  "summary": "The Idaho judge, Fourth District Judge Steven Hippler, has established a timeline for Bryan Kohberger's attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in the murders of four University of Idaho students. The judge set a date for next June for an evidentiary hearing, should he determine it is warranted. In the meantime, both prosecutors and Kohberger's new attorney, Greg Rauch, must adhere to the Idaho Rules of Court Procedure and present only admissible evidence at the hearing. Kohberger, 31, is currently serving four consecutive life sentences for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen in 2022.",
