Judge Denies Dismissal of Indictment in Idaho Student Killings Case

Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four university students, faces potential death penalty if convicted.

Bryan Kohberger, a Ph.D. student at Washington State University, is accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2023.
Kohberger's defense team filed motions to dismiss the indictment, alleging bias among the jurors and improper withholding of evidence by the prosecution.
Judge John Judge denied the motions, stating that the grand jury had sufficient evidence to find probable cause to believe Kohberger committed the crimes.
Kohberger's trial had initially been scheduled for October, but he waived his right to speedy proceedings and has focused on challenging the indictment and DNA evidence instead.
A new trial date has not been set, and Kohberger could face the death penalty if convicted.
