An Idaho judge has blocked the public release of graphic crime scene photos related to the 2022 University of Idaho student murders. Second District Judge Megan Marshall ruled that showing victims' bodies and surrounding blood would be an unwarranted invasion of privacy, ordering those portions to be blacked out. While some disturbing images will be withheld, other investigation records, including videos of distraught friends, will be made public, balancing public interest with the families' privacy and emotional distress.
