My trip to Moscow, Idaho for Bryan Kohberger's Arraignment - Idaho v. Kohberger - Attorney analysis

This is a pretty casual recounting of my trip to the Latah County Courthouse last Monday to attend the arraignment and motion hearing in the Idaho 4 murder case. If you watched the stream of the hearing, you had a better view of what was happening than I did! But I still noticed a few things that stood out to me from being there in person and have some things to share about the general environment, the experience of getting into the court, and what it was like in the courtroom.
