MOSCOW — A Friday hearing on Bryan Kohberger’s motion to dismiss his grand jury indictment will be held behind closed doors.
Latah County District Judge John Judge sided with Kohberger’s attorneys to hold a closed hearing in an order he filed Tuesday. The Latah County Prosecutor’s Office did not object to this motion.
Kohberger was indicted during a private grand jury proceeding in May, which led to his arraignment. Kohberger chose to stand silent rather than enter a plea during his arraignment. Judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Kohberger’s attorneys are working to get the indictment dismissed based on what they view as a biased grand jury, inadmissible evidence, a lack of sufficient evidence and the withholding of evidence.
