Kohberger's former jail guard called to testify in quadruple murder case as witness list grows
- Bryan Kohberger faces trial starting in August for fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in November 2022 at their off-campus home in Moscow.
- Kohberger's defense requested a trial delay citing vast evidence and media coverage, but the court rejected it, finding no sufficient cause for continuance.
- The court denied the defense's motion to present alternate perpetrator evidence due to lack of relevance and connection under Idaho's State v. Meister standards.
- Kohberger's trial will include witnesses from Pennsylvania, including a former jail guard, while media projects and a CBS podcast aim to cover the case in real time.
- The trial's outcome could include the death penalty, and the court plans to ensure fairness through thorough jury selection despite widespread publicity.
