Bryan Kohberger’s attorneys have filed a new court document outlining his alibi defense in the murder case where he is accused of killing four University of Idaho students. According to the 10-page filing submitted by his lead attorney, Anne Taylor, Kohberger claims he was out driving in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, the day of the deadly knife attack. The defense states that Kohberger often went for drives to hike, run, and appreciate the moon and stars in the area south of Pullman, Washington, west of Moscow, Idaho, including Wawawai Park.
The alibi defense filing also mentioned that Kohberger’s defense team plans to call an expert witness specializing in cell tower data to support the alibi. This sheds new light on Kohberger’s initial alibi statement from last year, where his attorneys stated that he was on an overnight drive alone the morning of the students’ deaths. Kohberger, who has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary in connection with the stabbings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, has consistently maintained his innocence in the case.
The four University of Idaho students were found dead in an off-campus home on November 13, 2022, leading to Kohberger’s arrest and subsequent legal proceedings. Kohberger’s defense team has been working diligently to establish his alibi and present evidence supporting his whereabouts on the day of the murders. Newsweek reached out to Anne Taylor for comment on behalf of Kohberger, indicating that this is a developing news story that will be updated as new information becomes available.
Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and fostering meaningful dialogue in the pursuit of common ground. The case of Bryan Kohberger and the murder of four University of Idaho students represents a complex and tragic legal situation that continues to unfold.
