Bryan Kohberger waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing during a status conference Thursday morning. The Washington State University graduate student is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary, and has not yet entered a plea.
He appeared in court wearing an orange t-shirt and pants, and gave the judge short one-word answers when she asked him if he understood his rights during the roughly five-minute-long hearing.
Kohberger's attorney, Anne Taylor, told Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall that Kohberger was willing to waive his right to a speedy preliminary hearing, which would have required that it be held within two weeks. The hearing itself will likely take four or five days, Taylor said.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
“He's willing to waive timeliness to allow us time to obtain discovery in the case and be prepared,” Taylor told the judge. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson said he had no objection to waiting until June or even July for the preliminary hearing.The Nov. 13 slayings of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin left the rural community in Moscow, Idaho, grief-stricken and afraid, prompting nearly half of the university’s students to leave town for the perceived safety of online courses.
