Judge orders change of venue in trial of man charged with killing 4 University of Idaho students

 A tragic and high-profile case.

According to the article, a judge has ordered a change of venue in the trial of a man charged with killing four University of Idaho students. The victims, three female students and one male student, were found stabbed to death in an off-campus home on November 13, 2022.

The accused killer is Ethan Robinson, who was arrested shortly after the murders. He has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and is being held without bond.

The judge's decision to change the venue likely means that the trial will not take place in Moscow, Idaho, where the crimes were committed, but rather in a different location. The reason for the change is not specified in the article, but it could be due to concerns about pretrial publicity or potential jurors being influenced by the intense media coverage and local sentiment surrounding the case.

The investigation into the murders was highly publicized, with police releasing few details and leaving many questions unanswered. The case has garnered widespread attention and outrage from the community, making a fair trial potentially challenging.
