'Conflict of interest' in Bryan Kohberger case leaves legal experts stunned

Anne Taylor, the chief of the Kootenai County public defender's office, began representing Kohberger, 28, after he was extradited to Idaho, where he is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary, earlier in January

[..]

Court records show Taylor filed an attorney withdrawal notice in Kootenai County Court for Kernodle's mother, Cara Kernodle, on January 5—the same day Kohberger made an initial appearance in the Latah County courtroom. The substituted attorney, Christopher Schwartz, is listed as a "conflict public defender" in the court documents.

Since Taylor took over the public defender's office in 2017, her office has defended the parent in four cases, the Idaho Statesman reported.

NewsNation reported that in the most recent case, drug charges were filed against Cara Kernodle on November 19—less than a week after the murders took place. Taylor is now listed as an "inactive" attorney in the case.

[..]

According to the Statesman, Taylor's office has also represented another parent of a murder victim in four criminal cases since she became chief public defender. Taylor is named as an "inactive" attorney in two of those cases, the newspaper reported.

Legal experts say the details raise questions about possible conflicts of interest in what has become an extremely high-profile case. Newsweek has attempted to contact the Kernodle family through its new attorney and Taylor's office for comment.

"The mere fact that the public defender was forced to make a decision about which client to represent reflects a potential issue of competing loyalties," Michael McAuliffe, a former federal prosecutor and elected state attorney, told Newsweek.

(NewsNation) — Cara Northington is facing the harsh reality that the person she trusted most has now dropped her case — to represent the accused killer of her daughter Xana Kernodle.

The court-appointed defense attorney for Kohberger previously represented Northington before switching to take his case, according to court records.

Anne Taylor, chief of the Kootenai County Public Defender’s Office, withdrew from Northington’s case Jan. 5, the same day Kohberger made his first court appearance in Moscow, Idaho. Since Taylor took over the public defender’s office in 2017, her office has defended Northington in four cases, the Idaho Statesman reported.

In the most recent case, drug charges were filed against Northington on Nov. 19, six days after her daughter and three others were found dead inside an off-campus rental home. Kernodle, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves and Ethan Chapin were all stabbed to death in the early morning hours of Nov. 13.

Taylor is now listed an as “inactive attorney” in Northington’s felony drug case. She is also listed as an inactive attorney in a 2017 misdemeanor case that has since been adjudicated. NewsNation is reporting the charges to establish the connection between Taylor and the victims.

Idaho authorities have alleged that Bryan Kohberger’s cellphone records showed he was in the Moscow area less than an hour after four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in an off-campus house — and that he visited the “coverage area” of the home 12 times before the homicides.

But telecommunications expert and former electrical engineer Ben Levitan, who has analyzed cellphone data for the well-known Adnan Syed case featured in the “Serial” podcast, told the Idaho Statesman that while cellphone records can provide someone’s estimated location, they can’t pinpoint an individual’s exact location.

[..]

The Statesman spoke with Levitan to ask about law enforcement agencies’ use of cellphone records in a criminal investigation.

In the affidavit, the Moscow Police Department alleged that Kohbeger used his cellphone in the “coverage area” of the King Road home at least 12 times before the November stabbings.

But Levitan said a typical cellphone tower covers an area of 12 square miles. Someone could be miles away from the nearest cell tower, and Moscow is a roughly 3-by-5-mile town.

“You cannot pinpoint a person,” Levitan said about cellphone records. “There’s no chance any expert in the world can tell you where that person is located.”

[..]

Levitan added that the nearest cell tower to the King Road home covers an area of 27.3 square miles — the same size as nearly 14,000 football fields.

Levitan said authorities could definitely use cellphone records to tell whether a person is traveling if the individual is using their phone because as someone moves throughout an area, the cellphone transfers from one cell tower to the next as it goes into the next cell range.

[..]

Levitan said cellphone records are completely reliable, but that authorities tend to overplay them. He added that cellphone records could help exclude suspects by showing they weren’t within a tower’s coverage area. But, Levitan said, when someone does show up in the coverage area of a cellphone tower, it doesn’t mean they were at the scene of the crime.
