Lawyers for Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger won a small victory this week when a judge granted his request to access training records of three police officers involved in the investigation of the murders of four University of Idaho students.

The defense team argued that they wanted to understand the methods the officers utilized, citing their critical role in the probe against their client, News Idaho 6 reported. 

CREWS ENTER UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO STUDENTS' HOME SLATED FOR DEMOLITION AFTER QUADRUPLE STABBING MURDER

Kohberger, 28, is accused of fatally stabbing the college students four University of Idaho students in a 4 a.m. attack on Nov. 13, 2022. The victims were Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, both 20.

The four students had gone out in pairs on a Friday night a few days before Thanksgiving break before returning to an off-campus rental house on King Road, where the three women lived with two other roommates.

Chapin and Kernodle were dating, and Chapin was staying for the night. Kohberger was a Ph.D. student studying criminology at Washington State University, which is approximately 10 miles away. 

One of the officers involved in the murder investigation interviewed witnesses at the scene and worked on the search for the car connected to the crime. Another also interviewed witnesses who are expected to testify at Kohberger's trial. 

The third reportedly attended the victims' autopsies and made decisions about which tips to pursue in the case. Prosecutors said they intend to seek the death penalty against Kohberger. 

The Biden administration is reportedly preparing to appeal a Tuesday federal court ruling that found it likely violated the First Amendment by meeting with tech companies about social media censorship.

According to a Wednesday report by Bloomberg, the Department of Justice said it will appeal the ruling, which bans certain federal officials and agencies from contacting social media companies in efforts to suppress speech, and filed a notice of appeal with the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans earlier in the day.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reacted to the ruling Wednesday by telling reporters the administration disagreed with it, but wouldn't directly respond to a question about the censorship of conservative speech.

The federal officials and agencies the ruling barred from meeting with social media companies in efforts to suppress speech include some of Biden's Cabinet members, such as Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, as well as Jean-Pierre.

Google, Meta and Twitter were all named in the lawsuits.
