#BryanKohberger quickly glanced up at the gallery for a split second as he walked in...no shackles on his ankles today as we observed in previous court appearances
Judge John Judge apologizes for mispronouncing victims names at the arraignment
Now: the attorney for the Goncalves family, Shanon Gray, is arguing his motion to amend or clarify the gag order the magistrate judge put in place in January..
NOTE: there appears to be no family in the courtroom. Steve Goncalves told me his family would watch remotely today...

“The prosecution has never interviewed the goncalves family..How in the world could they be witnesses in this case”
Gray raises his voice in response to the judge saying that attorneys representing witneses can be limited to some degree with a gag order..

Judge- How do you feel you’ve been restrained in this order?
Gray- I think you’re not seeing the issue. The gag order is overly broad...

Gray:I’m absolutely blown away the prosecution doesn’t agree with me..I have not seen a poorer line of communication in my 22 yrs of practicing.
I think it stems from us being initially critical of the investigation. From that point on ..we are the enemy. That’s how we feel.

Prosecutor Bill Thompson's body language reflects the unhappiness in these statements...slightly nods his head in disagreement..
Judge: Would u feel more comfortable if there was more concrete description of what can/cant be said
Gray: I don't think you have the authority
Judge: I think I do...in fact I know I do...
Gray: I don't think you have the authority
Judge: I think I do...in fact I know I do...
Gray concludes: They’re throwing stuff in the air that is not justified and not enough to regulate our speech b/c we are not attorneys for witnesses, we are attorneys for victims…
Prosecutor Bill Thompson rises and sternly states that Mr. Gray has made misrepresentations…I need to correct for the media..
Investigators have attempted to interview his clients and Mr. Gray has not permitted it...
Gray - sitting behind me in court right now - whispers "that's not true"

Prosecution continues argument to support the gag order saying that the Goncalves family are potential witnesses for trial more specifically at sentencing. The order is not overly vague.
Prosecution: The total prohibition of extrajudicial statements is the best way to ensure a fair and impartial case…
Defense: It seems like no matter what someone says or does, it’ll be twisted as an attack on my client, the safest thing is to not have ppl talk to media..Don’t want someone to send media into a frenzy and send this case to a firing squad
JUDGE: will not decide today...he will review the briefings...and try to get decision out asap...
