A town is preparing for the murder trial against Brian Kohlberger. On Wednesday morning, Ada County District Court Judge Stephen Hippler issued a directive concerning juror questionnaires.

Similar to the high-profile cases of Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell, the Ada County District Court plans to call upon hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals to come to the courthouse to complete these questionnaires. This process is intended to take place in the weeks leading up to the stage where the attorneys evaluate potential jurors in groups to narrow down the jury pool.

As the trial date nears, a media town hall organized by the Ada County 4th District Court for Brian Kohlberger's quadruple murder case brought to light several logistical challenges, especially regarding parking and media workspace. The virtual event attracted over 100 media representatives and provided an opportunity for direct inquiries to a judge.

Scott Wilder, a Fox News representative, expressed concerns about the courthouse's accessibility for media personnel, highlighting that while the courthouse has an appealing exterior, its practical use for media setup was lacking. The front of the courthouse is a beautiful view, but looking on Google Earth, it's not practical, he said. If we had a parking lot with a few spots for network and local media together, Wilder suggested it would be easier.

Judge James Cothwin, who facilitated the town hall meeting, recognized these issues but emphasized the limited space available both inside and outside the courthouse. I do appreciate that and we can discuss it further, but there is no open parking spaces near the courthouse, he said. Those lots are intended for public use and they tend to be quite full during the day, Cothwin explained.

The town hall was held during ongoing pretrial activities, notwithstanding a recent motion from Kohlberger's defense team seeking to delay the trial, which is currently scheduled to start on August 11. Judge Stephen Hippler has not yet made a decision regarding that request. For Kohlberger's trial, 12 jurors and eight alternates will be selected.

Judge Cawthon informed the media during that virtual town hall that jury selection is set to start on August 4 at the Ada County Courthouse with opening statements expected to follow on August 11. The trial is projected to continue through November.

I'm Drew Nelson. An 83-year-old man in Texas is charged with murder after allegedly shooting a man he knew from church on a roadside and later boasting about killing. Wilmer Clifford Brillhart was arrested May 16th. He's accused of killing 66-year-old Glenn Davis one week earlier in San Leone.

Police say Davis was found shot on FM 517 near the old HLNP bridge around 3.30 p.m. May 9th. He later died at the hospital. This isn't Brillhart's first homicide, according to the man himself. He was found not guilty in another case, and that victim's brother got to know Brillhart well. He spoke to KPRC. He was known as K-Man Bill. From what I hear, people

would throw cans out when they passed by on 517, and he would go out there and pick them up. Brillhart and Davis both attended Lighthouse Christian Ministries in Baycliff for meals.

Witnesses told police Brillhart had made threats in early May. One woman said he told her he would, quote, put some lead in Glenn Davis's head. She also said Brillhart often bragged about killing others and getting away with it, claiming self-defense. Detectives said witnesses told them Brillhart joked that killing a third person would make him a, quote, serial killer. A Galveston County judge issued a warrant and police arrested Brillhart in San Leon with help from the Texas Department of Public Safety Special Response Team.

He remains in the Galveston County Jail on a $500,000 bond. Court records show Brillhart was arrested in 2014 for the shooting death of 31-year-old James Warren. In that case, Brillhart called 911 and said he acted in self-defense. Here again is James' brother, Joseph Warren. I think they said that my brother was the aggressor, but the witness that was there that said what he saw...

that my brother didn't approach the truck, but this man got out of his truck. He was sitting there waiting on my brother. Joseph Warren says he now stands with Davis' family. Whenever we have justice for Glenn, then my family can finally rest as well.

I'm Jennifer Gould. The serene, ultra-exclusive enclave of Montecito, California has been rocked by a scene straight out of a Hollywood thriller. A violent break-in at the sprawling estate of Beanie Baby's billionaire Ty Warner has left a 60-year-old woman in a coma forever.

her life hanging by a thread. The brutal assault has sent shockwaves through the affluent community, a haven known for its celebrity residents, such as Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Oprah, and its tranquil estates. Raquel Zick with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department spoke to NBC News.

I mean, it's odd for Santa Barbara County. I think it really shook a lot of our community members. The alleged attacker, Russell Maxwell Fay, 42, a combat veteran with a criminal past, was arrested after savagely assaulting the victim and then barricading himself inside the lavish home.

Sheriff's deputies swarmed Warner's mansion on Fairway Road just north of Butterfly Beach after a frantic 911 call reported a disturbance at 4.30 p.m. Take a listen. The suspect is probably still inside the house at this point. He also has an injured female who was found in the pond.

With a wound. Deputies arrived to find Fay had forcefully entered the property and brutally attacked Linda Malik-Aslanyan, a financial services expert who previously worked for Warner's hotel division. Prosecutors confirmed Malik-Aslanyan, 60, suffered severe brain injuries.

and remains comatose, her future uncertain. Fay, displaying bizarre behavior, claimed the mansion was his and demanded that everyone leave. He then barricaded himself in an upstairs bathroom, leading to a tense standoff before deputies finally took him into custody.

Faye was charged with attempted murder, burglary, kidnapping and assault and other charges. He's being held at the Santa Barbara County Southern Branch Jail and is not eligible for bail as he's been deemed a threat to the community. Court documents highlight Faye's criminal history, including prior convictions for domestic violence

and unsatisfactory parole performance. Ty Warner, the 80-year-old CEO of Ty Inc., who famously amassed a $6 billion fortune through his Beanie Babies empire, was home during the terrifying ordeal

but escaped unharmed. He has not commented publicly on the incident. Authorities are continuing to investigate the motive behind Faye's actions. So far, there is no known connection between the suspect and the victims.
