Bryan Kohberger, the criminology Ph.D. student accused of stabbing four University of Idaho coeds to death, has had his defense team file a motion to move his trial from Latah County. The defense cites concerns over a 'mob mentality' within the county, claiming that the pressure to convict Kohberger is so intense that survey respondents expressed fears of violence if he were acquitted.
According to court documents, respondents in Latah County mentioned potential riots and threats against Kohberger's life if he were not convicted. The defense argues that this community sentiment creates a biased environment that warrants a change of venue.
