Potential jurors in Bryan Kohberger's upcoming trial for the murders of four University of Idaho students have issued alarming warnings about public unrest if he is acquitted. Responses from Latah County residents included threats of violence, with one remarking, "They'd burn the courthouse down," indicating a strong bias against Kohberger. In contrast, prospective jurors from Ada County, where the trial's relocation is being requested, expressed more neutral sentiments, suggesting that the outcome would not significantly impact their lives. Kohberger's defense team argues that these responses highlight the need to move the trial to ensure an impartial jury, citing excessive media coverage in Latah County as a contributing factor to public sentiment. The defense's motion to relocate the trial is set for a hearing on August 29. The case has drawn significant national attention due to its brutal nature and the protracted investigation leading to Kohberger's arrest six weeks after the murders.
