Trial Date Set for Idaho Quadruple Homicide Suspect Brian Kohberger

Tragedy struck and the world couldn't believe their eyes when headlines printed. Four University of Idaho students murdered in the quiet of night -- all stabbed to death -- and not a witness or clue in sight.

The entire globe followed the investigation and it was the story around the world. A house just steps away from the campus of the University of Idaho became a fixture on the nightly news and after weeks of investigation, an arrest was made across the country, in Pennsylvania.

Brian Kohberger has been in custody, accused of these murders, ever since.

This morning, June 27th, in Moscow, Idaho, a hearing was held to set a date for the trial--nearly 2 years after the crime.

Deadlines were set for many different pieces of the trial--including hearings and different types of evidence and discovery reviews.

The quick hearing, which lasted under a half an hour, resulted in a target date of June, 2025, to begin Kohberger's trial.

Both the State of Idaho's prosecution and Kohberger's defense team shared different takes on the target date--the State of Idaho pointing out that summer is a must because of the high school which is across the street from the courthouse (and the trial is expected to cause quite a ruckus in town). The Defense agreed to the June target date for trial--but made sure that the court knew it is their intent to fight for a "change of venue" -- presumably wanting the trial to take place in Boise, where there is a larger jury pool.

In the end, however, June 2025 feels like a realistic start date for the trial.

Judge John Judge expects it to go for 3-months. We anticipate the entire world will be watching.
