Judge in Idaho murders trial orders change of venue for Bryan Kohberger

A judge has agreed to move the trial of Bryan Kohberger, the man charged in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students, to a different city.

In an order dated Friday, Idaho Second District Judge John C. Judge said he was concerned about Kohberger's ability to receive a fair trial at the Latah County courthouse in Moscow, given extensive media coverage of the case as well as statements by public officials suggesting Kohberger's guilt.

He also noted that the courthouse isn't big enough to accommodate the case and that the county sheriff's office doesn't have enough deputies to handle security. He did not specify where the trial would be moved.
