A trial date of June 2, 2025, has been set for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in an off-campus house.
The trial is expected to run until Aug. 29, 2025, precluding Juneteenth and the Fourth of July.
The defense still wants a change of venue, which has not yet been determined. If the venue changes, the trial date should still hold, Judge John Judge said.
The parents of 21-year-old victim Kaylee Goncalves had been desperate for a date to be set, telling ABC News in January their family is “in limbo” until trial begins.
“We got to get this case over,” Steve Goncalves said. “Let’s do it. Let’s stop playing these delay tactics, let’s just get it done.”
The Goncalves family said in a statement Thursday, “We are hopeful the trial stays in Latah County so as not to disrupt the scheduling order and we are praying for no more delays. We moved a little closer to justice today for Kaylee, Maddie, Xana and Ethan.”
