In Episode 528, we address the State of Idaho's March 21, 2025 Reply to the Defense's Response in Opposition to State's Motion in Limine Regarding Immediate Family Members (of the Victims) rights to be present in the Courtroom at Trial.
As there is no dispute concerning the State's Request, the State asks for an immediate ruling on the matter from Judge Hippler.
In responding to Mr. Kohberger's request to also have his immediate family members present at trial, the State objects on the grounds that while the Sixth Amendment guarantees Mr. Kohberger to the right to a public trial, he does not have the right to dictate which members of the public may be in the Courtroom. The State then discloses that the State may be including members of the Kohberger family on their trial witness list, which is due April 21, 2025, as further grounds to deny the Defense's request in this regard.
We are anticipating the release of more Replies - the final step in the Motions in Limine briefing schedule - by both sides dated March 24, 2025 in compliance with the Court's January 31, 2025 Order leading up to the upcoming hearings on these motions before Judge Hippler.
