Taylor said the Court should not have issued an order that stopped the survey. It cost the defense two weeks of work. Judge said we wouldn't even be here today if there had been communication with the state about the questions. Taylor said she doesn't need their permission.


Judge is unhappy Taylor accused him of violating Kohberger's due process. The survey was a total shock to him. "This is a big deal, and I take it very, very seriously." Judge said he was surprised survey was being conducted "behind our backs."

Taylor said her team doesn't answer emails or calls about case. Easier to say nothing. Purpose of survey was to find out what people have read, seen or heard in the media. Questions were based on things that were already out in the public. Some of the info was untrue, she said.

Judge said it planted seeds, may have led people to look up things they had not heard about the case. Whole intent of non-dissemination order was to prevent things like this. Now the judge and Taylor are debating the timing of his emergency order on a late Friday.

Thompson told the judge the survey "may have" violated gag order on that Friday, and Judge put the survey on pause. Taylor said two additional counties need to be surveyed. Recommendation is SE Idaho county, Bannock or Bonneville, and the other county is Ada.

Kohberger’s attorney in legal hot water for polling potential jurors​

Anne Taylor, who is representing Kohberger in the slaying of four University of Idaho students in November of 2022, has accused the public of bias against her client after Latah County residents contacted the police to report a defense expert contacting them for a survey.

At issue is the that the defense hired Bryan Edelman, a social psychologist, to conduct the polling by surveying residents about media influence in the case. And in a written declaration, Edelman denied violating the gag order with his survey, stating none of his survey questions “included any information that was not widely reported and available in the public domain.”

Boise has more lodging, bigger airport, courthouse security, and a larger population, Taylor said. Thompson is responding. First off, there's no due process issue with the timing of the judge's order. Judge agrees, saying he followed the correct process.

Today's hearing is a lot of back and forth about that Friday ruling. Taylor is saying judge jumped as soon as prosecutor asked for an order. Then the survey issue pops up again, along with possible change of venue. Hope it's not too jumbled as I quickly type.
