Overview

• 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.
