Bryan Koberger listens during a hearing to overturn his grand jury indictment on Oct. 26, 2023 in Moscow, Idaho. (Kai Eiselein-Pool/Getty Images)(NEW YORK) -- Lawyers for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of stabbing to death four Idaho college students in 2022, can continue their survey of prospective jurors in the state, the judge overseeing his case has ruled.Kohberger's lawyers had hired a consultant to conduct community phone polling ahead of his upcoming capital murder trial in order to gauge the attitude and potential bias of people who could one day decide his fate.That survey -- which had become a source of pretrial contention -- can now proceed without changing any of the questions, including the nine with which prosecutors have taken issue."The defense may continue its surveys without modification to the survey questions," Judge John Judge, overseeing the case, said in his order filed Friday and posted to the docket Monday afternoon.Judge had put the so-called non-dissemination order in place to preserve Kohberger’s right to a fair trial in the high-profile case.The "goal" of the gag order "is to ensure a fair and impartial jury can be impaneled so that Defendant receives a fair trial," Judge said. "If defense counsel believes asking these survey questions, which arguably contain prejudicial information or misinformation about Defendant, is more beneficial than harmful, as Defendant's expert testified, this Court does not, at this juncture, have sufficient information or evidence to second guess that strategic decision by trial counsel."Previously, prosecutor Bill Thompson, leading the case against Kohberger, argued some of the survey questions commissioned by Kohberger's defense had effectively poisoned the opinions of 400 local community members beyond repair. He said in documents and in court that some of the pollster queries not only violated the gag order, but that a few of the questions spread false information about the case, and could foster a "false impression" amongst potential jurors.Kohberger's lead attorney, Anne Taylor, argued their poll questions were based on information obtained in the "public record," and discussed in the media -- and, moreover, the fact that some of the information was untrue was part of the point since, Taylor said, the rumor mill can influence opinion as effectively as fact, and gauging bias is exactly their aim determining whether a local jury pool could be fair and impartial.Here's how the judge assessed the nine questions "at issue" in his ruling:Six of the questions came from the probable cause affidavit, which is publicly available; thus, asking about it does not violate the gag order.One of the questions "was not based on admissible or inadmissible 'evidence' but instead asked about the feelings" of community members in Moscow, Idaho, where the killings allegedly occurred -- therefore, it did not violate the gag order.The remaining two questions, which asked about certain "media items," were "read into the public record and discussed at length" during the recent hearings litigating the survey, "including the fact that these 'media items' may not be true," the judge said. "Because the information is now in the public record, the Court does not see any benefit in preventing the defense from continuing its surveys or requiring that the two questions at issue be eliminated."Kohberger's team will now be able to proceed with their survey, which is part of their larger attempt to convince the judge to move the trial to a different county, arguing the local jury pool has been tainted by pre-trial publicity. That survey, Kohberger lawyer Taylor has said, already determined that the Latah County pool of potential jurors would not be able to be fair and impartial in his case. Now, Taylor has said, they want to assess potential bias in other areas of the state, where it could be heard by jurors who have not been exposed to more than a year of news coverage about the case. Prosecutors, for their part, have argued the “national, if not international attention” this case has received makes moving it from one Idaho county to another futile.Objecting to some of the survey questions, Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson read nine examples aloud in court, which he said "concern" their team "immensely":"Question. Have you read, seen or heard if Bryan Kohberger was arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania?" Thompson read during an April 4 hearing.Additional questions Thompson’s team was concerned with are:"Question: Have you read, seen or heard if police found a knife sheath on the bed next to one of the victims?""Question. Have you read, seen or heard that DNA found on the knife sheath was later matched to Bryan Kohberger?""Question: Have you read, seen or heard if Bryan Kohberger owned the same type of car recorded on video driving in the neighborhood where the killings occurred?""Have you seen -- read seen or heard – if the cell phone tower data showed that Bryan Kohberger made several trips near the victims' home in the month before the killing?""Have you read, seen or heard if university students in Moscow and their parents lived in fear until Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the murders?""Have you read, seen or heard if Bryan Kohberger said that he was out driving alone on the night of the murders?""Have you read, seen or heard if Bryan Kohberger stalked one of the victims?""Have you read, seen or heard if Bryan Kohberger had followed one of the victims on social media?"Prosecutors allege that in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022, Kohberger, then a criminology Ph.D. student at nearby Washington State University, broke into an off-campus home and stabbed four University of Idaho students to death: Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21.After a six-week investigation, police zeroed in on Kohberger as the suspect, arresting him in December 2022 at his family's home in Pennsylvania. He was indicted in May 2023 and charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. At his arraignment, he declined to offer a plea, so the judge entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf.Kohberger could face the death penalty if convicted.His lawyers have said their client wasn't in the home where the homicides occurred and was out driving that night. Lawyers also say they'll have expert cell phone tower data analysis to back that up.A trial date has not yet been set.A hearing on Kohberger's request for a change of venue is set for June 27.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

Craig Hastings/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- As the surge of summer travel draws near, the race to book a great vacation is on."If you're looking to travel domestically within the U.S., I think you should be booking now for summer travel," Clint Henderson, travel expert and managing editor of The Points Guy, told ABC News' Good Morning America.Earlier this month while reporting quarterly earnings, Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian projected "record advance bookings for the summer," telling CNBC that the carrier's credit card data and bookings show customers are highly interested in air travel.An increase in budget airline routes that has created more competition, paired with an easing of the post-pandemic revenge travel surge, means travelers could see more deals."Overall prices are down from where they were when we just had that boom out of the pandemic," Henderson said. "So things are more reasonable."Hopper, the flight booking app, has shown predicted fares for flights to Europe will be down 10% in price from the same time last year.Google recently announced its top 20 trending summer destinations, which saw a few newcomers on the list and Paris rose to the No. 2 spot.With the Olympics taking place there from July 26 through Aug. 11, an uptick in airfare and hotel pricing is expected during the Games.But those willing to wait out the Olympics could find big savings for flights to the host nation.The Points Guy has featured deals from Atlanta, Dallas and Charlotte to Paris for as low as $515 from August through the fall.Amsterdam, Prague, Spain and Iceland are among the most reasonably priced European destinations, as seen on Hopper.Tips for booking summer travelDon't forget to stay flexible with travel dates and keep midweek in mind for possibly lower fares.There's also a time during the post-summer rush known as "shoulder season," between September and October, when fares could drop by as much as 30%.When it comes to airfare purchase timing, the experts at The Points Guy have found prices dip eight to four weeks before the outbound flight, but after the one-month mark, prices will creep back up.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

President Joe Biden delivers remarks to commemorate Earth Day at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Va., April 22, 2024. (Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty Images)(WASHINGTON) -- President Joe Biden will travel to Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday to deliver remarks on abortion access and "reproductive freedoms" one week before the state's six-week ban goes into effect -- his latest high-profile effort to spotlight the issue as his general election fight against former President Donald Trump gears up.Aides say Biden's remarks will tie access to contraception, to in vitro fertilization and to abortion to the results of the looming 2024 election, painting a picture of what's at stake this cycle."Abortion bans are now a voting issue in battleground states across the country. That will decide this election," said Jen Cox, a Biden campaign adviser in Arizona, where abortion is also roiling politics after a court ruling revived a Civil War-era ban.Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler joined Cox on a call with reporters ahead of Biden's trip to Florida, which will include multiple stops including a speech."The entire point ... is for the president to forcefully advocate for reproductive freedom and call out Donald Trump's abortion bans as he's been doing since Roe [v. Wade] was overturned," Tyler said when asked if Biden will say the word "abortion."The Biden campaign has increasingly attacked Trump over the issue of abortion, which the former president has said should be left to the states while celebrating his role in ending Roe's national protections for access.Trump also insists he will not sign a national abortion ban if elected, reversing an earlier promise."We gave it back to the states and the states are working very brilliantly, in some cases conservative, in some cases not conservative, but they're working," he said earlier this month. "And it's working the way it's supposed to."As proposed abortion initiatives to expand or protect access are set to appear on several state ballots this November, including in Arizona, Florida and Nevada, the Biden campaign has emphasized what they see as the threat Republicans pose to allowing abortions.Since the end of Roe two years ago, other abortion ballot measures have won out in both red and blue states and Democrats believe the issue is galvanizing to their base and crucial swing voters.Tuesday's remarks from Biden in Florida will be notable, however, given his complicated relationship with the issue of abortion because of his personal faith as a devout Catholic."I'm not big on abortion," he acknowledged last year. "But guess what? Roe v. Wade got it right. Roe v. Wade [generally allowing abortions through the second trimester] cut in a place where the vast majority of religions have reached agreement."Other Democrats have urged Biden to be more full-throated.During an interview in January on CBS' Face The Nation, when asked if Biden needs to talk about abortion more, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said, "I think it would be good if he did."Instead, the president has leaned heavily on Vice President Kamala Harris to be the campaign's primary messenger.She launched a "Reproductive Freedom Tour" in January and quickly traveled to Arizona this month after the state's Supreme Court ruling upholding the 160-year-old, near-total abortion ban.Biden's trip to Florida on Tuesday also underscores Democrats' tentative optimism that they could retake the state this November after being defeated in 2020 and 2016 -- at the same time that Republicans have seen a slew of notable wins there, including the rise of Gov. Ron DeSantis.During a press call with reporters on Monday, the Biden campaign emphasized the success Democrats have had with abortion access on the ballot."Whenever abortion rights have been on the ballot, they've won," Michael Tyler, communication director for the Biden-Harris campaign, said on the call. "In November, Florida will have a referendum on the ballot and Arizona and Nevada are likely to as well. The last time there was an abortion referendum on the ballot in 2012, President [Barack] Obama won the state. So, with our enormous financial advantage, the Biden-Harris campaign can afford to invest in many paths to victory and that includes Florida."Republicans who spoke with ABC News have played that down, pointing to the many local races the GOP has been winning and Democrats' past messaging on abortion in elections they lost.Referring to the six-week ban, Evan Power, the chair of the Florida GOP, said that "this is what the voters sent their legislators to Tallahassee to deliver on and they did deliver on it. So I don't think there's a backlash coming in at all."But the Biden campaign insists they see opportunity."I don't think the president coming to the state tomorrow to talk about the fundamental stakes in this election for women in Florida and across the country is 'window dressing.' We take Florida very seriously," Tyler told reporters. "The idea that Donald Trump has the state in the bag could not be further from the truth.”Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Ryan McGinnis/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- The Supreme Court said Monday it would take up the issue of "ghost guns" next term and the Biden administration's appeal seeking to regulate the self-assemble weapons kits as any other firearm.The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a 2022 regulation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that determined the sale of weapons kits requires a background check and serialization of the parts for law enforcement tracking.President Joe Biden had announced the new regulations in a White House event from the Rose Garden in April 2022."They call this rule I'm about to announce extreme," Biden said at the White House Rose Garden event. "But let me ask you, 'Is it extreme to protect police officers, extreme to protect our children, extreme to keep guns out of the hands of people who couldn't even pass a background check?'"A ghost gun is a firearm that comes packaged in parts, which can be bought online and assembled without a serial number used for tracking.The case will not be heard before the court until the fall.The Supreme Court had granted a stay reinstating the federal regulation on ghost guns in August 2023, putting on hold a ruling by a federal judge in Texas that had struck down the rule, while the Department of Justice appealed to the 5th Circuit. The 5th Circuit, which is made up of three appointees of former President Donald Trump, then largely upheld the Texas judge's ruling.However, the Supreme Court has allowed the regulations to stay in place while the legal challenges play out.The use of ghost guns has exploded in recent years as they became easier to order online and assemble in minutes.In 2016, law enforcement agencies recovered 1,758 ghost guns, according to the Federal Register. In 2021, law enforcement agencies recovered 19,344 ghost guns, nearly double the number recovered in 2020.ABC News' Jack Date, Armando Garcia and Libby Cathey contributed to this report.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

ABC News(LITTLETON, Colo.) -- When 12 students and one teacher were gunned down in a mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999, the tragic event marked a turning point for America.Twenty five years later, some survivors recall how they have dealt with the physical and mental impact of PTSD, anxiety and depression."It's a big part of my identity and who I am and not necessarily that day, but more who I've become," Heather Martin, a Columbine survivor, told ABC News Live. "And a large part of that is because of the aftermath overcoming."America endured school shootings before Columbine, but never one quite like the April 20, 1999, shooting."We didn't have any context for a school shooting, couldn't name a school shooting," teacher Kiki Leyba a survivor, said.According to an ABC News review of the Gun Violence Archive, a website that tracks all shootings in the United States, 415 people have been killed in school shootings since the Columbine attacks. As of April 2, 2024, 907 have been wounded.The Columbine High School shooting was one of the first instances where authorities brought in psychological experts to help the survivors cope with PTSD.It took 47 minutes for SWAT teams to enter the school after the shooting started. It took five hours for law enforcement to declare the school under control."What we learned over the time was, certainly back then, you know, it was surround, wait for SWAT," Grant Whitus, one of the first SWAT officers to run inside Columbine High School, said. "But later on, everybody was going in. So that's what we were teaching. You get in small group of people, we first started with four, you first four go immediately. Then it cut down to one- and two-man's response to the active shooter. But no matter what, the first person was through that door, engaging the shooter. At least, they may not be able to take him out, but he can't be off shooting people when he's in a firefight with the cops."The survivors of that day say they have suffered from trauma for 25 years, and the tragedy still haunts them."That six weeks of therapy after it initially started, I received the insomnia diagnosis as well as the question of PTSD," Melissa Missy Mendo said. "Somebody had asked my mom, you know, 'Why did you feel that Melissa was going to be, or that Missy was going to be different?' And she said 'I knew this: It was going to be different because she was 14 years old, sleeping with her shoes on in between her parents every night for weeks.'"As the years passed, the survivors of the shooting sought to connect with like-minded individuals who could understand their pain. In a snowball effect of grief and loss, the survivors of the Columbine shooting became the first modern iteration of mass shooting survivors. They found solace in their similarities in a group that only grew.The Columbine group connected with other mass shooting survivors, such as survivors from the Aurora movie theater shooting in 2012 and the Washington Navy Yard shooting in 2013.The group calls themselves The Rebels Project, a network of people who support one another across the country."I feel fortunate to have a large survivor network from The Rebels Project because there were other moms in there that had gone through it," Mendo said. "And they were like, when you start to talk to them about them, make sure that it's going to be age appropriate and make sure that it's situational. Because the story you want to give them at the beginning is going to be something that they can understand."While the former students, now adults, are using unity to move forward, the teachers nearing retirement are handling their past experiences differently. Retired Columbine High School Principal Frank DeAngelis is embracing the lessons he learned from the tragic incident and using them to teach others.He is a safety and emergency management adviser for the school district and travels the world, sharing his 25 years of experience."Every morning before my feet hit the ground, I recite the names of my beloved [students]: Cassie Bernell, Stephen Curnow, Corey DePooter, Kelly Fleming, Matt Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Danny Rohrbough, Dave Sanders, Rachel Scott, Isaiah Shoels, John Tomlin, and Lauren Townsend. They give me the inspiration to do what I'm doing right now," DeAngelis said. "I'm going to continue doing it because I am not going to allow them to die in vain, along with all the other students and staff members who have lost their lives. And that's a promise that I can guarantee."Before his retirement in 2014, DeAngelis said he had to check himself into the emergency room over 10 times because of anxiety attacks. He added that he was able to reduce the frequency of his attacks by consoling former students who faced similar problems.On April 20, 1999, the survivors who shared their experiences with ABC News described it as the worst day of their lives. However, 25 years later, they said some positive outcomes have emerged. One of them is the bond the survivors share with each other and the strength they derive from it. One survivor said some outstanding individuals are really tough, capable of enduring challenging situations and fighting through them.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

avid_creative/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- A Los Angeles police officer will not be charged after a stray bullet he fired killed a 14-year-old bystander during a police-involved shooting in December 2021, the California Department of Justice announced.In a report released Wednesday, the state DOJ said it had concluded that criminal charges were "not appropriate" following a thorough investigation and cited "insufficient evidence" for criminal prosecution of the officer.However, the state DOJ said it recommended that the LAPD "improve lines of communication in response to Immediate Action and Rapid Deployment scenarios" and "should consider updating their communication training bulletin and any related training to account for the type of situation presented during this event."The teen, Valentina Orellana Peralta, was struck by the stray bullet while Christmas shopping with her mother in North Hollywood on Dec. 23, 2021, after police officers responded to a report of an active shooter at a Burlington Coat Factory, according to the state DOJ. Officers found another injured victim covered in blood and the 24-year-old suspect, Daniel Elena Lopez, holding an object in his hand, the report said. An officer then fired at the suspect, fatally shooting him.The LAPD previously released surveillance video, body camera footage and the 911 dispatch audio of the incident, which showed the suspect attacking shoppers with a bike lock inside the Burlington Coat Factory store. He did not have a gun in his possession, according to investigators.Orellana Peralta, who was hiding in one of the dressing rooms inside the store, was struck by one of the officer's bullets that bounced off the floor and penetrated through the wall of the room, according to police."This case was a particularly challenging one to process as this involved the loss of two lives," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in the press release. "Any loss of life is a tragedy, and my heart goes out especially to the family of Valentina Orellana Peralta, who tragically lost her life and whose only involvement in this incident was by being at the wrong place at the wrong time."The California Department of Justice said the evidence in their investigation "does not show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the officer involved acted without the intent to defend himself and others from what he reasonably believed to be imminent death or serious bodily injury.""Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution of the officer," the state DOJ said. "As such, no further action will be taken in this case."The LAPD and the family of the victim did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for comment."We at the LAPD would like to express our most heartfelt condolences and profound regret for the loss of this innocent victim ... There are no words that can describe the depth of the sorrow we feel for this tragic outcome," an LAPD spokesperson said in a video statement after the shooting.The young teen had come to the United States with her mother just six months before her death, her family told reporters."I only want justice for my daughter," Juan Pablo Orellana Larenas, the teen's father, told reporters at a press conference after the shooting.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.
