Those hoping for swift justice for the alleged killer of four University of Idaho students will have to wait until June for his criminal trial to begin. A Latah County judge determined Thursday that Bryan Kohberger, 28, won’t be back in court for his preliminary hearing until June 26 at 9 a.m. local time. In the meantime, Kohberger—who told the court Thursday he’d waive his right to a speedy preliminary hearing—will be held at the Latah County Jail without bail.
