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.

Folks, we are waiting for some decisions in the Brian Coburger case, some court decisions.

And on the screen we have Judge John Judge right there. And he made some important decisions yesterday. As we know, Brian Coburg, the alleged killer of four students at the University of Idaho, had his motion to dismiss the charges against him denied by Judge Judge.

Koberger, who is 28 years old, stepped into court for the second time to discuss his motions to dismiss the indictment in his upcoming trial, claiming the grand jury was given

improper instructions.

The alleged quadruple murderer was requested,

requesting his case be sent back to the preliminary hearing.

However, the Washington students pleased were denied.

The judge told his defense team they would have to take the issues up with the Idaho Supreme Court

for the change as he was bound to the existing law.

Law sets precedent.

So if they wanted to take this to the Idaho Supreme Court, they could certainly do that.

According to the New York Post, the judge was quoted as saying, you know, I am constrained by

I appreciate the argument,

appreciate the journey back to history,

but he's looking forward to getting this settled.

In July, Kohlberger's attorneys claimed that or requested

because they allege that prosecutors failed to give a grand jury panel proper instructions when explaining the burden of proof before they voted to indict him.
