Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the Monroe County man charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students, are asking a judge to throw out most of the evidence in the case.

Bryan Kohberger’s team is attempting to have nearly all the evidence collected by police against the accused murderer thrown out by challenging the legality of search warrants.

Bryan Kohberger was charged with four counts of murder in the first degree and felony burglary for allegedly killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022.

The judge is set to issue a ruling on DNA evidence that prosecutors say ties Bryan Kohberger to the murder scene.

Hippler was appointed to oversee the trial, replacing Judge John Judge, when the trial moved from Latah County to Boise after the defense successfully argued that he would not have an impartial jury in the tight-knit community of Moscow because of the extensive media coverage potentially tainting the jury pool.
