Judge keeps Tyler Robinson hearing open as defense seeks delay over courtroom cameras

In Provo, a fourth‑district judge denied a bid to close Tyler Robinson’s capital‑murder preliminary hearing, keeping it public. Robinson’s defense is asking the Utah Supreme Court to review the use of cameras in the courtroom and to pause all proceedings while that appeal is considered. Judge Tony Graf also granted an evidentiary hearing on a contempt‑of‑court issue and will weigh whether hearsay evidence will be allowed at the preliminary hearing, potentially impacting the July 6‑10 session.

"Bryan Kohberger's Legal Battle: Court Denies Motion to Dismiss Idaho Murder Charges"

Bryan Kohberger, a criminology PhD student, appeared in court for a hearing to argue for the dismissal of the grand jury indictment against him in the Idaho murders case. The judge denied the motion but unexpectedly allowed cameras in the courtroom. Kohberger's defense team had filed the motion earlier this year, citing biased grand jury, inadmissible evidence, and prosecutorial misconduct. The prosecution argued against dismissing the case, stating that the Idaho Supreme Court had already ruled on the issue. Kohberger is accused of the murders of four University of Idaho students.
