MOSCOW, Idaho – The defense team for Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of killing four University of Idaho students, has requested a delay in his trial.
The motion to delay the trial was filed by the defense today. They argue that “any conviction and sentence resulting from a capital trial beginning in August 2025 will be unconstitutionally imposed and vulnerable to reversal.”
Kohberger’s attorneys cited “prejudicial” publicity and the extensive investigation still required as reasons for the requested delay.
The defense contends that the current timeline does not allow for a fair trial due to the ongoing investigation and public scrutiny.
The 40-page filing is still under review, and NonStop Local will continue to share more details as they become available. The full court document can be downloaded/viewed below:
