Bryan Kohberger's Defense Pushes for Trial Relocation Due to 'Mob Mentality'

Attorneys argue that intense local hostility and media coverage in Latah County jeopardize a fair trial.

Defense claims survey shows Latah County residents threaten violence if Kohberger is acquitted.
Prosecutors argue a venue change would not solve the issue of widespread media exposure.
Defense proposes moving the trial to Ada County, citing lower emotional connection to the case.
State suggests expanding jury pool to neighboring counties but defense rejects this solution.
Arguments for the venue change will be presented in court on August 29.
