As the trial of Bryan Kohberger approaches, both the prosecution and defense have filed motions to restrict certain language and evidence that could influence the jury. The defense is seeking to bar terms like "murderer" and "psychopath," arguing they could unfairly prejudice jurors, while prosecutors want to prevent the defense from claiming the state is "attempting to kill" Kohberger in reference to the death penalty. Kohberger’s attorneys have again requested that the death penalty be removed as a sentencing option, citing his autism diagnosis, and have also filed a motion to limit the use of what they call "inflammatory evidence," including autopsy photographs and police body-camera footage. Jury selection for the trial is scheduled to begin in late July. Read More…
