Photo by Ted S. Warren / AP BOISE, Idaho — Attorneys for a man accused of killing four University of Idaho students have asked that his trial be delayed, citing in part a recent NBC 'Dateline' special that they called prejudicial toward Bryan Kohberger and a need for additional time to prepare his defense.

Create Account The filing dated Tuesday said moving forward with an August trial would infringe upon Kohberger's constitutional rights. It said attorneys need more time to review discovery, complete investigations and prepare for trial. There was no immediate ruling on the request, which comes days after the judge overseeing the case, Fourth District Judge Steven Hippler, said he wanted to identify anyone who may have violated a gag order by leaking information from the investigation to news organizations or anyone else not directly involved with the case. Hippler last week ordered prosecutors and defense attorneys to provide a list of everyone who might have had access to the previously unreported information about Kohberger's internet search history and other details that were featured in the 'Dateline' episode that aired May 9. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Kohberger's attorneys raised concerns about the special and an upcoming book on the case set for release in mid-July. Their filing states the blurb for the book 'suggests that the apparent Dateline leak was not the only violation of this Court's non-dissemination order.' 'A continuance is necessary to fully investigate the leaks and to mitigate the prejudicial effects of such inflammatory pretrial publicity occurring so close to the current trial date,' the filing said. Kohberger, 30, a former graduate student in criminal justice at Washington State University, is charged in the stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves. The four were found dead in a rental home near campus in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022. A not-guilty plea was entered on Kohberger's behalf. Prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty if he is convicted. Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto & GTA Canada Columnists

Create Account Starbucks put new limits starting Monday on what its baristas can wear under their green aprons. The dress code requires employees at company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada to wear a solid black shirt and khaki, black or blue denim bottoms. Under the previous dress code, baristas could wear a broader range of dark colors and patterned shirts. Starbucks said the new rules would make its green aprons stand out and create a sense of familiarity for customers as it tries to establish a warmer, more welcoming feeling in its stores. But Starbucks Workers United, the union that represents workers at 570 of Starbucks' 10,000 company-owned U.S. stores, said the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining.

Instead of listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what it is, they are focused on all the wrong things, like implementing a restrictive new dress code,' said Paige Summers, a Starbucks shift supervisor from Hanover, Maryland. 'Customers don't care what color our clothes are when they're waiting 30 minutes for a latte.' Summers and others also criticized the company for selling styles of Starbucks-branded clothing that employees no longer are allowed to wear to work on an internal website. Starbucks said it would give two free black T-shirts to each employee when it announced the new dress code. Starbucks said Wednesday that the strike was having a limited impact on its 10,000 company-operated U.S. stores. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Thousands of Starbucks partners came to work this week ready to serve their customers and communities,' the company said in a statement. 'It would be more productive if the union would put the same effort into coming back to the table to finalize a reasonable contract.' Starbucks Workers United has been unionizing U.S. stores since 2021. Starbucks and the union have yet to reach a contract agreement, despite agreeing to return to the bargaining table in February 2024. The union said this week that it filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board alleging Starbucks' failure to bargain over the new dress code.

REAL ID transition: Portlanders should prepare for delayed lines at PDX
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Wednesday is the first day that airports across the U.S. will require a REAL ID to fly, but it appears to be smooth sailing so far at Portland International Airport. The requirement comes from legislation following 9/11 and states that travellers must now show a REAL ID. Airport security will also accept passports, military IDs, tribal IDs, a permanent resident card, or even a foreign-government-issued passport. As of May 7, Oregon is at 38.1% compliance with 1.4 million REAL ID credential holders. Another 46% have a non-compliant license, permit or identification marked, 'Not for REAL ID Act.' READ MORE: Don't have a REAL ID? Everything you need to know about flying after the deadline According to the Oregon DMV, the TSA said people without a REAL ID will most likely be able to get on their flights, but should arrive early to make sure they get through. Chris Crabb with the DMV also said people without a REAL ID can face additional screening. As of Wednesday morning, many airports are reporting wait times of just a few minutes. 'They will probably have delayed lines,' she said. 'And again, that depends if, you know, if a couple people show up on Wednesday without a real ID, probably not a big deal for the lines. If 10,000 people show up on Wednesday, that line is going to be significantly longer.' An example of a Real ID in Oregon, March 18, 2025 (ODOT) FILE – A sample copy of a Washington driver license is shown at the Washington state Department of Licensing office in Lacey, Wash., on June 22, 2018. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File) FILE – In this April 6, 2016, file photo, a sign at the federal courthouse in Tacoma, Wash., is shown to inform visitors of the federal government's REAL ID act, which requires state driver's licenses and ID cards to have security enhancements and be issued to people who can prove they're legally in the United States. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File) It can take up to three weeks after your DMV appointment to receive your REAL ID card in the mail. Crabb said the DMV has seen record crowds as people try to get their cards in time. DON'T MISS: REAL ID enforcement starts this week: 5 things to know In the past, TSA said they would not accept temporary cards as a form of REAL ID. But with the deadline days away, Crabb said it might be worth a try. 'If you are having a flight this week and you've got your real ID and you have that temporary card, we're encouraging people to go ahead and bring that and bring your ID that has the punch card, something that just kind of shows that you have made the effort to get through this line,' she said. However, Crabb said travelers should absolutely bring an alternate form of REAL ID in addition to their temporary cards just in case. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Create Account Port of Seattle police were notified around 11 a.m. Sunday that a man had escaped from the airport while he was being taken to Kentucky, where he was wanted on warrants. In a statement, airport spokesperson Perry Cooper said a 'contracted agent' lost control of the suspect during the check-in process at the ticket counter and that he fled toward the light rail station. Cooper referred additional questions to authorities in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The Seattle Times reported the man fled in handcuffs. Officials said Port of Seattle police confirmed through video camera images that the man had boarded the train headed north, and security with Sound Transit confirmed he was seen leaving a station in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Authorities searched baggage claim and other parts of the airport, and operations at the airport weren't affected, the statement says. Toronto Blue Jays Columnists Federal Elections Columnists Canada

April aurora: Northern US could see celestial lights this week
Stargazers might be able to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis this week, with shades of green and red glowing in the sky as far south as the northern United States. A pair of solar eruptions over the weekend sent clouds of charged particles hurtling toward Earth. When these particles reach the planet, they will create a display of the northern lights. The aurora could light up the sky late on Tuesday night, with another opportunity to see the lights on Wednesday night. The exact timing of the aurora's visibility will depend on when the charged particles from the sun reach Earth. An aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is seen in the night sky on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, in Moscow, Idaho. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File) A level 2 geomagnetic storm is likely, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, which could disrupt radio waves and some satellite operations. Where will the aurora be visible? While a widespread aurora outbreak is not expected, people across Canada and the far northern United States may still have a chance to see the celestial lights. This includes areas as far south as upstate New York, Michigan, Iowa, Wyoming and Washington. If the geomagnetic storm is stronger than anticipated, the aurora could be visible even farther south. Additionally, people using long-exposure photography might capture images of the lights, even if they are not visible to the naked eye. However, AccuWeather meteorologists caution that clouds, rain and even snow could complicate viewing conditions. A burst of wintry weather will spread clouds, rain showers and even a bit of snow across the Northeast, eastern Great Lakes and most of Ontario and Quebec on Tuesday night, but cloud conditions may improve by Wednesday night. The best weather on Tuesday night looks to be across most of the Midwest and northern Plains, although clouds will start to spread overhead by Wednesday night. Clouds are also a concern across the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains on Tuesday night, but clear conditions may arrive in Washington and Oregon by Wednesday night. •Have the app? Unlock AccuWeather Alerts™ with Premium+ For many onlookers under a cloud-free sky, the Aurora Borealis will appear as a faint green or red glow in the northern sky. Experts recommend heading to an area with a clear view of the northern horizon for the best chance of seeing the aurora. The colors are created when particles from the sun interact with oxygen and nitrogen in different parts of Earth's atmosphere. Green and red are the most common colors, but during stronger geomagnetic storms, blue and purple can also be seen. It's important to note that any images circulating on social media showing yellow or white auroras were likely generated using AI.
