University of Idaho Murder Trial Delayed

Bryan Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, will stand trial in June 2025. The trial, expected to last three months, has been delayed due to various pre-trial motions and the need for extensive evidence review. Kohberger's defense continues to seek a change of venue, arguing he cannot receive a fair trial in Latah County. Both the prosecution and defense agreed on the trial date, although they acknowledge that further changes could occur. If convicted, Kohberger faces the death penalty. The case has garnered significant public and media attention, especially from the victims' families, who have expressed frustration over the delays in the trial proceedings.
