I don't know if Bill Thompson said it the wrong way the first time the second time he said BK did not stalk a "witness". I don't think he said victim the first time but he may have misspoken and corrected himself to say "witness".

Press conference used in presentation was to tell the media to look at the court record, Thompson says. Details were taken from PC and changed, Taylor says. Media sometime get its wrong, Edelman says, and it affects opinions. Doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Edelman is defending his use of the stalking question. He is open to continue doing the survey. Judge says the key concern is questions with untrue info. Public record is the case file. To add extra info creates a difficult situation for the Court.

Judge says this is a death penalty case, and each juror will probably be questioned individually during selection. Respondents could be people who like to talk on the phone to strangers. Others wouldn't even answer the call.

I don't want to stare into the abyss but what is BK thinking while this hearing is dragging on?

I see no duper's delight but I wonder if it's there somewhere.

It's subtle, and he's trying to hide it, but it's there.

How long will the judge allow this to go on? Isn't it 6 pm in Idaho? Fascinating discussion of polling theory but sheesh.

Defense says the process needs to continue. Media has created a narrative, Kohberger allegedly made multiple trips from Pullman to Moscow, and the foundation is in the public record, attorney says. Valid survey has been used in many high profile cases.

Nothing that was done was worth the hysteria expressed in this courtroom, she says. Research methods are traditional and widely used. Purpose is to give Court information.

The man who created and issued a controversial juror survey given to the people of Latah County was front and center throughout the hearing. Bryan Edelman, Ph.D. said the survey he created is “standard practice” in a case like Bryan Kohberger’s while the state tore him apart, saying he’s "clearly emotional" and "angry."

Prosecutors slammed #BryanKohberger’s defense team for issuing a juror survey to the people of #LatahCounty as his attorneys push for a change of venue. In a fiery statement to the judge, the state called the survey “half-baked” and the chaos surrounding it “willy nilly.”

Intent is not to poison the jury pool, attorney says. Latah County residents already know about the case, and the majority have formed an opinion that Kohberger is guilty. Police chief, coroner, search warrants and others put info in the public.

Team has the "privilege" of defending Kohberger, attorney says. We have to justify a venue change. Striking the 400 respondents from the jury pool doesn't solve the problem, she says. No case law supports that in Idaho code.

Defense firmly believes in BK's innocence.

Our defense team firmly believes in Mr. Kohberger's innocence, attorney says. There is absolutely nothing that gets risked if you change venue, she says. He has a right to a fair trial.

Thompson says gag order was initiated by the defense. State's position is that questions with untrue information should not be used in survey. State is trying to use common sense here. Defense seems to indicate it's OK to taint potential jurors to justify venue change.

Prosecutor says the solution is a new survey, with a new group of people, and take out the objectionable questions. This is a big case, and it needs to be done right, Thompson says.

Agree with the State.
Disagree with the Defense.

Poor strategy by the Defense.

In addition, BK can get a fair trial.

I’m curious about how they decide who to call. For example I don’t have a landline and my cell phone number is from a different state than where I live. My children are also on my plan and some of them have numbers from a completely different state. And one of them attends college in yet another state. (Thanks, Army!) Does this poll take into account only local phone numbers or do they somehow base it on billing address? How would my family members be characterized?
