Lawyers for the man accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in 2022 are urging a judge to move his murder trial out of the county. They say intense media coverage and public interest make it impossible for him to get a fair trial, so it should be moved to Boise, almost 300 miles away.
FILE - Bryan Kohberger, right, is escorted into a courtroom for a hearing in Latah County District Court, Sept. 13, 2023, in Moscow, Idaho . Lawyers for Kohberger, the man accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, are urging a judge to move his murder trial away from the county, arguing the intense media coverage and public interest make it impossible for him to get a fair trial.
In order to protect Kohberger’s constitutional right to a fair trial, it should be moved to Boise, she said.He has argued that the case has received national and international attention so taking it away out of the county would not affect a potential jurors’ familiarity with the case.
Kohberger has maintained his innocence. His defense lawyers have said in court documents that he was out driving alone the night of the killings, something he did often.
