Latah County Judge John C. Judge emphasized the challenge of ensuring a fair trial for Brian Kohberger in light of significant media attention and misinformation. The judge noted that 'the ongoing spread of prejudicial misinformation, rumors, and patently false theories of the case on social media' has further complicated the possibility of an impartial jury.
In response to concerns about the local jury pool being compromised, Judge cited findings from the defense experts indicating that residents feared 'riots' if Kohberger wasn't found guilty, highlighting the tense atmosphere surrounding the case.
