Bryan Kohberger's defense team is seeking to move the high-profile case to Boise, Idaho, 300 miles away, which they argue would give their client a better chance at a fair trial.

All Idahoans statewide have been affected by this murder. With the national attention on this case, who hasn't heard.

If BK's Defense team believes moving the trial a mere 300 miles away from these gruesome murders they are sadly mistaken. The entire country knows about this case. Especially Idaho!!! Let's all pray regardless of where the trial ends up...BK is found guilty and sentenced accordingly.

There is no place where these horrendous murders have not been reported 😮

[seane]

How does the defendant get a choice? He didn’t give a choice to the victims when he killed them.

[Brohhamm]

Why would they demolish the house the crime took place in? What if they need to revisit the house to prove something in court? It’s gone.

[Kendall]

He shouldn’t get a choice!
Those children didn’t deserve what happened to them!
Justice for The Idaho Four!!!

[gmv]

To be a fair trial, just remember he must be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt! It is better to let a guilty man free then to convict an innocent man!

[luiscastillo]

The entire country knows about this monster. No matter where he goes, they will know about him

[TMYPiscesSunandMoonRising]

This is BULL!! A change of venue should never come into play with 1st degree murder 🤬🤬. The families deserve justice.

[rhondawi]

What’s unfair is the 4 ppl are dead! That’s what unfair is

[pankajchand]

Why did the state demolish the scene of the crime? To destroy evidence?

[omarvargas]

I don't get why their taking so long to punish this sick individual

[jenniferschramn]

Shocks me that the family doesn’t have a voice. They are the priority. The experts shows there’s not that big a difference. The evidence will speak for itself.

[pattie]

People who live in this small town SHOULD be the jurors. It was their community that was traumatized!

[UHNWI]

Maybe prison yard justice will solve this problem

[finddeniro]

Move it ? Next town Over..Or Boise ?
LEAVE IT LOCAL ..Security. and Paperwork..Testimony of Police etc..LOCAL..

[loubliss]

😂 well don't commit crimes there and you won't have to go to court there.

[tracyshreve]

What makes them think this will make a difference? He'll be convicted no matter where this is. Just look at him, crazy land.

[southsidebill]

He is guilty. No venue is going to change that.

[oehthyl]

My heart goes out to the families. Having to wait so long for justice. Delay is the only thing his attorney's are looking for their client.
