Idaho Student Murders: "Kohberger's Seeks Trial Move" #Kohberger #Idahostudentmurders #LatahCounty Ahead of a hearing next month, attorneys for Idaho student homicides suspect Bryan Kohberger have labeled his prospects at a fair trial in Moscow both an “extreme case” and “utterly corrupted” in seeking a venue change to Boise for his upcoming trial. In a court filing made public Tuesday afternoon, Kohberger’s public defenders argued that their client’s constitutional right to an impartial jury will be infringed upon without moving the trial out of Latah County, where the crime occurred. In their legal brief, which runs 300-plus pages long, they cited as further justification the “extensive publicity that is ongoing and inflammatory,” including the dissemination of inaccurate information in the news and on social media that would also be inadmissible at trial. “The publicity has been extremely pervasive in the small community of Latah County,” wrote Anne Taylor, Kohberger’s lead public defender. “Remediations, such as enlarging the jury pool, will not cure the problem.” Ada County, the state’s largest county with more than 500,000 residents and home to the capital, Boise, has “more than 10 times as many potential jurors than Latah County,” and gives Kohberger the best chance at an impartial jury, the filing read.

(upbeat music) - Hello everyone, and welcome to Police Off the Cuff Real Crime Stories. I'm your host, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27 year veteran of the NYPD. You know, with the Idaho four case and the Coburger case and everyone, of course, is so concerned, the defense and the judge, judge, John Judge of Brian Coburger, getting a fair trial. And just this weekend, it's been mentioned before, a change of venue is requested for the case to be tried in Boise, Idaho, not in Lata County, which is, of course, a Moscow Idaho where the crimes took place. There are many reasons for this, but the reasons being mentioned, of course, is on behalf of the defendant, Brian Coburger. And some of the reasons raised were that everyone in Moscow, Idaho, everyone in Lata County believes that he's guilty. And he would be unable to get a fair trial. As you recall, several months ago, the defense conducted a survey to see how many people in Lata County felt that they could be a fair juror if they were chosen to be on the case of Brian Coburger. Now, the prosecution, of course, objected to this, but Judge John Judge gave the permission and they did, in fact, conducted that survey. Now, there's many questions we also have to ask, and we'll get into that a little bit later, but how about the families of the victims? How about the people of Moscow, Idaho, about will they get a fair prosecution when the defendant, Brian Coburger, who turned this town upside down, again, he's innocent, too proven guilty, this crime, let's put it that way, this crime turned this community upside down, this university upside down, lost probably a lot of future students because of this heinous act of violence that was conducted just off the campus of the University of Idaho. So those are some of the questions we also have to ask. So folks, hold onto your hats, hold onto your next door neighbor, hold onto your service dog, hold onto your coffee, your beer, your glass of wine, whatever you are, you're about to enter true crime. From a police perspective, you're about to enter the off-the-cuff zone, the police off the cuffs zone. (dramatic music) They asked me some common sense. Yes, sir, they have a car stop content and grant you by providing it. We still don't know before the trailer. (dramatic music) (dramatic music) Ahead of the hearing next month, attorneys for Idaho student homicide suspect, Brian Cobra have labeled his prospects at a fair trial in Moscow both an extreme case and utterly corrupted in seeking a venue change to Boise for his upcoming trial. In a court filing made public Tuesday afternoon, Cobra's public defenders argued that their client's constitutional right to an impartial jury will be infringed upon without moving the trial out of Laita County where the crime occurred. In their legal brief, which runs a 300 page plus long, they cited as further justification the extensive publicity that is ongoing and inflammatory, including the dissemination of inaccurate information in the news and on social media that would also be an admissible at trial. The publicity has been extremely pervasive in the small community of Laita County wrote Antela, Pope Cobra's lead public defender. Remediation such as enlarging the jury pool will not cure the problem. Ada County, the state's largest county of more than 500,000 residents and home to the capital Boise has more than 10 times as many potential jurors than Laita County and gives Cobra the best chance at an impartial jury of filing red. So I question, if that's their feelings, can Brian Coburger get a fair trial anywhere? This has been an international case, international, the murders of these four students, as you see them on the screen, Ethan Chapin, 20 years old, Madison Mogan, 21, Zana Knodl, 20, and Kaylee Gonzalez, 21 years old. There's no place on this earth that people haven't heard about the murders of the Idaho students. I don't think there is a single location that they could say, oh, we haven't heard about it. So will they get a fair trial anywhere? That's the question we have. Can this case be tried anywhere? And can, according to the defense, can Brian Coburger get a fair trial? One of the things that I realize, and I think many people realize, is the judge in this case, Judge John Judge, is going to bend over backwards, because this is a death penalty case. And in no way does he want to see too strict and not lenient enough to allow all the legal arguments from the defense. And I think that's why we're probably going to see a change of venue. - This is Brian Coburger. - The trial date is now finally set, but the battle to move his trial out of town. - If you deny a change of venue, Mr. Coburger's constitutional right to a fair trial is denied. - Still wages on. Now, in a new court filing, Brian Coburger's attorneys argue that Laitau County has been utterly corrupted by press coverage, making it one of those rare cases that requires a change in venue. Coburger is charged with the murders of Madison, Morgan, Kayla, Consolves, Zanna, Carnodal, and Ethan Chapin. Four University of Idaho students found fatally stabbed in their off-campus home in November of 2022. Prosecutors say the trial currently set for summer 2025 should stay in Laitau County, where the killings took place. - We at least owe the people Laitau County the attempt to see the jury here first. And not just relying on there's been a lot of publicity. There's been a lot of publicity everywhere. - But Coburger's attorneys argue that the Laitau County jury pool is prejudiced by extensive publicity that's ongoing and inflammatory. - Right now he's being held to have a trial in a county that believes that he is guilty. - The defense citing a survey they conducted finding 70% of locals have already formed a guilty opinion of Coburger, arguing the trial should be held in Idaho's largest county in Boise. But the state is pushing back. - It's not Moscow, it's not Laitau County, it's everywhere. So I don't think that a change of venue is gonna solve any of these problems. - Overnight an attorney for Kayleigh Gonzalez's family saying they believe it's a no-brainer to keep the case in Laitau County. - It would be an incredible hardship on all of the family and friends that are going to be attending us as well as the witnesses, the prosecution, the defense, everyone has to move the entire case six hours away. - All right, Loris, let's talk about the odds. What's the likelihood that this case-- - Oh, you know, I question also when we think about this case and I specifically think about these people that you're seeing. And not all of them are victims of that. You're seeing one other that was a roommate, but not a victim, correctly looking at this picture. And the change of venue requested, how about the families of these four students? How about the hardships? They lost their lives. That is the ultimate violation of your civil rights, someone murdering you, right? So should the convenience or this survey that the defense conducted, where they said 70% of the Laitau County population believes that Brian Coburger is guilty of these crimes? I wonder though, if they took a survey in another location, would they get the same results? On the screen is Antale, the defense attorney for Brian Coburger. Again, one of the things that we also must realize is that Brian Coburger, of course, is innocent and too proven guilty. However, because this is a death penalty case, the judge is going to, I think, err on the side of the defense. I think he's going to bend over backwards to be overly fair to the defense. And that is just a fact, a reality, because in a death penalty case, this judge, again, has to err on the side of the defense and not the prosecution. And so on to Boise, do we go? I'm not sure if that'll be the case. Let's play this from Crem to News. - The defense team for Brian Coburger is asking for his trial to be moved out of Laitau County. The accused quadruple killers attorneys say the atmosphere has been utterly corrupted and that he simply cannot get a fair trial there. Crem to Shannon Mouti is bringing you more to every story tonight, speaking with an Idaho legal expert about what it could take to move the trial. - The defense team says publicity for the case has not stopped since four students were killed in November 2022. They point to a community survey showing nearly all adults in Laitau County have heard of this case, but is that enough to move it? - Brian Coburger's defense team argues his trial must be moved due to, quote, pervasive inflammatory, often inaccurate and highly prejudicial publicity and a small jury pool. Former Attorney General Dave Leroy says it's not just about how well known a case is. - But the test here is Idaho Criminal Rule 21 and that is a test of an affair and impartial trial be had in Laitau County. - The defense surveyed Laitau County adults and said analysis showed most are biased and have misleading or false information about the case. The defense says case recognition in Laitau County is 98% with 70% already believing the defendant is guilty. They're asking Judge John Judge to consider Ada County. - But of course, the Coburger case has had a great deal of publicity here. There are a number of Idaho vandals who attended the University and followed the case very closely, so one cannot pretend that people in Ada County have not heard about the case. - Though Leroy says Ada County residents wouldn't be as close to the case or the crime scene. And as for how often venue changes are granted in Idaho. - It's not particularly common. - Leroy says of the tens of thousands of criminal cases in Idaho, a few hundred actually go to trial. - And among those, there are very, very few that have the degree of publicity or potential prejudice that call for a change of venue. - Similarly, high profile cases in Idaho against Lori Vallow-Daybell and husband Chad Daybell did have a venue change. In his ruling, Fremont County Judge Stephen Boyce called publicity in Eastern Idaho for judicial and sometimes inflammatory and also cited Ada County's larger jury pool and courthouse. - There is a change of-- - You know, I just hope that when Judge John Judge makes his decision on whether or not he should change the venue and have this case tried in Boise, Idaho, that he thinks of these people you're looking at on the screen right now, that he thinks about these four people known as the Idaho Four, Ethan Chapin, Madison Morgan, Zana Kanodel and Kay Lee Gonzalez. I think he must take into consideration their lives and what their family went through and what this community of Moscow, Idaho went through, the university, all these people. Before Judge John Judge makes this decision, I hope he weighs all those factors and everything about Judge John Judge says that he is a fair judge and that he will take into consideration all these things, but can they really not get a fair trial? Can buying Coburger really not get a fair trial in Laetar County and Moscow? That remains to be seen. My actual prediction is that this case will be moved to Boise because it's a death penalty case. I don't think he wants to take the risk that he could be reversed because of an improper legal decision. So, folks, this is police off the cuff real crime stories. I'm your host Bill Cannon. Thank you so much for tuning in. A few thoughts on the Brian Coburger case. Have a great day, everyone. Won't have a soul, just sayin' enough
