his legal team...they are definitely creative. I don't see how they can possibly ban "murder" or "bushy eyebrows". I mean, he is charged with murder and he has some massively bushy eyebrows.![]()
