Judge Hippler Makes Key Rulings On The 911 Call And Autism Defense 83x11

​On April 24, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler issued a ruling on the issibility of key evidence in the trial of Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. The judge determined that the majority of the 911 call made by one of the surviving roommates could be presented to the jury, as it falls under exceptions to the hearsay rule, such as present sense impression and excited utterance. However, certain portions of the call, including statements made by an unidentified woman relaying secondhand information, were deemed inissible due to lack of firsthand knowledge and contemporaneity. Additionally, the judge allowed the use of a transcript of the 911 call as a demonstrative aid during the trial, provided it is properly authenticated and accompanied by appropriate jury instructions. ​ Regarding text messages exchanged between the two surviving roommates, D.M. and B.F., the court found that many of these messages are issible under the same hearsay exceptions. These texts, sent in the early hours of November 13, 2022, include descriptions of a masked intruder and expressions of fear and confusion, which the court considered to be spontaneous reactions to a startling event. The judge emphasized that the issibility of these messages is contingent upon the prosecution establishing the necessary foundation at trial. The defense had objected to the inclusion of these messages, arguing that they lacked context and could be misleading; however, the court concluded that, when properly contextualized, they are relevant and issible. to me: [email protected] source: Idaho judge deals more defeats to Bryan Kohberger’s defense | Idaho Statesman Become a er of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/. 1454u
