Prosecutors Object to Kohberger Trial Venue Change
News summary

Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, is seeking to change his trial venue from Latah County to Boise, citing a biased jury pool due to extensive media coverage. His defense conducted surveys indicating a lack of impartiality in Latah County, but prosecutors argue that the surveys do not warrant a venue change, as similar media exposure exists statewide. They contend that a fair jury can still be seated in Latah County and emphasize the logistical burdens a change would impose on witnesses and participants. The prosecutors' objections highlight that Kohberger's claims of an 'utterly corrupted' environment are unfounded. A hearing regarding the change of venue is scheduled for August 29, with the trial set to commence next June. If convicted, Kohberger could face the death penalty.
