On Wednesday morning, Ada County District 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: Court Judge Stephen Hipler issued a direct concerning jur questionnaires. 16 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: Similar to the high profile cases of Lori Valodabel and 17 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: Chad day Bell, the Ada County District Court plans to 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: call upon hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals to come 19 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: to the courthouse to complete these questionnaires. This process is 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 2: intended to take place in the weeks leading up to 21 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 2: the stage where the attorneys evaluate potential jurors in groups 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 2: to narrow down the jury pool as the trial date nears. 23 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: A media town hall organized by the Ada County Fourth 24 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: District Court for Brian Kolberger's quadruple murder case brought to 25 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: light several logistical challenges, especially regarding parking and media workspace. 26 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: The virtual event attracted over one hundred media representatives and 27 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: provided an opportunity for direct inquiries to Adjudge Scott Wilder 28 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: of Fox News. Representative expressed concerns about the courthouse's accessibility 29 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: for media personnel, highlighting that while the courthouse has an 30 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: appealing exterior, its practical use for media setup was lacking. 31 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: The front of the courthouse is a beautiful view, but 32 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: looking on Google Earth, it's not practical, he said. 33 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: If we had a parking lot with a few spots 34 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: for network and local media together, Wilder suggested, it would 35 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: be easier. Judge Jame Cothwin, who facilitated the town hall meeting, 36 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: recognized these issues but emphasized the limited space available both 37 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: inside and outside the courthouse. I do appreciate that and 38 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: we can discuss it further. But there is no open 39 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: parking spaces near the courthouse. He said. Those lots are 40 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: intended for public use and they tend to be quite 41 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: full during the day. Couthwyn explained the town hall was 42 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 3: held during ongoing pre trial activities. Notwithstanding a recent motion 43 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: from Coburger's defense team seeking to delay the trial, which 44 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 3: is currently scheduled to start on August eleven, Judge Stephen 45 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 3: Hipler has not yet made a decision regarding that request. 46 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: For Coburger's trial, twelve jurors an eight alter ns will 47 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 3: be selected.
