We check in on the latest court hearings in the case of Bryan Kohberger who is accused of stabbing four U of I students to death in 2022.

Judge Steven Hippler ruled Wednesday that Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, can face the death penalty.

Four University of Idaho students were found dead in a home not far from the university campus two years ago on Nov. 13, 2022. Police determined they were victims of homicide, and did not identify and catch a suspect until the end of December in Pennsylvania.

Kohberger’s public defense team has attacked the death penalty from multiple angles, arguing it is arbitrary, unconstitutional, violates international law, and that waiting on death row for years or decades wondering if you’d get lethal injection or firing squad if the state couldn’t get the right drugs was unfair.

Bryan Kohberger, the man charged with murdering four University of Idaho students, now has a new trial date.

The murder trial for Bryan Kohberger will take place in Ada County, after a motion to change the venue was granted late last week. There were concerns about holding the trial in Latah County, where the crimes Kohberger is accused of took place, including media attention, space and public safety.

A motion to change the venue for Bryan Kohberger's upcoming trial was granted on Friday, Sept. 6.
