Hank LedgerBryan Kohberger's new attorney says Latah County prosecutors dodged the key arguments in his motion to remove Judge Steven Hippler, who earlier called him the worst of the worst.
Dale BearmanA judge with an opinion. In a courtroom. I'm shocked, Hank, and by shocked I mean I'm delighted, because this will take years.
Brock ThundersonCan I just say, a judge should be like a clear sky, nothing leaning either way, no pressure systems at all.
Brock ThundersonHippler's got a front moving in from the bench.
Hank LedgerThe judge also questioned his honesty, which is the part the defense really dislikes.
Dale BearmanRight, so he needs a judge who has never formed a view of anyone. I'd start the search in a cave.
Dale BearmanAnd I'm giving the defense a first week performance review of four out of ten.
Hank LedgerFour based on what rubric?
Dale BearmanVibes. The same rubric that got us the last press secretary.
Brock ThundersonLet me finish. Get a houseplant on the bench.
Brock ThundersonTotally neutral, I'd check its leaves every morning, and I'd want a number on how it's feeling.
Dale BearmanAnd within a week somebody files a motion saying the plant leans toward the window, and the whole thing starts over.
Hank LedgerThe window has a conflict of interest too.
Brock ThundersonThe sun, Hank. The sun is clearly biased.
Hank LedgerThe only neutral party in that building is the filing fee, and I'm told even that was charged unevenly.
