We think there will be a trial this August in the State of Idaho vs. Bryan Kohberger quadruple murder case.
It was Nov. 13, 2022 when Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were discovered murdered at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho. The slayings of the four University of Idaho students shook the community and beyond. 
Shortly after Christmas, Kohberger, a Washington State University grad student, was arrested across the country in Pennsylvania for the four murders and a charge of felony burglary.
Given Kohberger refused his right to a speedy trial, the case has dragged on some two and a half years. If the trial does begin in early August, it will be a welcome relief for many people.
That said, what questions would you have in this case if you were a sitting jury member later this summer?
Among the questions I would want answered by the prosecution and defense would be the following:
- Why did BK as it appears take a photo of himself at home in his bathroom only hours after the m*rders took place? I take my share of selfies over time. That said, I know of only one of mine taken in the bathroom and I was being goofy in the photo.
- Did any female students at Washington State University where BK was a grad student ever report him to be creepy or even st*lking them?
- Why was a knife used in the m*rders and not a gun? While a gun certainly can make more noise at the moment it is fired, many people can be taken out with a single bullet. A knife attack unless hitting a main artery or slashing the throat tends to be messier and can be noisier. That is especially if the victim is trying to fight back.
- Is there any video or cell phone photos of Xana and Ethan from approximately 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 12-13? They were reportedly at his frat for a period of time. Xana’s dad also supposedly talked to her at some point by phone then.
- What is it that Maddie supposedly told bartender Adam as has been oftentimes mentioned? Was it something that could have led to one or more individuals wanting to harm her?
- What is the best guess to the order of the four dying? Knowing the order could better define if one of the four was in fact the intended target.
- Could any of the four possibly been saved with immediate medical attention? Given all the commotion going on in the middle of the night, was Dylan aware or not something bad had happened? She supposedly saw a masked intruder in the home. If that is true, why not go check on your roommates once safe to do so and not nearly eight hours later? My gut still tells me that one or more of the victims likely bled out. I doubt we will truly ever know if one or more had a chance if given fast help. Even the medical experts can’t say with 100 percent certainty.
- Finally, why did no neighbors apparently hear or see anything when the m*rders went down? Although the reported timeline was the middle of the night, that neighborhood is very condensed. One would think someone heard or saw something coming from the area of the home.
If you were a juror and talking in a closed sessions with your fellow jurors, what would you want most to know or have clarified before rendering a verdict?
