Crime / Bryan Kohberger Bryan Kohberger Moved to Boise Jail Trial moved to Boise over concerns of an unbiased jury By Newser.AI Read our AI policy Posted Sep 15, 2024 3:01 PM CDT Copied Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, is escorted into court for a hearing in Latah County District Court, Sept. 13, 2023, in Moscow, Idaho. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, Pool, File) Bryan Kohberger, accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, has now been booked into a Boise jail after his trial was moved from Moscow, Idaho. The Idaho Supreme Court relocated the trial due to concerns that media coverage and emotional local sentiment would hinder the selection of an unbiased jury. Kohberger faces four counts of murder for the deaths of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves on Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger stood silent when requested to plead last year, leading a judge to enter a not-guilty plea on his behalf. The new trial location in Boise is roughly 300 miles from Moscow. Prosecutors argued against the move, asserting it causes inconvenience to victims' families and suggesting they could find impartial jurors in Moscow with a large selection pool. Prosecutors have announced their intention to seek the death penalty if Kohberger is found guilty. The trial has been scheduled to commence in June 2025.
