Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/X7H24DzEPnI Due to numerous public records requests in the Bryan Kohberger Case, law enforcement agencies in Idaho released over 200 crime scene photos online, some of which depict the victims, albeit blurred. Though it was blurred it still leaves room for the imagination and recommended that it be blacked out redactions. This widespread release occurred because the case did not go to trial, meaning the photos didn't undergo the official sealing process typically seen in court proceedings like the Alex Murdaugh case. The lack of judicial oversight in the release process of the Bryan Kohberger Case led to a lawsuit against the city of Moscow. Madison Mogen's mother, Karen Laramie, requested a temporary restraining order (TRO) after redacted crime scene photos were released. On August 15th, Idaho Second District Judge Marshall issued a TRO, blocking the city from releasing any further images, audio, or video depicting the inside of Madison Mogen's bedroom until a preliminary injunction hearing on August 21st. While the TRO specifically applies to Mogen's bedroom, the city has stated it will not release photos or videos from any victim's bedroom until the court fully reviews the matter. The attorney representing the families, Leander James, emphasized that the families want peace and not conflict, and urged the public to avoid viewing the photos.
