爱达荷州法官为科伯格撤回认罪案设定时间表，暂定明年6月召开状态会议

爱达荷州第四司法区法官史蒂文·希普勒于周三上午发布书面命令，为布莱恩·科伯格试图撤回认罪一案设定了案件推进时间表，但并未批准举行听证会，而是暂定明年6月召开状态会议 1。31岁的科伯格上月提交了一份手写请愿书，声称其律师操纵了认罪过程，从而要求撤回对四名大学生谋杀案的认罪 1。

科伯格此前因2022年在爱达荷州莫斯科市校园附近的出租屋内谋杀凯莉·贡萨尔维斯、伊桑·查平、扎娜·科恩德尔和麦迪逊·莫根，被判处四个连续终身监禁不得假释 1。针对此次撤回认罪的请求，法官要求双方必须在明年2月初之前披露包括专家在内的潜在证人 1。此外，希普勒法官警告双方必须严格遵守爱达荷州法院程序规则中的证据可采性标准，否则可能面临制裁 1。

Fourth District Judge Steven Hippler issued a written order on Wednesday morning establishing a timeline for Bryan Kohberger’s attempt to withdraw his guilty plea, but he did not grant a hearing and instead tentatively scheduled a status conference for next June 1. Kohberger, 31, is currently serving four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for the 2022 murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen at a rental home near the campus in Moscow, Idaho 1. Last month, Kohberger submitted a handwritten petition requesting to withdraw his plea, alleging that his attorneys manipulated him into pleading guilty 1.

Under the newly established schedule, both sides are required to disclose potential witnesses, including experts, by early February 1. Additionally, Judge Hippler warned the parties that they must strictly adhere to the admissibility standards outlined in the Idaho Court Administrative Rules, cautioning that failure to comply could result in sanctions 1.
