An Idaho-based lawyer said she thinks Judge Steven Hippler will “absolutely” hold prosecutors and law enforcement accountable after sensitive information about the Bryan Kohberger quadruple murder case was leaked.

A TV episode about the murders of four University of Idaho students was aired on May 9 and featured new cellphone records, surveillance video, search records and more. Kohberger is accused of killing Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

New information about the murders was shared during the May 9 NBC “Dateline” program, which included surveillance video from a nearby house. The surveillance video showed a car similar to Kohberger’s that was in the area of the King Road house several times just before the four students were killed. 

The program also claimed that FBI cellphone tower data showed that Kohberger’s cellphone pinged nearly a dozen times to a tower that provides coverage to an area within 100 feet of 1122 King Road, where he allegedly killed the four students.

Morgan said the leak might have the biggest impact if Kohberger decides to file an appeal, after a jury hands down a decision.

“Afterwards, if in fact [Kohberger] is found guilty, his attorneys are going to have a field day with stuff like this,” he said.

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Neama Rahmani told Fox News Digital he doesn’t think the leak will have much of an impact on the case.

“People should follow court orders, but this is more bluster than anything and I don’t think much will come of it. This is what happens when you have a very broad gag order and it takes 3.5 years to finally get a murder case to trial. It’s not realistic to expect evidence not being leaked to the media for years in the biggest murder trial in the country,” Rahmani said.
