MOSCOW, Idaho — During Wednesday afternoon's hearing over the case of the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, Latah County Judge John Judge made no decision on surveys for potential jurors moving forward.
In addition, the judge decided to push back the change of venue hearing to Thursday, June 27, 2024.
This came after a heated discussion between both sides on whether suspect Bryan Kohberger's attorneys violated a gag order after a trial consultant they hired asked questions of potential jurors in Latah County.
Kohberger is charged with the first-degree murders of Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen. The four were found stabbed in a home near the University of Idaho campus on Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger was arrested one month later in Pennsylvania and has been in the Latah County Jail ever since.
Since his arrest, Kohberger has been indicted by a grand jury and chose to stand silent at his arraignment. Last year, the state of Idaho filed intent to seek the death penalty against Kohberger. His trial date has yet to be set.
