Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death late last year want cameras banned from the courtroom.
Attorneys for a man accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death 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.
Second District Judge John Judge heard arguments over camera access Wednesday afternoon but did not immediately issue a decision. “The cameras’ continued exclusive focus on Mr. Kohberger provides fodder for observers and purported ‘analysts’ on social media, who are not bound by notions of journalistic integrity and who have potentially an even greater reach than traditional media outlets,” the defense attorneys wrote, pointing out unflattering posts about Kohberger on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Courtroom cameras provide the public with government transparency and increase understanding about the responsibilities of the judicial branch, she wrote, and can counter false or misleading narratives that frequently spread on social media sites.
