Accused quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger cannot appeal his trial judge’s refusal to dismiss his indictment in the Nov. 13, 2022, stabbings of University of Idaho students as they slept, the Idaho Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.

In December, one month after ruling that the eventual trial will be livestreamed on the court’s YouTube channel, the Latah County jurist presiding over the high-profile case, Judge John C. Judge, ruled against Kohberger’s defense by finding that the defendant was indicted by “an impartial grand jury who had sufficient admissible evidence to find probable cause” that he murdered Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Madison Mogen, 21, at an off-campus house on King Road in Moscow, leaving behind a grisly crime scene that his since been demolished. The judge additionally ruled that prosecutors “did not engage” in misconduct “in presenting their case” to the grand jury.
