Idaho judge rejects Bryan Kohberger's request to delay murder trial in college student stabbings

  • District Judge Steven Hippler denied Bryan Kohberger's latest request to delay his capital murder trial set in Boise, Idaho, this summer.
  • The motion to delay was based on the defense needing more time to review discovery and prepare mitigation evidence amid extensive media coverage.
  • The trial stems from Kohberger's November 2022 indictment for the murders of four students attending the University of Idaho at an off-campus residence in Moscow.
  • Judge Hippler issued a 20-page order rejecting the delay, ruling the defense's alternate perpetrator theory is irrelevant and the case should proceed as scheduled.
  • Jury selection will start August 4, and opening statements are now set for August 18, after the trial's one-week postponement, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty if convicted.
