KOHBERGER IN ISOLATION, "SPORTY" NEW LOOK FOR TRIAL?

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

.As Judge John Judge reviewed the motion for a change of venue, his tough call was to move the trial to Ada County. Now, the Idaho State Supreme Court has pinpointed Boise, nearly 300 miles from the crime scene. The Supremes, citing the large jury pool, court room accommodations, and less saturation of prejudicial media as factors in their decision. In accordance with Judge Judge’s wishes, the Supreme Court also remanded the case to Judge Steven Hippler.

Kohberger is secretly transferred to the Ada County Jail on an Idaho State Police plane. Latah and Ada County Sheriffs say they decided to work with State Police to make the transfer as safe and efficient as possible. The 6-hour drive from Moscow to Boise presented plenty of opportunity for complications like a blown tire or road closures. The 2-hour early morning flight mitigated those concerns, and went smoothly according to Ada County Sheriff’s Captain Ryan Jensen.

Bryan Kohberger is held in the maximum-security section of the Ada County Jail in one of its 88 solitary cells. Kohberger reportedly will not have any additional security, following the same procedures for recent high-profile cases. All inmates receive a ‘mainline’, vegan, or kosher meal to their cell three times a day. The jail has recently cut down their menu as it operates at or above 92% capacity. Many inmates sleep on the floor due to the overcrowding. Inmates are permitted to purchase snacks and other small items from the commissary once a week.
