Judge Marshall Denies Moscow/MPD Request to Dismiss EWU Lawsuit

Idaho v. Kohberger was a high-profile, highly-sealed criminal case which proceeded in state court for over 2.5 years until July 2025 when Mr. Kohberger pled guilty to all charges brought by a criminal indictment returned by an Idaho grand jury. A year after the closure of the criminal proceedings, the case remains largely under seal.In February 2026, a lawsuit was filed by EWU Media LLC who alleged the City of Moscow/Moscow Police Dept. wrongfully withheld information from the Kohberger investigation records after they filed public records requests into the crimes at 1122 King Road. The Respondents filed a request to dismiss the lawsuit, which Judge Marshall has denied.
