The defense and prosecution agree that the hearing scheduled for May 16th, 2024 should be closed but do not agree that the hearing on May 14th, 2024 should also be closed.Ann Taylor argues the hearing on May 14th should not be closed because it is in the interest of Kohberger's 6th Amendment Right to have a public trial. The prosecution argues that the proceedings before the public trial are not obligated to be in the public and that they need to balance the interests, privacy, and sensitive information as a right to a fair trial.Judge John Judge ultimately sides with the prosecution to have a closed hearing on May 14th, 2024 signing a subpoena for the FBI to produce evidence for cell towers, amongst other things, that should have been provided over 6 months ago.RESOURCESLaw Nerd TV: https://youtu.be/A7Qe944eA3AThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacyChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Hannah Gutierrez's attorney requested the court to do a conditional discharge which places her on probation with certain conditions.
