Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, won’t be able to identify specific alternate suspects in his trial, narrowing their options to defend their client.

The judge presiding over Bryan Kohberger's case said a delay to the trial is "not warranted" in an order on Thursday.

Judge Steven Hippler said lawyers for Kohberger won't be permitted to present to the jury the theory that some unknown person is the real killer.
