Kohberger denied appeal to dismiss indictment

MOSCOW, Idaho (CNN) - UPDATE: The murder case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in their off-campus house in November 2022, will proceed.

In Friday court hearings, the judge in the case heard arguments from Kohberger’s defense team.

They were asking for reconsideration of the denial to dismiss the indictment against their client.

Prosecutors are hoping for a trial start date of sometime this year.

However, Kohberger's attorney said summer of 2025 would be the earliest the defense could be ready for trial if it is held in Latah County.

In the meantime, the defense plans to file a motion to change the venue.

The judge, acknowledging the impact the delay has on the families of the victims, said March 2025 is a possibility.

Friday's hearings will focus on Kohberger's attempts to have the indictments dismissed.

The parents of Kaylee Goncalves say they're hoping a trial date will be set quickly and they support the prosecutor's recommendation of a summer trial.
