Editorial: Secrecy of Kohberger grand jury keeps community in the dark even longer

From Day One, information about the killings of four University of Idaho students last November has been lacking, and community members have been misled or kept in the dark.

Remember when police first responded to the scene of the off-campus house in Moscow, where they found four students stabbed to death? They communicated to the public that “there is no imminent threat to the community at large,” even though whoever killed those students was still on the loose, meaning there was indeed an imminent threat to the community at large.

It took days to even hold a press conference to inform the community the basics of what police had discovered, something Moscow Police James Fry has admitted was a misstep.
