Kohberger is accused of brutally stabbing four University of Idaho students to death on Nov. 13, 2022, in a gruesome home invasion that garnered intrigue from people across the nation.



The move is considered a win for the Pocono, Pennsylvania native, whose lawyers wanted individual cameras to be banned so that photographers could not zoom in with close-ups of the defendant.
