The prosecution and Bryan Kohberger’s defense spent much of the pretrial period locked in an aggressive and unusually broad motion war, with each side repeatedly asking the court to shape what evidence the jury would see, what arguments could be made and even how the trial itself would be conducted. Kohberger’s attorneys filed motions attacking the indictment, challenging the grand jury process, s...

 Idaho Four murders didn’t just expose the evil of Bryan Kohberger—they revealed the sickness festering in the true crime community.

These people weren’t seeking justice—they were chasing clout, spinning conspi...

Ghislaine Maxwell’s American citizenship could potentially be challenged under federal denaturalization law, not simply because she was later convicted of serious crimes, but because some of the conduct underlying those convictions occurred before she became a U.S. citizen in 2002.

The State argued that Bryan Kohberger should not have been allowed to use his autism diagnosis as a broad explanation for his behavior during the guilt phase because Idaho law sharply limited the use of mental-condition evidence. Prosecutors relied on Idaho Code § 18-207, which provides that a mental condition is not itself a defense to criminal conduct and permits expert testimony only when it be...
