Idaho4 Defamation Case: Activity on Courthouse Steps En Route to Trial

Here we provide pure opinions, comments, and speculation concerning events occurring in the Idaho4 Defamation case, a 2 count federal lawsuit alleging defamation of character by a University of Idaho (Moscow) History Professor against an on-line personality/content creator and psychic in the case styled as Rebecca Scofield v. Ashley Guillard. A new Plaintiff filing on February 18, 2026 has resulted in the court setting a schedule for a response and a reply thereto on "the courthouse steps" just before the federal jury trial set to commence on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Will this matter settle at pretrial conference, is a rhetorical question asked herein.
