Bryan Kohberger's Murder Trial Moved to Boise
News summary

Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022, has had his trial moved from Latah County to Ada County due to concerns over media coverage and community bias. The Idaho Supreme Court ruled that Kohberger's trial will be held in Boise, approximately 300 miles from the crime scene, with 4th District Judge Steven Hippler presiding. Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and a felony burglary charge, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty if convicted. His defense argued the small jury pool and emotional local atmosphere would hinder his right to a fair trial, while prosecutors contended they could find impartial jurors in Moscow. The trial is scheduled to begin between June 2 and August 29, 2025, and will take place in a courthouse equipped to handle high-profile cases. Kohberger, who was a criminal justice student, remains in custody without bail during the proceedings.
