Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, is seeking to change his trial venue from Latah County to Boise, citing a biased jury pool due to extensive media coverage. His defense conducted surveys indicating a lack of impartiality in Latah County, but prosecutors argue that the surveys do not warrant a venue change, as similar media exposure exists statewide. They contend that a fair jury can still be seated in Latah County and emphasize the logistical burdens a change would impose on witnesses and participants. The prosecutors' objections highlight that Kohberger's claims of an 'utterly corrupted' environment are unfounded. A hearing regarding the change of venue is scheduled for August 29, with the trial set to commence next June. If convicted, Kohberger could face the death penalty.
