Idaho murders: Bryan Kohberger leaks 'huge issue' with 'potential to compromise' prosecution, lawyer warns
Fox News
A lawyer warns that the case against Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger could be compromised because of sources leaking information in the investigation.
"It’s a huge issue that this source is leaking information," Edwina Elcox, the Boise-based former attorney of "Cult Mom" child killing suspect Lori Vallow. "That has the potential to compromise the integrity of the investigation and prosecution of the case." "I understand Kohberger fancied himself as intelligent. But as a Criminology Ph.D. student, it should have been abundantly obvious that maintaining pictures of one of the victims could prove to be problematic."

There are fears that too much exposure to the closely followed, national news story could taint the jury pool in Latah County, a rural swath of farmland and mountains in Northern Idaho where more than half live in Moscow, the college town where all four slain University of Idaho students were living.
