A judge in Idaho has blocked the release of graphic images from the home where Bryan Kohberger murdered four college students.

Second District Judge Megan Marshall issued the ruling on Wednesday, writing that graphic images which include blood and any of the victims' bodies will not be released by law enforcement agencies. Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves.

In her ruling, Marshall explained the release of such pictures "would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." 

"There can be no doubt that the photographs, video, audio and other investigatory records in this case are incredibly disturbing," she added. "The records are difficult to digest and provide a raw view into the horrific tragedy that occurred on November 13, 2022."

Moscow, Idaho, law enforcement agencies can still release images and other media related to the murders, but "must black out" areas within them that contain blood or any bodies. But Marshall stopped short of a complete ban of releasing investigatory records, saying the public has an interest in viewing them. Families of two of the victims, Mogen and Chapin, asked for some investigatory records to be barred for release to the public.

Kohberger pleaded guilty to the murders on July 2, in a deal which took the death penalty off the table. The four University of Idaho students were found dead on Nov. 13, 2022, at their house in Moscow, Idaho, located near campus.

In exchange for the death penalty being taken off the table, Kohberger will serve four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for the four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.

Following Kohberger's sentencing on July 23, Judge Steven Hippler lifted the gag order previously imposed on agencies associated with the case, allowing for the release of investigative documents.

Sunny Hostin, one of the more liberal co-hosts of "The View," argued Thursday that it is hypocritical for someone to say they are pro-life but have "AR-15s in their cabinet."

On Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV made headlines when he responded to a question from EWTN News by declaring, "Someone who says ‘I’m against abortion’ but says ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty’ is not really pro-life. Someone who says ‘I’m against abortion, but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life."

The clip won praise from "The View."

"I think he’s right. If you are pro-choice and pro-death penalty, you’re at least consistent. The other way you would be consistent also, right? If you are anti-choice and anti-death penalty, that means that you are pro-life, right?" co-host Joy Behar said.

"Well, I think that’s right. I mean, I’ve said it on this show many times," Hostin said. "I am at least consistent as a lifelong Catholic, I am against abortion. I’m also against the death penalty. I’m also against guns. I’m also against the starvation of children. I’m a humanitarian above all, because I believe that all life is precious."

When pressed by Behar, Hostin insisted she was against the death penalty in all cases, "and that’s why I find there is a hypocrisy with certain Christians who are ‘pro-life’ but they will pull that electric chair switch. They are ‘pro-life’ but they have their AR-15s in their cabinet. They are ‘pro-life’ but they don’t mind immigrant families being torn from each other. They are ‘pro-life’ but they don’t care about little children’s subsidies being taken away from them. That is not pro-life."

Hostin has repeatedly touted being personally anti-abortion but openly supports Democrats who back abortion rights.

"I have mentioned many times I'm pro-life. I've received a lot of hate mail for it. That's my personal position, but there has to be a separation between the government and religion," she noted in December 2023. "I don’t believe in abortion, at any time. I don’t believe in any exception to it."

Nonetheless, she was against the Supreme Court's repeal of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Hostin also argued with her co-hosts in 2024 when she debated about the nature of IVF, noting to Sara Haines, ""50% of Americans believe that a human embryo is a baby. I am one of those."
