Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger seek dismissal of Idaho slayings indictment

Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, have filed a motion to dismiss his indictment, arguing that the grand jury was misled about the standard of proof required. They claim the grand jury was erroneously instructed with the standard of proof for a "presentment" rather than "beyond a reasonable doubt." If the judge denies the motion, Kohberger's defense team has requested a new preliminary hearing. Kohberger's trial is tentatively set to begin on October 2. DNA evidence has linked him to the crime scene, but his attorneys suggest they have evidence placing him elsewhere.
