The document is a filing from prosecutors objecting to Bryan Kohberger’s motion to compel disclosure of alleged I.C.R. 16(b)(7) materials and to impose sanctions for what his defense claims is a failure to produce exculpatory evidence. Prosecutors argue that the defense is mischaracterizing both the nature of the materials requested and the State’s obligations under Idaho Criminal Rule 16. They assert that the materials Kohberger seeks — including investigative leads, interviews, and certain law enforcement notes — either do not exist, are not in the State’s possession, or are not subject to mandatory disclosure because they do not fall under Rule 16(b)(7)'s scope. The prosecution maintains that they have complied fully with discovery requirements, including the timely disclosure of expert reports, digital evidence, and witness lists.
The State also criticizes the defense’s demand for sanctions, calling it procedurally improper and legally unsupported. Prosecutors argue that Kohberger’s team has not shown any evidence of bad faith, willful withholding, or prejudice resulting from any alleged non-disclosure. They emphasize that the defense is attempting to convert discovery disputes into grounds for punitive sanctions — an approach the State characterizes as baseless and aimed at delaying proceedings. The filing closes with a request for the court to deny the motion in full, stating that the State has upheld its legal obligations and that the defense’s accusations are speculative and unfounded.
