Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students, claims he was driving south of Pullman, Washington, and west of Moscow, Idaho, the night of the slayings for hiking and stargazing. His defense intends to present a cellphone tower and radio frequency expert to support this alibi. Prosecutors and defense lawyers are under a gag order, awaiting more evidence disclosure. Idaho law requires defendants to specify alibis in writing. Kohberger's attorneys have indicated his intent to present an alibi defense in the high-profile case.
The murder trial for Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, is likely to be delayed until 2025 due to legal wrangling over issues like the admissibility of evidence, change of venue, and public perception. Kohberger's defense plans to call over 400 witnesses and requested a cell tower investigation to build an alibi, potentially further delaying the trial. Prosecutors oppose providing extra time, expressing concern over the defense potentially forming an alibi based on discovery material. The victims were fatally stabbed in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho.
Bryan Kohberger, charged with four counts of murder in Idaho, had his trial delayed after a hearing where arguments for trial scheduling and a change of venue were discussed. Prosecutors seek the death penalty if he is convicted. Defense requested a trial date of Summer 2025, while prosecutors wanted a trial date this summer. A hearing in May will determine the trial location due to concerns about publicity impacting potential jurors. Kohberger denies the killings and no trial date has been set. The trial is expected to last 12 to 15 weeks.
The Idaho Supreme Court denied a pretrial appeal by Bryan Kohberger's lawyers to throw out the grand jury indictment in his quadruple-murder case involving the murder of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. Kohberger's legal team argued that the grand jury improperly indicted him on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. The ruling did not provide legal reasoning for the denial. The defense team also sought to delay the trial until 2025 and move the trial out of Latah County due to pretrial publicity. Kohberger faces the death penalty if convicted.
In the early hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were fatally stabbed in an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. On December 30, 28-year-old Bryan Christopher Kohberger was arrested in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
The Idaho murder suspect is making a mockery of our justice system. And the system itself is playing along. How can this be happening? Will anyone think of the families? The survivors who live in a suspended state of anguish? Fourteen months after Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the savage murders of four University of Idaho students in their off-campus home, his trial has been delayed yet again until March 2025 and, perhaps, even later. This is outrageous. Clearly Kohberger's public defender is seeking to delay by any means necessary.

Skylar Meade and Nicholas Umphenour, both Idaho inmates, along with a woman, Tia Garcia, are facing preliminary hearings for their involvement in an escape and subsequent murders. The inmates, linked to a white supremacist prison gang, escaped during an armed ambush at a Boise hospital. They are also suspected in the deaths of two men in Clearwater and Nez Perce counties. Umphenour faces additional charges of aggravated battery on officers. The escapees are held on $2 million bail each. Bryan Kohberger's defense raised concerns of public bias due to juror surveys.
Chad Daybell, accused of killing his first wife and his second wife's two children, faces a capital murder trial after his second wife, Lori Vallow, was convicted of murdering her children in a doomsday plot. Prosecutors claim Daybell and Vallow believed the children were 'dark spirits' and 'zombies.' Daybell's trial includes allegations of pursuing ambitions driven by greed and desire, resulting in the deaths of his wife and children. Defense argues against his involvement, shifting blame to Vallow's deceased brother. Daybell faces the death penalty if convicted.
Federal prosecutors charged 18-year-old Alexander Scott Mercurio with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State group after planning to attack churches in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho using a metal pipe, butane fuel, a machete, and potentially his father's guns. Mercurio, who adopted the Muslim faith against his Christian parents' wishes, was in contact with FBI informants posing as Islamic State group supporters. He intended to incapacitate his father, steal his guns, and carry out the attack, as revealed in an FBI agent's statement.
Christine Jenneiahn, an 85-year-old woman in Idaho, shot and killed a burglar who broke into her home, handcuffed her, and threatened to kill her multiple times. The burglar, Derek Condon, had hit Jenneiahn in the head, demanded valuables, and discovered her disabled son in the house. Jenneiahn, using a hidden revolver, shot Condon twice in self-defense after he threatened her. Condon shot back, injuring Jenneiahn, but ultimately died in her kitchen. Jenneiahn survived, was found by her son, and called 911 for help. The incident was ruled as a justifiable homicide under Idaho law.
