Bryan Kohberger's lawyer says the public showed bias against her client when people contacted by a defense researcher conducting a survey called police.
"The afternoon filing on March 22, 2024 was done with the intention of obtaining an immediate order without a hearing," Kootenai County Public Defender Anne Taylor wrote to the court. "Of note, due to the bias and interconnectivity in Latah County, citizens called police and the prosecutor about the survey." Michael Ruiz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

The survey is part of the defense's attempt to gather evidence ahead of a change of venue hearing, in which Kohberger's team will try to have the case moved to a larger jurisdiction with more people in the jury pool.
