Court Filing

By: Deputy Clerk-Waters, Renee
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF
THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ADA
STATE OF IDAHO,
Ada County Case No. CR01-24-31665 Plaintiff,
V. ORDER REGARDING PRESENTATION
OF IGG EVIDENCE
BRYAN C. KOHBERGER,
Defendant.
As discussed with the parties at the January 21, 2025 status conference, there is a significant evidentiary overlap between Defendant's Motion to Suppress re: Genetic Information and Defendant's Motion for a Franks Hearing insofar as it pertains to his proffer regarding law enforcement's use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy (" IGG "). Although the hearing set for January 23, 2025 is not intended as a Franks hearing, in the interests of time and efficiency, the Court will permit the parties to present their evidence on the IGG issue as if it were a Franks hearing. By permitting such evidence, the Court is not concluding or implying that Defendant has satisfied the preliminary showing required by Franks on the IGG issue, nor is the Court bound to consider the full extent of evidence if it ultimately concludes Defendant's proffer insufficient to warrant a Franks hearing on the matter. This is simply intended as a time and resource-saving measure.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
22 day day of January, 2025.
DATED this Steven Hippler District Judge
