The hearing will also cover a motion to compel discovery, whereby Kohberger's defense argues it has not been given all the reports, research and data on which expert prosecution witnesses will rely for testimony at trial.
The court has set aside Friday if all the motions are not covered by the close of business Thursday.
Kohberger is facing four charges of first-degree murder and felony burglary in the stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.
