The latest pre-trial developments in the case of Idaho quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger
CNN
Here’s a timeline of some of the notable pre-trial hearings and decisions in the quadruple murder trial against Bryan Kohberger.
The defense team of Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in their off-campus home in 2022, has requested to move the case out of town, saying in a recent memorandum he can’t receive a fair trial in Latah County because of “inflammatory” publicity. But prosecutors rejected that argument in a filing Tuesday, saying the court could put in place other measures to ensure a fair trial. The filings are the latest pre-trial developments in Kohberger’s quadruple murder trial, which is set to begin in June 2025. It’s been a long and winding road since the four students – Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen – were fatally stabbed in the overnight hours of November 13, 2022, at a home just off the school’s main campus in Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger, a Washington State University graduate student in criminology, was arrested in the killings on December 30, 2022, in his home state of Pennsylvania. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf in May 2023, and his attorneys have indicated the 29-year-old intends to present an alibi as part of his defense. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty. The progression of the case has been slowed by a series of pre-trial motions and hearings that have frustrated the family of one of the victims as well as the judge overseeing the case.
