A transcript from Bryan Kohberger's closed-door hearing on investigative genetic genealogy evidence held last week will be made public, in part, judge says.
FIRST ON FOX: The Idaho judge overseeing the case against student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger has announced that he will release a redacted transcript from a closed-door hearing held last week, which he had initially barred the public – and the media – from attending. Ada County Judge Steven Hippler told court officials to hand over verbatim copies of the unredacted transcript from the sealed hearing on Jan. 23 to both the prosection and the defense so they could recommend redactions.
It wasn't his DNA that was searched,' Hippler said. 'At best, it was his ancestors.' Taylor also argued that the FBI violated its own internal policy when checking IGG samples against a database. The judge asked prosecutors why he should allow the evidence to be introduced.
