An Idaho judge has denied a request from prosecutors to administer a personality test to Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. Kohberger is facing charges related to the deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in November 2022.
The prosecution argued that a personality assessment was needed as part of their ongoing investigation and preparation for trial. However, the judge ruled against the request, providing no further details on the reasoning behind the decision.
Kohberger's defense team has not publicly commented on the ruling. The trial is currently scheduled to begin in August, and Kohberger maintains his innocence. The case has drawn national attention, and the legal proceedings are expected to be closely watched.
