Idaho court dismisses spine practice's antitrust lawsuit against health system
A 2023 lawsuit filed by Boise, Idaho-based Neuroscience Associates alleging antitrust violations by St. Luke's Health System has been dismissed. The practice's lawsuit honed in on St. Luke's "24/7/365 call coverage", which requires independent neurosurgeons to do on-call shifts as part of maintaining staff privileges, according to the July 16 order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho.

Lawyer for man charged with killing 4 University of Idaho students wants trial moved to Boise
MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) — Lawyers for the man accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students are urging a judge to move his murder trial away from the county, arguing the intense media coverage and public interest in the case make it impossible for him to get a fair trial. “The prolific media coverage, in Latah County, is not a mere passing story,” Anne Taylor, a public defender for Bryan Kohberger, said in a change-of-venue motion made public Tuesday. “The content is not benign, rather, it is inflammatory, emotion evoking and often misleading, false, and poorly sourced. There is no reasonable belief that media coverage will slow, regardless of how long the case takes to prepare for trial.” In order to protect Kohberger’s constitutional right to a fair trial, it should be moved to Boise, she said. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson has said he opposes moving the trial. He has argued that the case has received national and international attention so taking it away out of the county would not affect a potential jurors’ familiarity with the case.
