Bryan Kohberger update: Why does the Idaho murders convict want to withdraw his guilty plea? Victims’ families react

Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, is seeking to take back his guilty plea, he told The New York Times in an interview from prison. Bryan Kohberger, convicted in the 2022 Idaho student murders, is now seeking to withdraw his guilty plea. (AP) Kohberger said he has filed a petition to reopen the case, blaming his plea on “false promises” and wrong information. A post-conviction relief form was filed Monday in Idaho courts, according to court documents. Why Kohberger wants his guilty plea thrown out Kohberger was convicted last year after entering a guilty plea, during which he publicly admitted to the four killings for the first time, “My actual innocence is my truth, and the plea, hinged on by false promises and blatant disinformation, MUST be withdrawn,” Kohberger said in a statement given to The New York Times. As per People magazine, in his petition, Kohberger alleged that his attorneys withheld potentially exculpatory evidence, misled him about the consequences of pleading guilty and used threats and false …

The chilling, charming mystery of tradwife Natalie Heller Mills in Yesteryear | Books and Literature News

An unflickring yearning for things of the past, a time one had never lived in, can make the premise of Yesteryear, the celebrated new novel by Caro Claire Burke, sound like a dream. Summaries floating about the internet described a social media influencer who suddenly found herself in the 19th century. For the hopeless romantics among us, it was enough that someone in the novel is waking up in the past, in the 1850s no less, when Dickens and the Bronte Sisters were writing their masterpieces and Uncle Tom’s Cabin was beginning to create waves. Never mind that it is a trad-wife, a creation of the internet age, that goes back to the past, it is still the past. But then there is another kind of anticipation for readers who pick up on the subject of that line: a trad wife – a woman who claims to love all that is traditional including the imposed gender roles and the lack of modern tools. She is going to a time when what she has been preaching …

A raid in a small town brings Trump’s deportations to deep-red Idaho | World News

A raid in a small town brings Trump’s deportations to deep-red Idaho | World News

People in Wilder, Idaho, didn’t give much thought to the dusty horse track west of town known as La Catedral Arena, where, on Sundays in the summer and early fall, vendors sold horchata and tacos, announcers called race results in Spanish and immigrant families gathered for reasonably priced fun. But when federal agents swarmed the track on Oct. 19 — weapons drawn, a helicopter overhead, unmarked SUVs screeching in on dirt roads — they did more than crack an alleged gambling ring and increase deportation numbers. They shattered Wilder’s innocent belief that its out-of-the-way location and deep-red politics could isolate the town from the raids overtaking other parts of the country. “We rely on Hispanic labor,” said Chris Gross, a second-generation farmer who grows sweet corn seed and mint in Wilder. She added, “Nobody thought something like this could happen here.” The raid on La Catedral may not have made the national headlines that immigration sweeps in Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles did, but it illustrated the depth and breadth of President Donald Trump’s effort …

These 2 US cities have made pride flags official city emblems | World News

The Democratic controlled cities of Salt Lake City and Boise adopted new city flags this week showing support for LGBTQ+ people in defiance of their states’ Republican-controlled Legislatures, which have banned traditional rainbow pride flags at schools and government buildings. Utah’s capital of Salt Lake City created new flag designs while Boise, the capital of Idaho, made the traditional pride flag one of its official city flags. The move in Utah came hours before a ban on unsanctioned flag displays took effect Wednesday. The cities’ mayors spoke Tuesday morning to discuss their individual plans and offer each other support, said Andrew Wittenberg, a spokesperson for Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall’s office.“My sincere intent is not to provoke or cause division,” Mendenhall said. Story continues below this ad “My intent is to represent our city’s values and honor our dear diverse residents who make up this beautiful city and the legacy of pain and progress that they have endured.” Idaho’s flag ban took effect April 3, barring government buildings from displaying any flags except those …

Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact

Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact

A solar storm is set to reach Earth tonight, with potential geomagnetic activity that could make the northern lights visible as far south as New York and Idaho. The event is the result of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun, which was recorded on March 1. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has classified this as a G1-level geomagnetic storm, with a possibility of stronger G2 conditions. As a result, skywatchers in mid-latitudes may witness the aurora borealis in areas where the skies remain clear. Geomagnetic Storm Forecast and Impact According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, the CME is expected to make contact with Earth’s magnetic field between March 4 and March 5. The intensity of the storm is predicted to peak between 7:00 p.m. EST and 10:00 p.m. EST on March 5. While a G1 storm is considered minor, space weather physicist Tamitha Skov has indicated that G2 storm conditions remain a possibility, increasing the chances of a more widespread auroral display. Geomagnetic …

Supreme Court appears skeptical that state abortion bans conflict with federal health care law | Latest News India

WASHINGTON — Conservative Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical Wednesday that state abortion bans taking effect after their sweeping ruling overturning Roe v. Wade violate federal healthcare law, though some also questioned the effects on emergency pregnancy care. Supreme Court appears skeptical that state abortion bans conflict with federal health care law The case marks the first time the Supreme Court has considered the implications of a state ban since overturning the nationwide right to abortion. It comes from Idaho, which is among 14 states that now ban abortion at all stages of pregnancy with very limited exceptions. HT launches Crick-it, a one stop destination to catch Cricket, anytime, anywhere. Explore now! The high court has already allowed the state ban to go into effect, even in medical emergencies, and it was unclear whether members of the conservative majority were swayed by the Biden administration’s argument that federal law overrides the state in rare emergency cases where a pregnant patient’s health is at serious risk. The Justice Department says abortion care must be allowed in those …
