POCATELLO — After nearly 20 years, the family of Nori Jones received justice Monday when Brad Scott Compher was convicted of felony first-degree murder for stabbing the 25-year-old to death inside her Pole Line Road home in September 2004.

It took just four hours for the 12-person jury, which included eight men and four women, to find Compher, 49, of Pocatello, guilty of killing Jones. His trial lasted 10 days, including a combined two and a half days that were spent selecting a jury and providing them with instructions as to handle the case.

Compher opted against taking the stand in his own defense. Throughout the trial he appeared impassive, raising his eyebrows a few times and occasionally looking up to a large television from which various pieces of evidence were shown. Compher appeared to be taking his own notes, folding a piece of legal paper into a square and placing it in his shirt pocket during breaks and recesses.

[...]

Because of the guilty verdict on the first-degree murder charge, prosecutors withdrew a weapons enhancement that Compher faced for using a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony crime.
Gabiola offered Compher a chance to speak about the guilty verdict, to which Compher said, “I can’t really talk right now.”

Compher was then remanded back into the custody of the Bannock County Jail in Pocatello where he will remain incarcerated until April 30 when he appears back in front of Gabiola to receive a sentence that at maximum will keep him behind bars for the remainder of his life.
