Idaho judge tells Bryan Kohberger to prepare for summer courtroom showdown after last-minute effort
Idaho Judge Steven Hippler indicated he likely won't delay August's trial in Bryan Kohberger's quadruple murder case, following a request from his defense attorney. Wednesday's hearing focused on two motions from Kohberger's defense team, one seeking to delay August's trial and another which sought to include evidence that they claim points to the existence of "alternate perpetrators." Kohberger is accused of killing Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20. Hippler declined to issue a ruling on Kohberger's request to delay the trial, but said "it's likely you're going to trial on the date indicated." "I fully encourage everyone to continue as if the trial is going to take place when it is scheduled for," Hippler said. Anne Taylor, Kohberger's lawyer, argued that a TV episode that aired on May 9 has the potential to taint the jury pool. "Jury selection is going to be particularly challenged and will need a great deal of time based on what's happened in the media and continues to happen," Taylor said. Joshua Hurwit, special deputy prosecutor, accused Kohberger's defense team of using a "scorched earth" strategy in this case. "The record supports denying the motion based on what the defense has been doing, continues to do, and will continue to do through the mitigation phase until, the penalty phase, including presenting mitigation evidence that the jury will, ultimately, decide about if there is a conviction," Hurwit said. Information shared during the "Dateline" episode included surveillance video from a neighboring house, which showed a car similar to Kohberger's in the King Road area several times before the four University of Idaho students were killed. The episode also claimed that FBI cellphone tower data showed that Kohberger's phone pinged nearly a dozen times near a tower that provides coverage to the area within 100 feet of 1122 King Road, where the four University of Idaho students were killed. The phone pinged near the tower starting in July 2022 and continued through mid-August 2022. In a May 15 order, Hippler said the gag order was "likely" violated by someone involved in the case, saying it's possible law enforcement was the source of the leak. He ordered anyone who has worked for the defense team or investigation to retain all communications and data relating to the case. Hippler said the following pieces of evidence were revealed during the episode: "Such violations not only undermine the rule of law, potentially by persons charged with upholding it, but also significantly impede the ability to seat an impartial jury and will likely substantially increase the cost to be borne by the taxpayers of Latah County to prosecute this case by extending the time it will take to seat a jury and potentially requiring lengthy period of juror sequestration," Hippler wrote. Tara Jalali Malek, an Idaho-based lawyer and former assistant United States attorney, told Fox News Digital that Hippler could hold the prosecution or defense team accountable if it's found the leak came from them. "Violation of a court's order is sanctionable," Malek said. "It could be contempt of court, and contempt can be civil contempt or it could be criminal contempt. That is going to be completely separate from what happens ultimately in the trial, but things that you see with contempt, there could be a fine. There could be a public reprimand, for instance. So there's a variety of things that the court could possibly do or not do if it's found that someone violated that gag order." "Anyone who violated the order, no matter what side, would be held in contempt," she added. However, Malek said she doesn't think the leak will result in the trial being delayed, as Kohberger's defense team has requested. "I would be hard-pressed to think that the entire trial would stop as a result of this," she said. "I think what is most likely, in my opinion, to happen is that the trial will move forward. This will be on a separate track as far as the investigation goes and figuring out who leaked the information, which side was it from. And then ultimately, who else, if anybody was involved or had knowledge of it, or like I said, it was just a rogue actor here that, you know, needs to be personally sanctioned in some way." Prior to Wednesday's hearing, Kohberger's defense team replied to the prosecution's objection to delaying the trial. In the filing, Taylor argued that a TV episode about the case has the potential to taint the jury pool. "It was a choreographed narrative broadcast to millions of viewers and advertised to millions more. It aired nationally and was promoted heavily across commercial breaks, streaming platforms, and social media, maximizing its visibility and impact. It was designed to provoke strong emotional reactions, which is exactly the influence that taints jury pools and risks depriving Mr. Kohberger of a fair trial," Taylor said. Taylor also argued that there needs to be an investigation into the leak before the trial can start. "The prejudice from the Dateline episode requires a continuance both because of the resulting prejudice that is separate and apart from ordinary media coverage, and because trial cannot go forward without a thorough investigation into which person(s) leaked case information and numerous sealed photographs and videos to the media," she wrote. As the trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 11, another surprise witness has emerged. A woman claiming to be a DoorDash driver says she dropped off food for Xana Kernodle just minutes before Kohberger allegedly killed the college student. The purported driver came to light after a YouTube account, Officer Axon, obtained body camera video that featured the woman. "I have to testify in a big murder case here... because I'm the DoorDash driver, so yeah," she says in the video. The officer then asked what case she was going to testify in. "The murder case with the college girls," she said. "I'm the DoorDash driver. I saw Bryan there. I parked right next to him."

Chinese 'agroterrorism' could threaten US 'survival as a nation,' expert warns
Print Close By Peter D'Abrosca Published June 24, 2025 In light of the arrests of two Chinese nationals who are accused of smuggling a crop-killing fungus across the border, one expert warns that agroterrorism from foreign adversaries could cause a "severe disruption" to the United States. "Agroterrorism is any attempt to bring items into the United States intentionally that would impact our food supply," Kristofor Healey told Fox News Digital. "So this would be biological organisms like we saw in this case in Michigan. A specific lab-grown organism that is intended to attack items that are key to our agricultural survival as a nation." Healey worked for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for 15 years, first in an immigration enforcement role and then in counter-corruption operations. Now, he is a private investigator and expert witness. CHINESE BIOTERROR SUSPECTS' ARRESTS SIGNAL COMMUNIST COUNTRY PLOTTING 'SOMETHING WORSE' THAN COVID: EXPERT "Obviously, we're an agricultural-based economy in many ways, so anything that's attacking our wheat, our barley, the basic standard of what goes into so many of our food products that's being introduced intentionally, that's being introduced by a foreign threat to cause disruption," Healey said. "It's the same as any sort of other type of terrorism that's attacking a civilian population. It's just attacking it from that agricultural standpoint." Chinese nationals Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend Zunyong Liu, 34, were arrested earlier this month by the FBI for allegedly smuggling Fusarium graminearum into the U.S. and studying it in labs over a two-year period. Jian was a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan whose research was funded in part by the People's Republic of China. Fusarium graminearum is a toxic fungus that causes a crop-killing "head blight," a disease of wheat, barley, maize and rice that "is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year," according to the Department of Justice. It is also toxic to humans and can cause vomiting, liver damage and "reproductive defects in humans and livestock." "I don't think Americans really understand or really recognize the threat that the [Chinese Communist Party] actually holds, and how much our economy is built into the CCP-run economy," said Healey. CCP LOYALIST SHOULD BE SENT TO GITMO AFTER ARREST FOR ALLEGED PATHOGEN SMUGGLING, SAYS CHINA EXPERT He said that if a major event, like a war over Taiwan, were to occur, the United States would not be prepared for the wrath that China could unleash on America's crops and other critical infrastructure. "[Agriculture] is a very vulnerable part of our nation's infrastructure if you have individuals who are coming into this country, as was the case in Michigan, who are coming to study, who have a lab background, who have a background in this sort of development of these sort of organisms, studying or working with these sorts of organisms," Healey said. "If they have ill-intent, that's the sort of thing that could cause severe disruption to our food safety, that could cause severe destruction to… what essentially goes into keeping America running." Healey also noted that while the United States focuses a great deal of time on keeping out dangerous people or items like bombs and weaponry, it should be paying more attention to agricultural and biological terror threats, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. SUSPECTED CHINESE BIOTERRORISTS SMUGGLED KILLER AGENT INTO US IN BOOTS, OFFICIALS SAY "I would suggest that is something we need to be thinking about a lot more, because we just came off, five years ago, the entire world being shut down by what now appears to be a biological item that leaked from a laboratory and then infected millions of people and killed millions of people around the globe," he said. Healey warned that Americans should be prepared in the event of such an attack. "You don't have to be a prepper and build a silo in Nebraska and bury all your food supplies and wait for the end of the road, but you do have to be thinking a little bit down the road," he said. "Be prepared in the sense that you're the kind of person who's looking down the road. Not 24 hours in the future, but looking weeks and sometimes months in the future and preparing accordingly."

Education bodies in Dehcho welcome investigations launched by N.W.T. gov't
The organizations in the Dehcho at the centre of multiple investigations launched by the N.W.T. education minister say they welcome the scrutiny. The investigations, announced a week ago, are into both the Dehcho Divisional Education Council and all District Education Authorities (DEAs) in the region. They're wide-ranging, from finances to human resources to personnel matters and governance. According to a June 20 news release from the government, one investigation into finances appears to have already started, while another — which is an independent review looking at governance — begins in July and is expected to wrap up at the end of August and include findings and next steps. Minister Caitlin Cleveland declined an interview request after announcing the investigations last week. Derek Squirrel, vice-chair of the DEA in Fort Simpson, says he is glad the government is looking into issues parents are facing. "I think it's a long time coming for this," Squirrel said. "Once we met with the minister and she mentioned that she was going to do an investigation, we made a recommendation that is that it needs to happen sooner than later, because time is already ticking." Squirrel says he isn't concerned that the Fort Simpson DEA is being investigated. "There wouldn't be anything to find," he said, adding the DEA follows the Education Act and its policies. "All the decisions that we make at a board level are not taken lightly... we welcome the investigation, we think that this is needed, we wish it came sooner." CBC News contacted Donna Miller Fry, the superintendent of the Dehcho Divisional Education Council (DDEC), about the investigations into the school board and DEAs. Miller Fry responded in an email that she also welcomes the education department's investigation and that her organization will do whatever they can to support that work. The board's "priority is children and young people, and ensuring they are learning and thriving in our schools," she wrote. "That happens best when the system of governance is also thriving and working as it should." The announcement of the investigations came weeks after parents in Fort Simpson, N.W.T., met with Cleveland to bring forward issues they had with the local elementary school principal. In the meeting, Fort Simpson DEA members also outlined how their concerns had been raised with Miller Fry, and alleged that she hadn't dealt with them. Miller Fry has told CBC News that she couldn't speak about that principal due to confidentiality. The education department has not tied the investigations to any conflict or concerns about the principal. Rather, the news release last week refers to "serious concerns from parents, educators, community members, and education partners in the Dehcho." The DDEC is headquartered in Fort Simpson and is guided by trustees from that community as well as from Kakisa, Jean Marie River, Sambaa K'e, Fort Liard, Nahanni Butte, Wrigley and Fort Providence.
