Prosecutors allowed to admit some traffic stop footage of Idaho murder suspect Kohberger

During a traffic stop months before four University of Idaho college students were stabbed to death, the man accused of killing them questioned why the deputy who pulled him over needed his driver’s license and phone number.

Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger — charged with four counts of first-degree murder — argued during a hearing Wednesday that body-camera footage of the August 2022 traffic stop was more “prejudicial than probative,” and could be construed as Kohberger wanting to hide his identity from law enforcement.
