A lawyer who represents four -fold murder suspect Bryan Kherberger has been replaced before his process of capital murder.
Kherberger, 30, is accused of stabbing four students from the University of Idaho in November 2022 – Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mag, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20, in their house outside the campus.
A judicial order that district judge Steven J. Hippler said on Thursday said that Jay Logsdon, the Staatsprublic defender of North Idaho and Co-Counsel in the defense of the case, will be replaced by Bicka Barlow during the trial.
Barlow, a lawyer who specializes in cases with a forensic DNA certificate, previously worked for the criminal division of the office of the public defender of San Francisco, according to her website.
She testified earlier in the case as a consultant, according to judicial documents that have been revised by DailyMail.com.
Barlow will now serve in addition to the legal team of Kherberger, Anne Taylor, who serves as a local counselor, and Elisa G. Massoth, who serves as a co-counsel.
Although Logsdon is not allowed to participate as a process advisor, he remains in the case as an advisory adviser. The order did not indicate why the change was made.
News about the legal change only comes a few days after Hippler was determined that DNA certificate will be allowed during the process.

Initially, the public prosecutors of DNA technology was used to identify Kherberger -a graduate student at the time -but on Wednesday the judge found that the police did not violate the constitutional rights of Kherberger during the search for the person who has the young students killed.
Authorities had found genetic material on a Messchede in the murder scene, which the police associated with Kherberger through genetic genealogical tests – that compares the sample of data from public databases that came from the distant family members of the suspect.
The Kherberger defense team has since argued that his constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure were violated because his DNA was obtained without an order.
But Hippler ruled that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in identity 'and the Kherberger team' has not proven that his DNA was tested for something other than identifying purposes', according to judicial documents obtained by Kiro.
“Even if the DNA analysis revealed sensitive personal data, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in DNA,” the judge wrote.
He also stipulated that the public prosecutors of DNA technology did not endanger the investigation and the use of it by the FBI justifies the suppression of any that was collected afterwards.
Separately, Hippler ruled that the defense claim that detectives lied or information from an earlier judge to obtain to obtain searches was unfounded and does not support the keeping of a separate hearing to challenge the evidence.
The ruling only comes a week after Kherberger's lawyers claimed that blood from an unknown man was found on a handrail in the house of the victims and another DNA was found on a glove outside.
Barlow previously testified as a consultant in the case, according to judicial documents that have been revised by DailyMail.com. (Shown: Barlow speaks during a hearing for Kherberger in August 2023)
Taylor criticized the authorities when they claimed that the police did not announce the non -created blood when obtaining a search order for the arrest of Kherberger in December 2022, those prosecutors did not dispute.
She argued that this should disqualify any proof in the search, because it was not well authorized.
But Hippler rejected those claims on Wednesday.
“His DNA is still on the Messchede,” the judge said, according to Fox News.
“That's the problem, counsel.”
Hippler then denied the motion of the defense to suppress digital evidence that has been collected from Google, Amazon and Apple accounts from Kherberger, as well as his mobile phone data.
The police said that his phone had been placed home from the victim for a dozen times before the murders near the King Road.
Kherberger has maintained his innocence since his arrest, which came after a controversial search that lasted more than a month when social media became obsessed with the case.
Internet-Speurnezen are about the history of the lanky education assistant and revealed everything, from his bullying in high school by popular classmates to his humiliating tondon data.
The accused murderer is now on trial in August, with jury selection planned for July 30.
His first test date was established for October 2023. However, since his arrest, Taylor has requested several extensions and further hearings, which caused anger of the families of the victims.
His legal team even delayed his official alibi until May 2024, and when he finally did, public prosecutors and the public reacted with dismay when he claimed that he 'drove alone' in the night of the murders to the moon And watch the stars. '
In that application, Taylor said that she would call in an expert in the field of telephone data analysis to support his claims that he was miles off the scene, which is one of the prosecutors and repeatedly clashes the defense.
In the midst of the Gulf of Media, the families of the victims have used the attention to condemn the procedure against Kherberger.
In December 2023, the mother of victim Kaylee Goncalves said that the current process is 'complicated'.
'It is complicated how slowly everything should go. Why does this have to be pulled out? “Kaylee's mother Krisi said in an interview with KHQ.
From the data of mobile phones produced by public prosecutors, the route was said to be driven by Bryan Kherberger in the night of the brutal Idaho murders, a crucial piece of proof in the state of the State could be against him
Idaho officials were also shot after the house outside the campus where the four students were stabbed dead – was demolished – against the wishes of the victim. (Shown: the house is being demolished in December 2023)
'It is important, I understand, but there are facts, we have certain facts, we have certain knowledge. I can't believe this is how it works. '
Idaho officials were also shot after the house outside the campus where the four students were stabbed dead – was demolished – against the wishes of the victim.
Although both the prosecution and the defense agreed that it was demolished, the families argued, where the lovers of Goncalves feared that the move would “destroy one of the most critical evidence in the case.”
Before it was demolished, the scenes in the house were so horrible that exclusive DailyMail.com images showed that blood was the outside of the building.
If it is found guilty, Kherberger could face the death penalty.
