As the Kohberger defense team moves ahead with their trial preparations in hopes of moving the proceeding out of Latah County, they put together a research project.
In that research project, they hired a polling company to survey area residents to ask questions about how much the residents may know about the murders. The company had reached around 400 residents before a concerned citizen recorded one of the survey phone calls and contacted the district attorney’s office to complain.
Prosecutors say the polling company was asking questions to plant negative opinions of Kohberger in potential jurors’ minds in the hopes the calls would serve to prove that local people were prejudiced against Kohberger and that the trial should be moved to another county.
