A judge this week declined to throw out key evidence against the man charged in the killings of four University of Idaho students near the campus two years ago
A judge has cleared the way for Bryan Kohberger's murder trial, set to begin in August in Boise, Idaho, regarding the 2022 killings of four University of Idaho students. The trial location was moved from rural Idaho due to concerns about bias. The judge rejected the defense's argument that the use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) violated Kohberger's rights. Kohberger, a former criminal justice student, was arrested in Pennsylvania weeks after the murders. The prosecution is seeking the death penalty, and a gag order is in place for the trial.
