1/2 On my way to Boise, Idaho for the Bryan Kohberger hearing Thursday in front of the new judge. His lawyers are requesting he get to wear "street clothing" -- claiming the jail jumpsuit "would impact the presumption of innocence."


2/2 His lawyers are arguing if potential jurors see him in the jumpsuit on the video feed- they will assume he is guilty. Kaylee Goncalves' family says this is a "hard no" for them. They understand he'll get to wear a suit during the trial, but don't think he should wear one now.

Judge just said defense request that Kohberger be allowed to wear street clothes will be taken up at a later date.


He’s asking state and defense to be professional during proceedings. Stakes are high, but attorneys need to adhere to their oaths.


Prosecutor Bill Thompson estimates Kohberger trial 1.5 months for state’s sentencing side. Taylor will need 4 to 6 weeks. In other words, it’s going to be a long trial. Set for entire length of summer 2025, which concerns judge.


Judge offers May or September start. Thompson picks May; Taylor prefers September.


Sounds like they are going to talk about deadlines in private before judge sets a trial date. Death penalty expert is the holdup.


Judge adjourns court, will talk to Taylor now. Thompson is hanging around in case a trial date can be set.

Kohberger hearing starting now.Apparently new judge granted Kohberger's request to wear "street clothes" because he is in a suit and tie.


Judge says Bryan Kohberger gets to appear in civilian clothes for "this hearing only."Says he will decide how to handle his clothing in the future after discussing with security officials who transport him.


Judge concerned about having the Kohberger trial in the summer - thinks it will be harder getting jurors willing to give up their entire summer. They are discussing other options.


Kohberger hearing over.Judge and lawyers are going to have a private discussion now about the 2025 trial date.Whether to have it before, or after summer.

We're minutes away from a new chapter in the University of Idaho murders case.
Suspect Bryan Kohberger will make his first appearance at the Ada County Courthouse in front of a new judge.

The hearing is underway: Judge Steven Hippler has just entered the room

Judge Hippler says the non-dissemination order remains in place and expects it to be "religiously adhered to." He says he "will not tolerate" violations of that.


Anne Taylor is addressing the June court date, now expressing concerns about the vast amount of discovery to sift through.
She says there's 398 GB of discovery.
She also says an expert who they were working with has passed away, and are working with a new one.


They're now discussing a trial date - each side giving an estimation on how long each phase might last.


Judge Hippler says the current trial dates, June 2-Aug 31, would be difficult because it run the entire course of the summer.
Hippler says it would be challenging for jurors, particularly with those with children out of school, vacations in place, etc.


Taylor won't disclose much about the expert who passed away, saying it would give away critical information for the case.


An ex parte is scheduled after this hearing with Judge Hippler and the defense. That's where one party meets with the judge without input from the other side.

We are at the Ada Co Courthouse for a status conference for Bryan Kohberger. He just entered the courtroom in a suit with handcuffs and shackles. This is his first appearance in Boise.


Kohberger is sitting next to his primary defense attorney Anne Taylor.


Ada Co Judge Steven Hippler issued order yesterday allowing Kohberger to appear in civilian clothes today but will take up his "street clothes" request again ahead of future hearings


Judge Hippler proposes two alternative start dates because a trial beginning in June could pose difficulty for jurors, particularly those w/ children. Hippler proposes May 2025 or Sept 2025. Prosecution wants a May start date. Defense asks for September bc an expert passed away.


Trial date will be taken up in ex parte hearing after this hearing. That's where one party - defense in this case - will be meeting with the judge. There are questions Anne Taylor didn't want to answer about this specific expert, who she says will present during mitigation phase.


Hearing is done. It was about 30 minutes. We expect Judge Hippler to issue a written order setting trial date after he meets with defense. Will keep you posted.
