The judge ruled that most of the survey questions were not in violation of the court's non-dissemination order in the case.
Many of the questions included in the defense surveys came from the probable cause affidavit that was not sealed in the case, the judge argued.The judge in the case against Bryan Kohberger , accused of killing four University of Idaho students in the fall of 2022, is allowing surveys conducted with potential jurors to continue "without modification" after temporarily pausing them, according to an order issued last week.
During one of the hearings, defense attorney Anne C. Taylor said the survey was important for the defense team's efforts to seek a change of venue for Kohberger's trial, given the intense local media coverage on the case, CNN previously reported. "Additionally, one of the questions was not based on admissible or inadmissible 'evidence' but instead asked about the feelings of members of Moscow community," Judge explains. "Therefore, the defense did not violate the Nondissemination Order by asking seven of the nine questions."
