Idaho Supreme Court Rejects Bryan Kohberger's Appeal, Trial to Proceed

The court's decision denies Kohberger's attempt to dismiss his grand jury indictment, paving the way for his trial to begin without further delay.

The Idaho Supreme Court has denied Bryan Kohberger's appeal to have his grand jury indictment for the murder of four University of Idaho students thrown out.
Kohberger's defense argued that the grand jury was improperly instructed on the standard of proof, but the court dismissed the appeal without providing a legal rationale.
The denial of the appeal allows for Kohberger's trial to be scheduled sooner, with a hearing for a motion to move the trial set for May 14.
Kohberger, a Ph.D. student, is accused of the brutal murders of four students in November 2022 and faces the death penalty if convicted.
The case has drawn significant attention, with Kohberger's defense team previously seeking to delay the trial and now attempting to move it to a different county.
