In a recent court filing, defense attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death, revealed that he was on a solo drive around the time of the murders. This information was submitted after prosecutors requested Kohberger to disclose if he plans to present an alibi. Kohberger’s defense team stated that he frequently went for drives alone, particularly at night, and on the night of November 12 and into November 13, 2022, he was indeed on a drive.
It’s important to note that Kohberger’s attorneys did not specify his exact location during the drive nor provided any witnesses who could back his claim. They are still reviewing evidence from the investigation, including grand jury testimony transcripts, that might support Kohberger’s whereabouts. Consequently, they are unable to provide further details regarding potential witnesses and the testimony they can provide.
Under Idaho law, defendants are required to inform the prosecution if they intend to present an alibi defense, which asserts that they were elsewhere during the crime and can provide evidence and witnesses to confirm this. As for the case itself, Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson has expressed his intention to pursue the death penalty. The trial is scheduled for the fall, although it could be postponed.
The discovery of the bodies of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin on November 13, 2022, at a residence near the University of Idaho campus shocked the local community. Bryan Kohberger, who was pursuing a criminology degree at Washington State University as a graduate student, resided in the neighboring city of Pullman, Washington.
