The suspect Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four young Idaho universities in 2022, will be tried in August if he may be sentenced to death.

He is accused of murdering Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, when they are together, when someone breaks in and stabs them to death at night.

However, the case is getting stuck, especially as prosecutors fail to attribute the motive for the killing to the murder, which has scared the region and shocked the United States because of the media’s enthusiasm for crime.

Last week, Koberg's attorneys demanded a trial delay, partly due to strong publicity surrounding the recent NBC Dateineline case, which claimed to be biased against clients because it contained a clear prosecution leak that violated a non-deadline order.

The leak included information that the phone belonging to Kohberger connected 23 times in four months to a cell phone tower near the rental house 23 times. And, he searched the internet for information about serial killer Ted Bundy, as well as pornography with keywords such as “drug use,” “sleeping” and “die.” The defense is arguing that more time is needed to prepare for the trial now because of the publicity surrounding that information.

Crime writer James Patterson and journalist Vicky Ward may have further problems in July and have obtained crime scene photos and documents in civil claims related to the state's infamous Alex Murdaugh double murder, crime writer James Patterson and journalist Vicky Ward are running for a South Carolina judge.

Kohberger's lawyers said the book's publicity was "showing that a clear data cable leak was not the only violation of the court's non-deletion order, and that delays could mitigate "the biased effect of this inflammatory pretrial publicity."

Idaho Judge Steven Hippler said he was willing to appoint a special prosecutor to sworn in to determine the origin of the leak. However, whether delays are allowed or not, many courts have recently pleaded not guilty to Kohberger.

His defense team tried to preserve a lot of evidence, including a 911 call to remind police of crime. During the murder period, descriptions of a man with "thick eyebrows" in the house; and his Amazon shopping history, including the purchase of a knife similar to the alleged assailant, said to have been used at trial.

According to Kohberger's name and email address, an account purchased Ka-Bar knife, sheath and sharpener in March 2022, eight months before the murder and transported them to their parents' home in Pennsylvania, and was later arrested, Amazon records show. Police said a brown leather ka-bar scabbard was found next to the body of a victim, next to the body of a victim, DNA on the buttons matching Kohberger.

Kohberger's defense team claimed that his Amazon purchase history was "excellent, incomplete and unfair bias", but Hippler ruled that it was "highly relevant" and "established a significant connection between the defendant and the Ka-Bar knife and sheath".

In another ruling against the defense, the aider rejected the request for evidence to exclude criminology students’ 12-page master papers from trial. In it, Koberg assessed how to deal with the crime scene and found the woman stabbed to death.

Other rulings against the suspect also involved evidence about his White Hyundai Elantra, a similar car and model that prosecutors said, driven by the killer and captured in security footage near the house before the murder, leaving shortly after.

The judge also did not allow the defense to demand that the death penalty option be abandoned because their client had been diagnosed with autism. Instead, the aider ruled that if Koberg testified in his defense or as a mitigation factor, the defense could only introduce a diagnosis.

But the hippies also ruled that Koberg's defense lawyers would be allowed to comply with the court application of "support...replace the perpetrator." It is unclear whether another perpetrator or perpetrator's defense claim is allowed in the document at trial.

The absence of the prosecutor's documents to date is to give Koberg any attempt to what is called a motivation for action.

Forensic psychiatrist Carole Lieberman said she believed Kohberger’s study of psychology decisions, and then criminology was because he “tryed to calm the demons inside him” while “trying to learn how to commit perfect crimes.”

Last week, she further greeted her guardians, believing that the bloody crime scene and the use of knifes proved Koberg's anger at the young women.

She claimed that Koberg had been rampant since at least middle school, when he was obsessed with cheerleaders — who said looked like Kaylee Goncalves — just to let her turn him down.

"I think that's why he followed and killed them," she said.

According to some reports, Kohhberg follows Mogen and Goncalves on Instagram. The defense denied the claim and believed there was no motive because Koberg did not commit a crime.

Louis Schlesinger, a psychology professor at John Jay College, said it should be noted that the crimes Kohberger accused were targeted mass killings rather than serial killings, as two people in the family at the time, including a surviving roommate, including an intruder who had an invader who had been with “bushy eyesbrows”, were not attacked.

"It seems to be situation-based, so you can rule out mental illness or impulsiveness, and it doesn't seem to be sexually motivated. It could be a feeling of jealousy or rejection or humiliation. But we really don't know the motivation is."

But that doesn't mean the jury doesn't want prosecutors to at least suggest motives.

“Judges want to hear motivation before sending someone to the executive chamber,” he said. “They will wonder why he did it.”
