Kohberger is accused of killing four University of Idaho students at an off-campus home in November 2022. Kohberger's Defense team has been arguing for a change of venue in this case since January of this year. Experts were brought in by the Defense to help determine whether or not a fair jury could be found in Latah County.
In the written ruling issued last week, Judge Judge left the decision of which district, and what judge would preside, up to the State Supreme Court. The Idaho Supreme Court Administrative Director issued a ruling ordering the case be moved to Ada County, and appointed a new presiding judge to oversee the trial moving forward.
Kohberger's Defense team filed a flurry of motions last week, many of which are aimed at removing the death penalty as an option based on different legal briefs and standards. Whether Judge Judge will rule on these orders or if the decision will be left up to the new presiding judge is not yet clear. We will continue to update this story as we learn more.
