Kohberger Seeks to Void Guilty Plea | US News

Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students and received four life sentences, is now seeking to withdraw that plea — with a new court date set for October 15th. His current legal team is pushing to have Judge Steven Hippler removed from the case, arguing his prior defense pressured him into the deal and withheld critical evidence. They’re also requesting the trial be moved from Ada County to Latah County, citing media bias. Prosecutors are resisting, pointing to Kohberger’s own courtroom admissions. If successful, Kohberger could face a new trial — and possibly the death penalty again — with a key status conference and evidentiary hearing scheduled for June 2027.
