Attorneys representing Bryan Kohberger, the suspect charged in the quadruple homicide case that left four University of Idaho students dead in November 2022, have filed a motion with the Ada County Courthouse seeking approval for their client to wear "street clothing" to future public hearings, rather than inmate attire. The defense argues that attending a hearing in jail clothing could impact Kohberger's right to an impartial jury, adding that potential jurors have access to every hearing through a live stream. Extensive media coverage and concern over finding an impartial jury has been a concern for Kohberger's attorneys in the past, and eventually led to the change of venue to Ada County.
