Bryan Kohberger's defense attorneys say news photos and videos have focused too closely on their client.
Defense and prosecution both want cameras out of the courtroom but some family members of the four University of Idaho victims say cameras will help ensure a fair trial.late last year want cameras banned from the courtroom, contending that news coverage of the criminal proceedings has violated a judge's orders and threatens his right to a fair trial.
"The court, I think, understands our concern about turning this into a spectacle," Logsdon said, and allowing photos and video "turns it into more of a TV show drama than a court proceeding."He acknowledged that news outlets and others would likely reuse older court images if cameras were banned, but said that would limit the novelty of the case.
But 2nd District Judge John Judge appeared skeptical of that claim. The criminal case isn't entertainment - it's a tragedy, he said.
