Murder In Moscow: Bryan Kohberger's Trial Is Delayed After He Waives His Right To A Speedy Trial

Bryan Kohberger’s capital murder trial had been indefinitely postponed after he waived his right to a speedy trial less than two months before the proceedings were scheduled to begin. Kohberger had originally been set to go to trial on Oct. 2, 2023, in the killings of University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. His lead public defender, Anne Taylor, told the court that the defense did not have enough time to adequately prepare for a case involving an enormous amount of evidence and the possibility of the death penalty. Judge John Judge repeatedly confirmed that Kohberger understood the right he was surrendering before accepting the waiver, while Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson described the decision as a sensible move given the complexity of the case.

The waiver eliminated the October trial date and made it unlikely that the case would reach a jury before sometime in 2024. Defense attorneys said they wanted the eventual trial date reset only once and indicated that several major issues still had to be resolved, including challenges to the grand jury indictment, efforts to remove the death penalty and disputes over cameras in the courtroom. The delay frustrated members of the victims’ families, particularly the Goncalves family, who said they feared the case could now drag on for years, although they acknowledged that additional time would allow both sides to prepare. All previously established pretrial deadlines were vacated, leaving the timing of the trial dependent in part on how Judge ruled on the defense’s pending motions.
