Idaho Supreme Court Moves Bryan Kohberger's Trial to Boise
The decision comes after concerns that extensive pretrial publicity in Moscow would prevent a fair trial for the accused murderer.
- Bryan Kohberger is charged with the fatal stabbings of four University of Idaho students in November 2022.
- The Idaho Supreme Court has moved the trial from Latah County to Ada County, citing concerns over potential jury bias.
- District Judge Steven Hippler has been assigned to oversee the trial, replacing Judge John Judge.
- The trial is scheduled to begin in June 2025 and could result in the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted.
- Victims' families expressed disappointment over the venue change, fearing it would complicate their ability to attend the proceedings.
