Idaho prosecutors say a man charged in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students shouldn’t be allowed to offer an alibi defense unless he takes the stand himself during the murder trial later this year.
Attorneys for a man charged with murder in connection with the killings of four University of Idaho students are asking a judge to throw out most of the evidence in the case.
The Idaho Supreme Court ordered to transfer the trial to Boise in response to a ruling that said extensive media coverage of the case would make it doubtful that he would receive a fair trial.
The judge issued an April 17th date for both sides to provide supplemental information to the court before he makes a decision on when and where the jury trial will be held.
Back in August of 2023, defendant Bryan Kohberger filed a motion to remove cameras from the courtroom. Since then, a coalition of media outlets filed two motions to intervene in the case, but they were denied.
DNA will play a key role as prosecutors have filed court documents calling Kohberger's DNA a statistical match to a knife sheath found at the crime scene.
