MOSCOW, Idaho – The man accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death in Nov 2022 will appear in court for another motion hearing.

In this hearing, Judge John Judge is expected to schedule a trial date for 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger. During Kohberger’s hearing on Jan. 26, Judge Judge said he would decide later. The prosecution argued to have the trial this summer, but Kohberger’s defense wanted it pushed out to at least another year.

The family of one of the victims, Kaylee Goncalves, was visibly upset that a trial wasn’t set, later taking to social media and saying, “we have no words.”

The hearing scheduled for Feb. 28 will also address several motions filed by the defendant.

The court will respond to his motion to clarify the disclosure of the investigative genetic genealogy material (IGG). They will also address granting certain members of Kohberger’s defense team access to the investigative genetic genealogy material.

The hearing, scheduled for Feb. 28 at 1 p.m., will be open to the public and livestreamed on the court’s YouTube channel.
