Mega Edition: Bryan Kohberger Responds To The AP And Their Attempt To Intervene (Part 3-4) (12/8/25)

Bryan Kohberger’s legal team opposed the Associated Press’s attempt to intervene in his Idaho murder trial, arguing that expanded media access would jeopardize his right to a fair proceeding. In their response, defense attorneys maintained that the existing restrictions on court records and evidence were necessary to prevent prejudicial pretrial publicity, especially in a case already saturated with intense national media coverage. They contended that unsealing additional documents or relaxing limits at this stage would risk tainting the jury pool and undermining the integrity of the judicial process.

The defense further argued that the media has no special standing that outweighs Kohberger’s constitutional rights, emphasizing that the court’s primary obligation is to ensure due process, not satisfy public curiosity. They framed the AP’s request as premature and potentially harmful, asserting that transparency interests can be addressed later without compromising fairness. In short, Kohberger’s response positioned media intervention as a threat to an impartial trial rather than a matter of public accountability.
