Kohberger Trial: Evidence and Witness List Updates

Bryan Kohberger, accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, faces a trial where significant evidence, including a college paper demonstrating his knowledge of crime scenes, might be used against him. Prosecutors are considering calling Kohberger's family members as witnesses, which would preclude them from attending the trial. The defense's request for his family to have priority seating has been contested by prosecutors, who argue that while victims' families have the right to attend, the same does not apply to the defendant's family. Kohberger's trial is set to commence in August 2023, and the prosecution is preparing a comprehensive case, including challenging the defense's attempts to suppress evidence. The judge has entered a not-guilty plea on Kohberger's behalf, and the death penalty may be pursued if he is convicted.
