Kohberger Trial Rescheduled to August 2025

The trial of Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022, has been rescheduled to begin on August 11, 2025, and is expected to last until November 7, 2025. Originally set for June 2025, the trial was delayed due to concerns over media coverage and jury impartiality, prompting a venue change from Latah County to Ada County. Kohberger, a former criminology student, faces four counts of first-degree murder and the death penalty if convicted. The trial will include a hearing on November 7, 2024, to address motions challenging the death penalty. The defense has cited the need for additional preparation time and the death of an expert witness as reasons for the delay. Jury selection will commence on July 30, 2025, with the trial proceedings scheduled to occur during weekdays only.
