KOHBERGER DELAYS: Court Hearings Canceled as New Lawyer Seeks Judge Disqualification...

Three hearings for Bryan Kohberger have been unexpectedly canceled as his legal team signals a protracted post-conviction battle. Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 to stabbing four University of Idaho students to death in November 2022, accepting a deal that spared him the death penalty. A year later, he asked to withdraw the plea, claiming ineffective counsel and coercion. One vacated hearing was set to address his request to disqualify the judge overseeing the case, raising questions about whether the plea withdrawal effort will gain traction in court.
