Somebody fumbled
They are up to something
Sick beyond belief!!! They should be ashamed of themselves!!! Absolutely shocking!!!
what ever happened to the tarot card lady?
This is BS! They needed to wait until after the trial
Greedy university.. its not about healing its about money!!! I hope this comes back to haunt the university of Idaho… Absolutely unbelievable to destroy the crime seen and all the evidence inside… They coulve left the house up unit the end of trial. Im curious to know the universitys actual reason… Conspiracys all over the place.. the family cant sue because there up against major money and top notch lawyers .. such a shame….
Shame on you university of Idaho!
“If the house isn’t lit, you must acquit”
Somehow, "Common Sense" was killed with George Floyd, or the BLM movement, or January 6th… heck, it might have been accidentally deported to Venezuela, but either way "Common Sense" is gone.
Who in their right mind would be ok with the destruction of potential evidence in the murders of 4 students, when the trial hasn't even started? No evidence should ever be destroyed until a conviction has been made, and all of the convicted individual has exhauted all appeals.
The families deserve closure and healing more than anyone. The school, other students, and community members have the luxury of viewing the house as a barrier to healing, while the families now view the absence of this crime scene as a barrier to justice. This demolishion was completely unnecessary at this time. They could have waited until the trial was over at least.
You have to knock it down. What are you gonna do charge $45 a month for rent who's going to live there? Not me….
U of I is worried about there enrollment not healing of students etc. come on they are back partying already. Life goes on. I feel the jury should have the option to visit the house and see for themselves experience the actual size and acoustics well that’s not going to happen.
Small town Superman syndrome. The Power of an educated Criminologist – The Problem is the “Aesthetic” appeal if he is convicted and sentence the stain or mark will forever be on that community academically “ HOW COULD THE SCHOOL PRODUCE A CRIMINALLY INSANE CRIMINOLOGIST?” So instead since the geo-political religious benefit of the community would be to silence the event by letting him go. It’s the better political move, however sending him to Boise moving courts and publicly viewing the trial through media, would Be politically beneficial to Idaho. IN THE END ITS A PARADOXICALLY TOUGH EVENT. The Parents deserve healing and the politics of it will rob them of Justice ❤
Jury walkthroughs are very rare and often are more an emotional piece rather than any physical testimony or evidence. The prosecution has more they are not saying (obvious reasons obvious when one family member runs right to the media causing an awful game of telephone) but honestly it’s the right call and everything people are worried about in the description of the property/missing evidence will come out in testimony.

PROOF HIDDEN ROOM, DURING DEMO
Just a small town that doesn't want to be known for a famous mass murder.
Someone needs to immediately get an injunction now to stop this
If I was on the jury and found out the house was torn down it would raise serious questions in my mind regardless of the evidence presented or not.
I'm confused, why does the community need healing? They are not the ones who lost loved ones. The families of the victims are the ones that need healing and closure. This should not have been demolished before the trial. This is crazy! The community can move on and the house should be demolished once the trial has ended and a verdict is given.
Kind of surprised they did this so quickly. They really should have waited until after the trial. It’s the school trying to prioritize profit and head count over justice.
It’s down
