​In the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger (Case No. CR01-24-31665), the defense filed a motion seeking permission to present live testimony from two expert witnesses during the pretrial motions hearing scheduled for April 9-10, 2025. The first expert, Sy Ray, specializes in cell tower data analysis and was expected to testify regarding the interpretation of AT&T timing advance records and their relevance to Kohberger's alibi. The second expert, David Howell, is an authority on digital data systems and was slated to discuss the complexities of Amazon's data retention and recommendation algorithms, particularly concerning the admissibility of Kohberger's Amazon purchase history as evidence. The defense argued that live testimony was essential due to the technical nature of these topics, which could not be adequately addressed through written affidavits alone.

However, Judge Steven Hippler denied the defense's motion, ruling that written declarations would suffice for the court's consideration during the April hearing. The judge noted that live witness testimony was unlikely to be necessary but allowed that the defense could have the experts available via video streaming during the hearing. Should the court determine that live testimony is required, it may permit such testimony to be presented remotely. This decision underscores the court's preference for efficiency in pretrial proceedings while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate live testimony if deemed essential.
