Bryan Kohberger's motion to remove Judge Steven Hippler for bias gets argued before Judge Steven Hippler on October 15, 2026. Kohberger pleaded guilty under oath on July 2, 2025; his handwritten petition now says Anne Taylor's team coerced him, and his appointed lawyer Greg Rauch quotes Hippler's "faceless coward" sentencing speech as the proof of bias. This combined episode sets that fight beside two others where someone decided early. Gypsy Rose Blanchard called Ken Urker's death an overdose the day after he was found on October 1, 2026, with toxicology still pending; a 2025 prison call has her describing a knife and his headboard. Massachusetts ruled Sandra Birchmore a suicide in 2021 and withdrew it in April 2026 while Matthew Farwell stands trial in Boston. Four listener Q&A segments. Your questions on who had the authority, and who used it.

Judge Steven Hippler called Bryan Kohberger a "faceless coward" at sentencing, and Kohberger's new lawyer is using the sentence to argue Hippler can't judge him again. Greg Rauch's motion to disqualify gets argued October 15, 2026, in Hippler's courtroom. It says those remarks, plus Hippler's denial of a continuance six days before the July 2, 2025, guilty plea, show bias, and that a bench proceeding with no jury leaves no check on it. Rauch wants the case sent back to Latah County too. Kohberger told Hippler under oath he was guilty of killing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. His handwritten petition says he was coerced and that Anne Taylor's team failed him. Prosecutors want it dismissed. An amended petition is due in November; the evidentiary hearing is reserved for June 17, 2027. Your questions on the standard Rauch has to meet, what Taylor can say now, and the families back in the gallery.

Kohberger's team was set to argue that Judge Hippler should be removed from the post-conviction case. Hippler vacated the hearing the night before — and took every other date with it. The June status conference and June evidentiary hearing on the plea withdrawal are gone. The prosecution has asked Hippler to throw out the petition without any hearing, calling Kohberger's claims bare and conclusory. The defense cites Hippler's sentencing comments — that Kohberger was the worst of the worst and that nothing about him was redeeming — and wants the case moved back to Latah County. Family attorney Jason Goldman says this is the beginning of a longer fight. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins Tony to break down what the judge's move means, what the prosecution is trying to kill, and whether the families of Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan will ever see a final resolution.
