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 recent scheduling hearing. The hearing, held more than a year after the 2022 massacre and 13 months after Kohberger's arraignment, addressed various scheduling issues.
During the hearing, attorneys were directed to prepare for upcoming challenges, such as setting a time for the defense to contest 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.
