Episode 379: Motion to Suppress (Mr. Kohberger's Apt.)

Episode 379 is the third of a 13-part special series where we review the 13 Defense Motions to Suppress (Evidence) filed Nov. 14, 2024. All motions are currently set for hearing beginning 9:00 am on Jan. 23, 2025 before the Honorable Steven Hippler who is presiding over the Idaho v. Kohberger case. Here we address the Nov. 14, 2024 Motion to Suppress regarding the search and seizure of evidence from Mr. Kohberger's home, his rental apartment in Pullman, Washington. He argues the search of his home violated his constitutional protections against illegal searches and seizures. We note that the second of the four categories contained in the Fourth Amendment guarantees protection from unauthorized searches and seizures in a person's "home." However, there is a possible defect in the manner in which this Motion to Suppress was constructed which may potential lead to its denial. Everything stated here and in this podcast special series on the State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger case represents the creator's pure opinions based on the court filings and proffered pursuant to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution (Freedom of Speech and of the Press) and is offered for educational purposes only.
