Kohberger's former jail guard called to testify in quadruple murder case as witness list grows
- Bryan Kohberger is scheduled for a capital murder trial starting August 11, 2023, in Idaho for fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in November 2022.
- The trial delay request by Kohberger's defense cited vast undisclosed evidence, media leaks, and ongoing penalty-phase work, but the court found insufficient cause and denied it.
- The court rejected Kohberger's motion to present alternate perpetrator evidence, ruling it inadmissible under State v. Meister, and will focus on thorough voir dire to seat an impartial jury.
- Lead prosecutor Josh Hurwit said a delay places the state at the 'whim of the media,' while defense attorney Anne Taylor called the remaining evidence 'vast' and insufficiently reviewed.
- The case has drawn significant media attention including CBS’s 48 Hours podcast and docuseries, signaling strong public interest and challenges in ensuring a fair trial.
