IANAL but I agree completely.I highly doubt that the author of the Affidavit made a typo or error just because an email shows that BK was interviewed in April.
Do you really think the lead investigator on this case got his facts wrong?
He writes that “ Pursuant to records provided by a member of the interview panel .. “.
So he has records to back up his facts.
“ These records show that Kohberger wrote an essay when he applied for an internship with the Pullman PD in the Fall of 2022”
BK could have had a phone/Zoom interview in April and then been narrowed down to the top 3 or 4 candidates by end of Summer and invited to provide an essay for final consideration. JMO
Why become suspicious of LE or think they are incompetent because a reporter found proof that BK applied for an internship?
The Defense is not going to pick apart the arrest affidavit, believe me.

IMO, the inconsistencies in the PCA are minor and any “errors” are not the result of incompetence, per se, but rather 1) an urgent need to get a potentially violent person off the streets as quickly as possible, and/or 2) only appear erroneous because we are not privy to everything LE knows. Although there is an officially assigned USPS street address for the residence, the King/Queen St. question is clearly a matter of formality. I’ll bet mail would still be correctly delivered regardless of which address was used. The internship issues may not be in error at all based on what we currently know. And, while which Jackson, ID or WA, does appear to be an error, we are just not in a position to dispute the declaration at this time.
I believe the PCA was assembled in good faith and I can’t imagine the defense challenging it. It resulted in an arrest and is now water under the bridge, so to speak. Ultimately the Preliminary Hearing or a grand jury indictment (not sure which) will render the point irrelevant IMO. Where I suppose it could arise again is if BK goes to trial and is ultimately acquitted. Then it might become an element in a civil suit against the state, assuming what appear to be errors to us today turn out to be carelessness. But IMO that’s also highly unlikely to be successful for any number of reasons.
MOO.
