Mega Edition: Judge Hippler Denies Bryan Kohberger's Continuance (8/14/26)

Judge Steven Hippler denied Bryan Kohberger’s request to postpone his 2025 murder trial, finding that the defense had not demonstrated good cause for another continuance. Kohberger’s attorneys had argued that they needed additional time to prepare because of the enormous volume of discovery, difficulties interviewing potential witnesses, preparation required for both the guilt and possible penalty phases of the death-penalty case, and intense pretrial publicity they believed could prejudice prospective jurors. Hippler rejected those arguments and kept jury selection scheduled for August, concluding that the defense had been given substantial time to prepare and that the circumstances presented did not justify pushing the proceedings back again.

Hippler also rejected the defense argument that delaying the trial would allow publicity surrounding the case to cool down. He reasoned that the opposite could occur: because public interest in the murders had remained extraordinarily high, another postponement would simply create more time for speculative stories, television programs, books and other coverage to circulate before jurors ever heard the evidence in court. Hippler emphasized that the public and the victims’ families had already waited years for the case to be resolved and determined that continuing the trial would not necessarily produce a fairer jury pool. His ruling therefore left the defense preparing for the scheduled August 2025 trial rather than receiving the additional months it had requested.
