Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty last year to the murders of four University of Idaho students, is granted additional court dates as he pursues efforts to withdraw his guilty plea. Multiple outlets report that an Idaho judge sets or schedules hearings in his post-conviction challenge, with at least one evidentiary hearing planned for next year.
The coverage also describes Kohberger’s claim that his plea was not voluntary, saying he was told by his attorneys to lie when he accepted the plea deal. One account notes that he filed for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, with dates on the calendar, though the exact timing and whether hearings are guaranteed are portrayed differently across outlets. Some reports emphasize procedural steps and deadlines, including that the judge warns attorneys on both sides about how new evidence will be handled under a strict legal standard, and that Idaho may seek a quicker dismissal.
