💨 Abstract

Judge Steven Hippler has ruled that Bryan Kohberger's immediate family members can attend his upcoming trial for the 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. This decision balances Kohberger's right to a public trial with the need for honest testimony from witnesses. Kohberger, a former criminal justice graduate student, faces the death penalty if convicted. The trial is set for August. The judge previously allowed victims' family members to attend.
