What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFox News reports that the upcoming court hearings for Bryan Kohberger have been vacated, after his new lawyer moved to disqualify the judge.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report says the move marks the start of a longer legal battle, and the lawyer is warning that it will be lengthy.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the hearings are canceled, and what we have left is a fight about the person running the hearings. I call that a fresh start.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA fresh start for the calendar.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorExactly. An empty schedule is just space for everyone to grow, and a longer fight gives people more time to do it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVera, the report doesn't say when any of this gets decided. Nothing new is scheduled, and that is all we know about the timing.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen it's a blank page. A very expensive blank page, given how many lawyers are probably charging by the hour to stare at it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth are also vacated.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRude. Growth takes time.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo does litigation, and this one just got a lot longer.
