Hello everyone and welcome to police off the cuff real crime stories.

I'm your host retired NYPD, Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD.

Some decisions coming down from Judge Stephen Hippler in the Ideco case, not decisions that we

would consider not fair or biased, but many think that this judge, Judge Hippler, is a pro-prosecution judge.

And I would say to you and people that say that I'd say he's a pro-law judge,

Judge Stephen Hippler has now ruled that evidence of Kohlberger's ASD to explain his demeanor is only relevant and allowed at trial if he himself testifies.

pension for night drives to decompress. Kohlberger is accused of fatally stabbing Ethan Chapin,
