He asked the judge to carefully consider Stacy Chapin&#8217;s statement, describing &#8220;how incredibly harmful and emotionally damaging it is for her to see images of her son and the other victims. They&#8217;re in there, they&#8217;re just blurred \u2014 they&#8217;re harder to see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The commodification of the killings by a whole industry of people obsessed with crimes makes it even more important to consider how the families have been victimized again by the release of such gory images, James told the judge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Images like this are disseminated within an instant, worldwide,&#8221; James said, criticizing &#8220;this &#8216;true crime&#8217; sort of industry that uses this stuff for economic gain, and misuses it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Pluskal, an attorney representing the city of Moscow, said the city is required by law to release the images under the Idaho Public Records Act, and carefully weighed what to redact using the &#8220;balancing test&#8221; spelled out in the law, weighing the victims&#8217; right to privacy against the public&#8217;s right to know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If there were options allowed in statute that allowed these records to be fired into the sun,&#8221; the city would do it, Pluskal told the judge. He called the images &#8220;harrowing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But he said the city could have been sued if it refused their release, and redacting or blurring the images was its best attempt to follow the law.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The city is in the middle here \u2014 the city is going to get it from either side,&#8221; Pluskal told the judge.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall said she would consider both sides and issue a ruling at a later date.<\/p>\n<h2>Kohberger behind bars<\/h2>\n<p>Kohberger said earlier this month he is <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bryan-kohberger-taunted-inmates-prison-idaho\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">being taunted<\/a><\/span> by fellow inmates at a maximum-security prison, the facility confirmed, and sources told CBS News prisoners have been heckling him through air vents night and day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are aware of Kohberger&#8217;s complaints about what he considers taunting,&#8221; the Idaho Department of Correction told CBS News in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Kohberger is at Idaho Maximum Security Institution (IMSI), which is less than 20 miles south of Boise. For his own safety, Kohberger is in the prison&#8217;s &#8220;J Block,&#8221; a long-term restrictive housing unit with around 30 inmates, where he is confined to his cell 23 hours a day and has one hour of outdoor recreation<\/p>\n<p>Chris McDonough, a retired detective and a director at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coldcasefoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cold Case Foundation<\/a>, has firsthand knowledge of the circumstances within the prison&#8217;s unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Kohberger arrived at IMSI in late July, inmates have been taking turns taunting him around the clock by yelling through air vents that lead into his cell, according to McDonough. The heckling has been so persistent that it has affected Kohberger&#8217;s ability to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think Bryan Kohberger anticipated the psychological play here from the inmates \u2026 It&#8217;s a curveball,&#8221; McDonough told CBS News. &#8220;As soon as he got there, it started \u2026 And he&#8217;s complained to the prison guards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Idaho Maximum Security Institution houses several notorious inmates \u2014 including two serial killers \u2014 and has been\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bryan-kohberger-idaho-prison-chad-daybell-serial-killers\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">plagued by reports<\/a><\/span>\u00a0of violence and allegations of inhumane conditions in recent years. Solitary confinement is common at the facility.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IMSI manages the long-term housing of our most dangerous and volatile population,&#8221; the Idaho Department of Correction told CBS News in an email last month. Asked about the use of solitary confinement and lockdowns, the department said, &#8220;Restrictive housing is not a disciplinary sanction, it is a housing assignment designed to manage specific behaviors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags
