About this episode
In a significant legal development, Judge John Judge has denied the motion to dismiss murder charges against Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology PhD student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. The defense had argued for dismissal, citing grand jury bias, inadmissible evidence, and prosecutorial misconduct, but the judge deemed these arguments unconvincing.

 Kohberger is facing four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary in connection with the tragic stabbing deaths of four young students. The case has drawn widespread attention and public interest.
 
 Adding to the controversy, Judge Judge made a surprising decision to allow cameras in the courtroom, despite opposition from both the defense and the prosecution. This ruling has sparked debate among legal teams and the victims' families, with some advocating for transparency and others expressing concerns about the potential impact of cameras on the trial.
 
 The decision to proceed with the trial and allow cameras in the courtroom sets the stage for a high-profile legal battle that will continue to capture the nation's attention. The case highlights the delicate balance between transparency and the potential influence of media coverage on legal proceedings. As the trial moves forward, all eyes will be on the courtroom drama that unfolds in this closely watched case.
