Overview

• Judge Steven Hippler ruled that Bryan Kohberger’s immediate family members may attend his trial, citing his Sixth Amendment right to a public trial, even though they may be called as witnesses.
• The court denied prosecutors’ request to conduct personality testing on Kohberger, citing time constraints and privacy concerns related to undisclosed diagnoses.
• New surveillance video allegedly shows a car matching Kohberger’s circling the victims’ house multiple times on the night of the murders, adding to evidence tying him to the scene.
• Cellphone tower data reportedly shows Kohberger’s phone connected near the crime scene 23 times over four months, including the night of the killings, all during nighttime hours.
• Prosecutors continue to pursue the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted, with jury selection scheduled to begin in late July ahead of the August trial.
