爱达荷大学四重谋杀嫌疑犯布莱恩·科伯格将在受审根据爱达荷州最高法院的新裁决，在爱达荷州的首府博伊西。
在这个新的地点，一名新的法官，地区法官史蒂文·希普勒，被指派审理此案。
该案件的原法官周一裁定，该案件将移出犯罪发生地拉塔县，同意辩护律师认为拉塔县被审判前的宣传所玷污。
辩护律师对拉塔县居民进行了调查，并表示他们的结果发现“定罪的压力”表明Kohberger“如此严重”，以至于审判地点无法做到公正。
辩方称，一名被告回答说，如果他不被定罪，他们将“烧毁法院”。根据国防部的说法，同样的调查发现，住在博伊西附近的人的反应“少得多”，博伊西位于莫斯科以南约300英里。
控方表示，该案件具有国家和国际利益，该案件在博伊西已经被报道了很多，所以改变审判地点不会解决任何问题。
受害者凯莉·冈萨尔维斯的亲属不希望改变审判地点，他们说“他们觉得在拉塔县可以找到一个公平公正的陪审团”，他们认为在当地进行审判将有助于社区愈合。
Kohberger被指控于2022年11月13日凌晨在一所校外房子里致命刺伤了四名爱达荷大学的学生。
案发时，Kohberger是附近的华盛顿州立大学的犯罪学博士生，他被指控犯有四项一级谋杀罪和一项入室盗窃罪。他被判无罪。
审判定于2025年6月2日开始。
如果罪名成立，Kohberger可能面临死刑。
University of Idaho murder trial will be held in Boise, Idaho Supreme Court rules
The University of Idaho quadruple murder suspect, Bryan Kohberger, willstand trialin the capital city of Boise, Idaho, according to a new ruling from Idaho's Supreme Court.
With this new venue, a new judge, District Judge Steven Hippler, has been assigned to the case.
The original judge on the case ruled Monday that the case would be moved out of Latah County, where the crime took place, agreeing with thedefense who argued that Latah Countywas tainted by pretrial publicity.
Defense lawyers surveyed Latah County residents and said their results found the "pressure to convict" Kohberger was shown to be "so severe" that the venue couldn't be impartial.
The defense said one respondent answered they would "burn the courthouse down" if he were not convicted. The same survey, according to the defense, found "much less emotional" responses from people living closer to Boise, which is about 300 miles south of Moscow.
The prosecution has said the case has national and international interest, and that the case has been covered plenty in Boise, so a change of venue would not solve any problem.
The relatives of victim Kaylee Goncalves didn’t want the venue changed, saying they "felt that a fair and impartial jury could be found in Latah County," and they believed keeping the trial locally would help the community heal.
Kohberger is accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in an off-campus house in the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022.
Kohberger, a criminology Ph.D. student at nearby Washington State University at the time of the crime, was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf.
The trial is set to begin on June 2, 2025.
If convicted, Kohberger could face the death penalty.
