Controversy Over Planned Demolition of Idaho Murder House

Experts argue the demolition could hinder a fair trial for suspect Bryan Kohberger, but the university maintains it's necessary for community healing.

• The University of Idaho plans to demolish the house where four students were murdered in November 2022, a decision that has sparked controversy.
• Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the case, was a Ph.D. student in criminology at Washington State University at the time of the murders.
• Experts argue that the demolition could potentially hinder a fair path to justice, as jurors will not be able to visit the crime scene.
• Despite objections, the university maintains that the demolition is an attempt to decrease further impact on students living in the area and to allow the community to heal.
• No trial date has been set for Kohberger, who faces the death penalty if convicted.
