Defense attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, have been granted permission to resume phone surveys of potential jurors. Judge John Judge ruled that the surveys can continue as long as they do not violate a gag order that he had previously issued in the case. The defense team’s consultant had been surveying potential jurors about their knowledge of the case. Prosecutors had argued that the surveys violated the gag order and could prejudice potential jurors. However, Judge ruled that most of the questions in the survey were based on information that is already publicly available. He also said that other questions about rumors and crime documentaries that potential jurors may have seen about the case are now part of the public record and can be included in future surveys.
