Bryan Kohberger's defense team has requested a delay in his trial for the alleged murders of four University of Idaho students, citing prejudicial media coverage from an NBC 'Dateline' special. They argue that proceeding with the trial in August would infringe upon Kohberger’s constitutional rights and require more time to investigate and prepare his defense. Additionally, they highlighted concerns about potential leaks violating a gag order prior to the trial. The judge has called for a list of anyone involved who may have leaked information, amplifying the case's contentious pretrial environment.
Defendant's attorneys argue that prejudicial media coverage and the need for further preparation warrant delaying the trial to safeguard constitutional rights.
Kohberger's defense insists that pretrial publicity, particularly from media leaks, undermines the fairness of the proceedings and necessitates further investigation.
