The trial for Bryan Kohberger, the criminology grad student accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in 2022, is scheduled to commence on June 2, 2025, as per a court order.
During a recent hearing, Judge John proposed the trial date along with deadlines for legal filings, which both the prosecution and defense deemed “reasonable” and agreed upon, albeit acknowledging potential adjustments as the case progresses.
Judge allocated approximately three months for the trial, including time for jury selection, the trial itself, and post-conviction hearings if necessary.
The court order specifies deadlines for motions challenging the death penalty, aiming for efficiency amidst the case’s complexity and ongoing legal maneuvers.
The proceedings have been marked by various motions and hearings concerning issues like the death penalty, genetic genealogy, and the defendant’s alibi.
Both the court and the families of the victims have expressed frustration over the prolonged pre-trial process, urging for clearer timelines and resolutions.
