Idaho Murder Suspect to Appear in Ada County Court Next Week

Just days ago, after a top secret operation executed by Idaho law enforcement officials, Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, was transferred to Boise's Ada County Jail from Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger arrived by a small private plane owned by the Idaho State Police.

The move, of course, all stemmed from a recent ruling in Latah County by Judge John C. Judge. Judge Judge ruled in favor of Kohberger's defense team--stating that in order for a fair trial to take place, it should be given a larger jury pool. Ada County, the state's largest county, was chosen (as no surprise) by the Idaho Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of the State of Idaho changed up the following: 

• Kohberger's trial will be held in Boise, Idaho at the Ada County Courthouse
• District Judge Steven Hippler will now oversee the trial
• Bryan Kohberger will be transferred to the custody of the Ada County Sheriff

Since being moved to the Ada County Jail, Kohberger has not left the facility.

We now know that he will soon be in the Ada County Courthouse.

Next Thursday, September 26th, at 2:00 p.m. Kohberger will appear in court for a 'Status Hearing'. It will also be the first time he has been to this courthouse or left the Ada County Jail. There are about 5 miles between the jail and the courthouse so unlike his stay in Moscow where the jail was in the basement of the courthouse, he'll need to be transported by vehicle to his hearing.

The start date for the trial remains June of 2025 or until further notice.

We knew that the trial would be moved to one of these five locations
