Bryan Kohberger, the 29-year-old former criminology Ph.D. student accused of killing four University of Idaho students, took a step closer to trial following a scheduling hearing held on Thursday. This hearing occurred more than a year after the 2022 massacre and 13 months after Kohberger's arraignment.
During the hearing, attorneys were directed to address various scheduling matters, including setting a time for the defense to challenge the death penalty and establishing pre-trial deadlines. Kohberger, dressed in a suit and tie, remained silent throughout the brief hearing, which concluded in under 20 minutes.
