The murder trial of Bryan Kohberger, the criminology grad student accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in 2022, is set to begin June 2025, the parties to the case agreed in court Thursday.
Latah County Judge John Judge proposed the trial date as well as deadlines for other legal filings in the case. Both the prosecution and defense said the deadlines were “reasonable” and agreed, although the defense added that things could change depending on how the case progresses. Judge set aside about three months for the trial, including two weeks for jury selection, eight weeks for the trial, and two weeks for potential post-conviction death penalty hearings and sentencing.
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 related to the death penalty, a gag order, the use of investigative genetic genealogy and Kohberger’s proposed alibi. Several of the issues have still not been resolved. Judge said in April he wants a “hearing at least every month,” noting the importance of “cleaning up” the legal proceedings.
