Bryan Kohberger is charged with four counts of murder in the deaths of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, the students who were stabbed at a rental home near their campus in Moscow, Idaho. A judge has entered a not-guilty plea on Kohberger's behalf.

Prosecutors argue the messages, which were released in court documents, should be allowed as evidence in the trial of Bryan Kohberger on four counts of murder.

The documents show two of the surviving roommates discussing the alleged appearance of a masked man leaving the house where four University of Idaho students were found fatally stabbed.
