The defense for Bryan Kohberger, the man charged in the Idaho college murders, is again pushing to change the location of the upcoming trial out of Latah County where they say the jury pool is biased against him. Now the prosecution is fighting back. NBC’s Liz Kreutz reports for TODAY.
Whether the criminology student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in late 2022 can get a fair trial in the same county where the killings took place will be the subject of a hearing Thursday that could alter the course of the case. Latah County District Judge John Judge will consider arguments to decide if the trial of Bryan Kohberger, tentatively set for next June, should be moved to Ada County, about 300 miles south and home to Idaho's capital, Boise.
In 2010, chief executive Jeffrey Skilling unsuccessfully challenged his fraud and conspiracy conviction, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg writing: 'Prominence does not necessarily produce prejudice, and juror impartiality, we have reiterated, does not require ignorance.' Still, the moving of highly anticipated criminal trials is not unheard of.
