POCATELLO â Bannock County prosecutors and the defense attorneys representing the local man accused of fatally stabbing 25-year-old Nori Jones in her Pocatello home in 2004 were back in court Tuesday to discuss the status of the case.
Brad Scott Compher, 45, of Pocatello, has been incarcerated at the Bannock County Jail in Pocatello since he was arrested and charged in September 2014 with felony first degree murder and a felony enhancement for using a weapon during the commission of a felony crime.
Though Bannock County prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Compher, who is by far the Bannock County Jailâs longest-tenured inmate, no trial date has yet been scheduled in his case. And with the Idaho Supreme Courtâs Dec. 14 order indefinitely suspending jury trials in the state due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, itâs anyoneâs guess when Compherâs trial will begin.
