Kohberger defense wants key video evidence thrown out, claims it's too long, vague
Kohberger defense challenges key video evidence
Bryan Kohberger is attacking key pieces of video evidence, claiming they are too vague and too long for his legal team to process before his capital murder trial.
ADA COUNTY, Idaho - Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger is attacking key pieces of video evidence in his capital murder trial, calling them too vague and too much for his legal team to process.
Kohberger's defense posted a new motion on Monday surrounding the surveillance footage from an apartment complex on Linda Lane, just a few hundred feet away from the crime scene.
The footage supposedly shows a driver circling the students' home multiple times just before police say the murders happened.
It was examined in Episode 2 of FOX 13's Bryan Kohberger: Inside the Idaho Murders documentary, as well as shared online by various true crime bloggers.

A rare interview with Ethan Chapin’s mom, as she shares her concerns about the upcoming trial and how she still manages to keep smiling. Plus, brand new information about Bryan Kohberger’s academic pursuits at DeSales University and we put you in the passenger seat as we drive the way out-of-the-way route cops claim Kohberger took the night of the murders.
However, Kohberger wants the footage excluded, claiming the prosecution handed over the 12-hour-long raw video, and his lawyers don't have enough time to sort through it and examine the relevant parts.
Kohberger also made the same objection to nine other security camera videos, all from the night of the murders. They were taken along the route prosecutors say Kohberger drove to get to the victims' house.
No word yet on when the judge might make a ruling.
