Defense seeks change of venue for Kohberger's trial due to bias concerns in Latah County.
Bryan Kohberger's defense team is seeking a change of venue for his trial, set for June 2025, due to concerns about bias in Latah County where the 2022 murder of four University of Idaho students took place. The defense argues that a "mob mentality" and potential prejudice against Kohberger in the local community could jeopardize a fair trial. A hearing will determine whether the trial will be moved to a different location, such as Ada County, the state's capital and largest city. Prosecutors argue that a fair and impartial trial can be held in Moscow and criticized the survey findings used by the defense to support their change of venue motion.
