Despite handling other high-profile murder cases, the monthslong trial of Bryan Kohberger would have been a "substantial lift" for Ada County. “This one had its own issues that would have been much harder for everyone involved.” What to expect Wednesday: idahostatesman.com/news/local/cri…

.@realDonaldTrump's urging of the judge to force Bryan Kohberger to explain why he committed the murders isn't possible. While the 30-year-old could provide a statement at his upcoming sentencing, defendants aren’t required to do so. He has the right to remain silent, under law.
Today, President @realDonaldTrump weighed in on #BryanKohberger's plea deal, posting on his Truth Social platform that the convicted killer should be forced by the judge at Wednesday's sentencing to explain why he murdered the #Idaho4, from @alex_brizee. idahostatesman.com/news/local/cri…
