As long as BK remains in jail, it doesn't matter for the general public how long it takes for the trial to take place. Yes, I do feel for the families for this to drag out more, but BK is exactly where he belongs.. behind bars.
Pretty miserable in the circumstances he is in. It is a puny jail, ridiculously small so offers no normal typical jobs for the inmates who are long term. It sits in the basement of the courthouse.
I'm not surprised BK wasn't in a hurry to waive his speedy trial right because BK can't even have normal conversations with inmates. Can't interact in any way with them
in the common room like play cards, board game, discuss news, watch TV or movies and he even eats alone in his cell when other inmates have meals in the common room.
Kohberger is kept isolated from other inmates in one of 4 isolation cells. He has access to his own television with basic cable. That television is positioned just outside the bars of his cell where a guard controls the channels. The other inmates watch TV in a common room together where a guard controls the channels.
So no matter that he is socially awkward, even loner types need some human contact.
Kohberger is permitted to attend church services in a multipurpose room at the tiny jail. He is allowed to be in the room along with other inmates, but is not allowed to interact with them. .
Kohberger also has access to a tablet that has older movies that he can watch if he pays five cents per minute and can also pay to use the tablets to make video calls or access email. There is a phone with a headset for privacy on the wall down from his cell by a metal table.
The jail's library consists of reading books and a complete set of Idaho Code books and Federal Code books for legal research.There is an outside recreation yard walled off from onlookers.
"The danger to him is too great to put him in the population with the rest of the inmates," a former FBI agent said.
