​In the Bryan Kohberger murder case, 4th District Judge Steven Hippler has issued an order criticizing both defense attorneys and prosecutors for their excessive filing of sealed documents, stating that this practice has become "the norm rather than the exception." He emphasized that such actions undermine the public's First Amendment rights to access court proceedings and directed the parties to employ less restrictive measures to protect confidential information, such as redacting sensitive details or using initials instead of full names.

Judge Hippler's directive comes as numerous motions have been filed under seal in the lead-up to Kohberger's trial, scheduled to begin on August 11, 2025. These sealed motions include the defense's request to remove the death penalty, citing Kohberger's autism spectrum disorder, and discussions on whether terms like "psychopath" or "sociopath" can be used during the trial. The judge's order mandates that any requests to seal documents must be justified under Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32, and parties should seek the least restrictive methods to protect sensitive information, thereby promoting greater transparency in the judicial process.
