Prosecutors in Idaho have fired back at Bryan Kohberger's 11th-hour attempt to delay his capital murder trial, furiously responding: 'It is time.'
The accused killer is due to go on trial this August charged with the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin and Madison Mogen in a horror knife attack in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022.
In a last-ditch bid to save him from the firing squad, the criminology PhD student's defense has now asked the judge to postpone the trial - citing a recent Dateline episode that revealed bombshell new details and pointed to a potential evidence leak in the case.
Now, in a new court filing, the state has pushed back, rubbishing claims a delay would make it easier to seat an impartial jury and blasting the defense for going down 'every rabbit hole.'
'Defendant’s Motion amounts to a request for a perpetual continuance so that his counsel can go down every rabbit-hole until Defendant - rather than the Court - deems himself ready for trial,' the filing, from prosecutor Bill Thompson, reads.
