The judge overseeing Bryan Kohberger's upcoming quadruple-murder trial says he wants to identify anyone who may have violated a gag order by leaking information from the investigation to news organizations or anyone else not directly involved with the case.

Bryan Kohberger, the former criminology grad student accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, appeared in court Thursday morning in one of the last pretrial hearings before the start of his much-anticipated trial.

Hippler said that the trial is set to begin on August 11 and is expected to take three months, according to News Nation correspondent Brian Entin on X, formerly Twitter. The judge also laid out times and dates for the trial, saying they will go Monday through Friday from 8:45 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. local time.
