Bryan Kohberger's Trial Moved to Boise

The Idaho Supreme Court has ruled that the trial of Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, will take place in Boise, Ada County, rather than Latah County, where the crimes occurred. The decision follows concerns raised by Kohberger's defense about potential bias among Latah County residents due to extensive media coverage, with surveys indicating a 'mob mentality' against him. The family of victim Kaylee Goncalves expressed disappointment with the venue change, believing a fair jury could still be found locally. District Judge Steven Hippler will preside over the trial, which is scheduled to begin on June 2, 2025. If convicted, Kohberger faces the possibility of the death penalty. The case has garnered significant national and international media attention.
