The judge overseeing Bryan Kohberger’s criminal case felt conflicted over one of the most pressing issues in a high-profile trial: should cameras be allowed so that it can be televised?
Back in September, Kohberger’s attorneys asked for cameras to be banned from the Latah County courtroom where Kohhberger is facing four murder charges for the deaths of University of Idaho students killed in their home. John Judge, the magistrate in charge of the case, said he was concerned not by the act of recording itself, but how the footage might be treated by news outlets and social media. Commentators “talk about it”, he said, and “a lot of times it is not very accurate.”
