V. STIPULATION FOR

NONDISSEMINATION ORDER

BRYAN C. KOHBERGER

Defendant.

COMES NOW, Bryan C. Kohberger, by and through his undersigned attorneys, Anne C.

Taylor, Public Defender and Jay Weston Logsdon, Chief Deputy Litigation, and Latah County Prosecutor William W. Thompson, Jr., and hereby stipulate to the issuance of a nondissemination order prohibiting attorneys, investigators, and law enforcement personnel from making any extrajudicial statement, written or oral, concerning this case, other than a quotation from or reference to, without comment, the public records of the Court in this case.

This stipulation is based on the Sixth Amendment and the Defendant's and State's interests under both the Idaho and U. S. Constitution. This Court has both a constitutional duty and the

inherent authority to " minimize the effects of prejudicial pretrial publicity " and " to ensure the efficacious administration ofjustice. " Gannett Co. v. DePasquale, 443 U.S. 368,377 (1979); Hall v.

State. 151 Idaho 42,46 (2011).

As this Court is aware, this case involves matters that have received a great deal of publicity.

The United States Supreme Court has identified nondissemination orders as being properly narrowly tailored as well as the least restrictive means to ensure a fair trial in the view of First Amendment protections. Nebraska Press Ass ' nv. Stuart, 427 U.S. 539 (1976); Sheppard v.

Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333,361 (1966).

Therefore the parties stipulate that a nondissemination order be issued to protect against adversely affecting the integrity of the case to be presented at trial.
