Idaho judge grants Bryan Kohberger two hearings next year as admitted killer seeks to withdraw guilty plea

Convicted quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger, who admitted to stabbing four University of Idaho students a year before he proclaimed his innocence and asked to withdraw his guilty plea, has been granted two days in court next year as part of his petition for post-conviction relief.

Judge Steven Hippler, who accepted Kohberger's guilty pleas in July 2025, set a status conference for June 3, 2027, and an evidentiary hearing two weeks later on June 17 of that year, according to a court order dated Wednesday.
