Idaho college killings: Prosecutors ask for Bryan Kohberger's trial to be set for summer 2024.
Prosecutors leading the case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four Idaho college students last fall, are asking for his trial to be scheduled for the summer of 2024, and that the timeframe of the trial steers clear of the academic calendar for all area high schools and universities.
In a new filing Thursday, prosecutors note Moscow High School's close proximity to the courthouse -- especially in light of the expected media presence and other increase in activity whenever the capital murder trial does kick off -- and want to preserve public safety and convenience as much as possible.
Prosecutors also said Kohberger's team has already had enough opportunity to offer an alibi, and asked that the judge consider the matter addressed and closed.
They also asked that deadlines be set for both parties to complete discovery, pretrial motions and to disclose who they're planning to call for expert witnesses, as well as for jury questionnaire proposals, jury instructions, and the like.
The trial was originally set to begin on Oct. 2 and was indefinitely delayed after Kohberger waived his right to a speedy trial.
