Idaho judge schedules June 2027 hearing for Kohberger post-conviction bid

An Idaho judge set an evidentiary hearing for June 17, 2027 (with a status conference on June 3, 2027) to hear Bryan Kohberger’s petition for post-conviction relief from his four-life-sentence conviction for the University of Idaho murders. Kohberger alleges his confession was false and coercion influenced the plea, while prosecutors argue the petition raises no genuine issues and note he waived rights to appeal as part of the plea deal.
