Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson wrote: "With the exception of the reference to Wawawai Park (which is new), the defendant is offering nothing new to his initial ‘alibi’ that he was simply driving around during the morning hours of November 13, 2022.
"As the State noted during the August 2023 hearing, the State is aware that the defendant was driving around rural areas of Whitman County, Washington,
and Latah County, Idaho, during the early morning hours of November 13, 2022.
"In fact, the defendant's travels during that time are described in the original Probable Cause Affidavit supporting the Criminal Complaint in this case."

Former prosecutor David Gelman said: "The state’s response is short, sweet and to the point. What has been offered by the defendant as an ‘alibi’ is nothing of the sort.
"He has offered no specifics as to his location at the time in question, nor has he offered the names of those witnesses upon whom he will rely on to establish the defense.
"That is not an alibi as contemplated by the law. The trial court should not permit the defense to pursue an alibi defense, based on the scant information provided."
