Judge in Idaho murders trial orders change of venue for Bryan Kohberger
CBSN
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.
Treasures long forgotten by history have been uncovered beneath the surface in underground digs or hidden away in attics or storage spaces. In the case of a rare document nearly 237 years old, it was in a nondescript squat metal filing cabinet that had been sitting discarded and gathering dust in an eastern North Carolina home for who knows how long.
