Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger bizarrely claims courtroom cameras are focused on his crotch and asks for ban

• Lawyers for the Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger asked to ban courtroom cameras.
• They bizarrely claimed that cameras were "focused on his fly."

The Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger wants to ban cameras from court after bizarrely claiming they are focused on his crotch.

His lawyer, Anne Taylor, filed a motion asking the judge to expel cameras, arguing that in previous court appearances, the cameras had focused on Kohberger and provided "fodder" for people on social media, ABC News reported.

"Mr. Kohberger is entitled to defend himself against capital criminal charges without cameras focused on his fly," his attorney wrote in the motion.

Kohberger is due to stand trial for the murders of four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

The trial was due to start in October but has been indefinitely delayed after he waived his right to a speedy trial.

In the filing from August 24, his lawyer said that the media had failed to comply with an earlier request to not focus solely on Kohberger.

They said this "continued exclusive focus" fueled people on social media "who are not bound by notions of journalistic integrity and who have potentially an even greater reach than traditional media outlets," per ABC.

Photos of him in the courtroom were a "blatant violation," and headlines were "sensationalistic and prejudicial," his lawyers said.

The judge has yet to rule on the request. A hearing to address it is scheduled for September 13, The Independent reported.

Several media outlets, including the Associated Press, filed a motion requesting that the court allow cameras at his coming hearings, per the outlet.

The motion noted that camera coverage was not solely focused on the defendant and showed a wide variety of coverage of the overall case, according to Newsweek.

Prosecutors have said they plan to seek the death penalty against Kohberger, noting that he "exhibited utter disregard for human life."
