ORDER DENYING REQUESTS TO VIDEO

BRYAN C. KOHBERGER, RECORD SENTENCING PROCEEDINGS

AND APPROVING POOL STILL

Defendant. PHOTOGRAPHER A live-stream of the sentencing proceedings will be provided by the Court on its media streaming account. Therefore, the various requests by media to be present to video record the sentencing proceedings are denied.

To ensure that quality still images are available, the Court will permit a pooled still photographer to be present at the hearing. The ASSOCIATED PRESS (AP) having requested still photography access, it will be permitted to provide such coverage as a pooled media resource. The permission to provide such coverage is contingent on the AP agreeing to act as a pooled resource for such photographs with all media requesting copies of any images taken in the courtroom. The photographer may only take photographs from the location within the courtroom assigned to them by court personnel.

Photographs may not be taken or published of any victims or members of any family members of the victims. Photographs of the gallery, and attorney work product-including any screens or papers at counsel table-may not be taken.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 14 ay of July 2025.
