Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger have accused investigators of mishandling key evidence and using aggressive search tactics in the case linking him to the killings of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. In court filings, the defense is asking the court to exclude evidence it claims was improperly obtained, including DNA, digital accounts, and information from expert witnesses. In recently submitted documents, Kohberger’s defense argues that investigative genetic genealogy—used to connect DNA collected at the crime scene to Kohberger’s family home in Pennsylvania—is both "unreliable and controversial." According to the defense, “The investigators’ methods show a disregard for protocols, effectively destroying the house to save the car, or some other evidence, from Mr. Kohberger’s rubber gloves.” Kohberger was arrested on Dec. 30, 2022, in Pennsylvania, following a month-long investigation into the Nov. 13 stabbings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The students were found dead in their rental home near the University of Idaho campus. Prosecutors have maintained that DNA collected from the crime scene matches Kohberger’s DNA, which was obtained from his family residence. Despite this claim, the defense is challenging the admissibility of such evidence, citing concerns over the reliability of investigative genetic genealogy. The defense has also taken issue with how investigators collected evidence from Kohberger’s digital accounts, including his Apple iCloud, Google, and Amazon profiles. These filings accuse the prosecution of failing to provide adequate disclosure regarding the experts expected to testify at trial, labeling the lack of transparency as a violation of due process. The defense team has requested that the court impose sanctions on prosecutors for their handling of discovery and pretrial evidence-sharing obligations. Kohberger, a former criminology student, was indicted last year on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. He chose to remain silent during his arraignment, prompting Latah County Judge John Judge to enter not guilty pleas on his behalf. The case, which was transferred to Ada County, is expected to move to trial in August. The parties are scheduled to return to court on Jan. 23 to address the defense’s allegations of evidence mishandling and procedural misconduct. As the trial date approaches, both sides are preparing for an intense legal battle over the validity of the evidence. The defense’s challenges, particularly regarding DNA and digital evidence, could significantly shape the outcome of this high-profile case. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #CriminalDefense #DNAEvidence #LegalChallenges #UniversityOfIdaho #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The courtroom drama surrounding Bryan Kohberger took a sharp turn this past week, as his defense team filed a motion that could reshape the trajectory of his trial. At the heart of the matter: allegations that the prosecution failed to provide full disclosure of expert opinions and reports, a requirement under Idaho’s Rules of Evidence. This legal battle, unfolding in the shadows of one of the most chilling murder cases in recent memory, underscores just how high the stakes have become. Kohberger, accused of the brutal slayings of four University of Idaho students, has steadfastly maintained his innocence. He now faces not just the weight of public scrutiny but also the potential for life-altering consequences if convicted. This latest motion, filed by his attorneys on December 27, 2024, alleges significant breaches of legal protocol by the prosecution. In a case where every detail matters, these allegations add a layer of complexity that could ripple through the proceedings for months to come. The defense’s motion calls out what they describe as the “bulk” of the state’s expert disclosures as being incomplete. Of the 25 experts listed by the prosecution, reports have been received from only five, leaving the defense scrambling to prepare rebuttals by the looming January 23 deadline. “This is a capital murder case,” the defense argued in their motion. “Compliance with the rules of discovery is not optional.” The implication is clear: without these expert reports, Kohberger’s team is operating at a significant disadvantage, unable to fully anticipate or counter the state’s evidence. To understand the gravity of this issue, it’s important to consider the role of expert testimony in a trial of this magnitude. Experts provide the scientific backbone for arguments about forensic evidence, behavioral analysis, and timelines of events. In a case as complex and emotionally charged as this one, their insights could tip the scales of justice. The defense’s claim that the prosecution’s disclosures are incomplete raises serious questions about fairness and due process. Prosecutors, meanwhile, have remained tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying the defense’s assertions. A request for comment from the Latah County prosecuting attorney’s office has, as of now, gone unanswered. But the silence may soon give way to a heated exchange in court, as both sides prepare for a pivotal hearing on January 23. This latest legal maneuver comes against the backdrop of Kohberger’s upcoming trial, set to begin on August 11, 2025. Jury selection is scheduled for late July, giving both sides a narrow window to resolve these procedural disputes. The stakes could not be higher. Kohberger’s life hangs in the balance, with the prosecution pursuing the death penalty. The legal wrangling also underscores the intense scrutiny this case has attracted. From the initial shockwaves of the murders in November 2022 to the subsequent investigation and arrest of Kohberger, every development has been dissected in the court of public opinion. Now, with the defense raising questions about procedural compliance, the case enters yet another contentious phase. The allegations also bring into focus the two surviving roommates, Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen, whose statements to police provided chilling details of the night of the murders. Mortensen described hearing unusual noises and seeing a masked figure in the early hours of that November morning. Her account, though harrowing, will likely be a cornerstone of the state’s case. The defense’s ability to challenge such testimony may hinge, in part, on the expert analyses they claim are missing. As the legal teams prepare for their next court showdown, the psychological toll on all involved is undeniable. For the victims’ families, each delay or procedural hiccup is a painful reminder of the justice they seek. For Kohberger’s defense, every missing piece of evidence feels like an uphill battle in a...

Bryan Kohberger was investigated for a home invasion eerily similar to the horrific crime he now stands accused of committing—the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students. The revelation, which emerged this week, has sent shockwaves through both the legal community and the public, raising profound questions about the odds of such coincidences and the investigative gaps that may have allowed a predator to escalate unchecked. The first case unfolded in October 2021, barely a year before the University of Idaho slayings, and less than 10 miles from the Moscow, Idaho, crime scene. A woman in Pullman, Washington, reported being awakened in the early morning hours by the sound of her bedroom door opening. She was met with a masked intruder armed with a knife. The assailant said nothing, his silence amplifying the terror. Acting with remarkable courage, the woman fought back, delivering a kick that sent the man stumbling before he fled through her closet and out of the home. The parallels between the two cases are impossible to ignore. Both crimes occurred in the dead of night when the victims were at their most vulnerable. In each instance, the perpetrator wore a mask and wielded a knife. The silent, calculated manner in which the Pullman assailant moved through the home mirrors the modus operandi alleged in the Idaho murders. Yet, while the 2021 incident ended with the victim’s escape and survival, the Moscow tragedy resulted in the deaths of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen—a crime so heinous it has captivated the nation’s attention. When Kohberger was arrested in December 2022, authorities began scrutinizing his past, seeking any signs of violent tendencies or precursors to the alleged killings. Their investigation led them to revisit the Pullman home invasion. Kohberger was named a person of interest, but law enforcement ultimately cleared him. According to police, his height did not match the victim’s description of the intruder, and he had not yet enrolled at Washington State University at the time of the attack. “We have no reason or evidence to believe he was involved in this burglary at this time,” Pullman police told ABC News. Still, the lingering questions remain. How rare is it for someone to be linked, even tangentially, to two such similar crimes? Is it a coincidence, or does it suggest a pattern that went unnoticed? The odds, as some experts suggest, strain credulity. For Kohberger’s defense team, the Pullman case represents both a challenge and an opportunity. On the one hand, the unresolved nature of the 2021 break-in could bolster their argument that another individual with a similar modus operandi may be responsible for the Idaho murders. On the other hand, the eerie similarities between the two incidents could make it harder for jurors to ignore the implication of a connection. Adding to the complexity is the timing of the revelations. The Pullman incident had largely faded from public memory until body camera footage from the 2021 investigation surfaced. In it, the victim recounts the chilling encounter with clarity: “I heard my door open and I looked over, and someone was wearing a ski mask and had a knife. I kicked the s--t out of their stomach and screamed super loud, and they like flew back into my closet and then ran out my door and up the stairs.” Her statement paints a picture of a terrifying but brief encounter, one that underscores her sheer will to survive. In Moscow, however, the outcome was tragically different. The four students, attacked in their sleep, never had the chance to defend themselves. The contrast between these outcomes—one victim escaping, four others losing their lives—raises critical questions about what changed in the intervening year.

Prosecutors Defend Evidence in Bryan Kohberger Case, Urge Judge to Deny Defense Motion Prosecutors leading the case against Bryan Kohberger are contesting defense claims that investigators overstepped in gathering evidence. In court filings, they assert that searches of Kohberger’s property and digital accounts were lawful and necessary, urging the judge to deny defense motions to exclude evidence. Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University, faces charges for the November 2022 stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. His trial is scheduled for August 2025, and a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. The defense has argued that the search warrants were too broad and violated Kohberger's rights. These warrants targeted Kohberger's car, phone records, Apple accounts, and other personal belongings. Defense attorneys claim they were issued without proper specificity. Prosecutors countered these arguments in a detailed filing, stating, “The burden of proof is on the defendant to show that the search was invalid.” Prosecutors emphasized that the warrants were limited to evidence directly connected to the murders and were justified under the circumstances. They pointed out that legal precedent allows for broader language in search warrants when evidence may be concealed or exist in multiple formats, such as electronic devices. “Criminals don’t advertise where they keep evidence,” prosecutors noted, underscoring that a comprehensive search was essential. Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ashley Jennings explained that the evidence sought was clearly tied to the crimes. “The seizure of items was limited to the crime Kohberger is accused of committing,” she stated. Jennings added that broader search parameters are sometimes necessary, especially when dealing with digital evidence that can be hidden, mislabeled, or manipulated. Prosecutors also acknowledged that Kohberger had a “reasonable expectation of privacy” in his personal belongings, such as his vehicle and phone records. However, they argued that substantial probable cause justified the searches and that investigators obtained court-approved warrants to conduct them. They stressed that Kohberger’s right to privacy does not protect criminal activities. While Thursday’s filings focused primarily on the validity of the search warrants, they did not extensively address challenges to other evidence, including DNA testing and the search of Kohberger's Amazon account. Prosecutors also submitted sealed exhibits alongside their arguments, which the public cannot currently access. The case continues to draw significant attention as Kohberger’s trial approaches. Both sides remain deeply divided over the admissibility of evidence, with prosecutors determined to uphold the integrity of their investigation and the defense fighting to limit what can be presented at trial. #BryanKohberger #UniversityofIdaho #TrueCrime #SearchWarrants #MurderCase #LegalNews #IdahoMurders Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A former defense attorney for Ted Bundy, John Henry Browne, has drawn intriguing parallels between the notorious serial killer’s final actions and the charges against Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the University of Idaho student murders. Browne, who represented Bundy during his trial, pointed out striking similarities in the actions of both men, particularly in the context of state lines, the death penalty, and their method of execution. Browne noted that Bundy, after escaping from a Colorado prison, fled to Florida where he committed more murders, ultimately landing on death row. “Here's some guy who drives 10 miles from a state where there's no death penalty, [from] a state where there's an active mental health defense, to a state where there is no mental health defense, and the death penalty is very active,” Browne told Fox News Digital. “I think it's just fascinating to me. I don’t know what to imply from it, but I know the facts are the facts.” Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, is facing charges in a state with the death penalty, despite being a resident of Washington, where capital punishment is not enforced. He is accused of crossing state lines from Washington to Idaho, a move Browne sees as eerily reminiscent of Bundy’s own actions. Both men allegedly carried out their murders in similar circumstances, with Bundy entering the Chi Omega sorority house through a back door before dawn and attacking several sleeping women, and Kohberger allegedly doing the same at a college house. “Like Bundy’s Florida State University Chi Omega sorority house rampage, Kohberger is accused of attacking four college students hours before sunrise, entering through a back door while at least some of the victims were sleeping,” Browne explained. Despite the striking similarities, Browne expressed uncertainty about the prosecution's theory regarding Kohberger's motive, which remains largely unknown. “I have no idea what the state's theory is about why Kohberger chose these people in this house to go kill and leave a knife [sheath] that has DNA on it,” he remarked. Browne suggested that the lack of clarity surrounding the motive would be of significant interest to the jury. While Bundy’s case eventually became clearer as a struggle for power rather than sex, Browne noted that the motives in Kohberger's case are still unclear. “As the case became clearer and we’re dealing with 30, 40, 50 or more deaths, the motives became pretty clear in Ted's case – that it was a power struggle, much more so than sex,” Browne said, adding that many of Bundy’s victims were not sexually assaulted. The defense team for Kohberger, led by attorneys Anne Taylor, Jay Logsdon, and Elisa Massoth, has spent over a year aggressively challenging the case against him. This includes filing motions to strike the death penalty, which was rejected by Boise Judge Steven Hippler. Browne suggested that Kohberger’s defense team should continue to fight aggressively. “If I were his lawyers, I would start playing offense – a lot,” he said. Browne also weighed in on Kohberger’s defense strategy, suggesting that Kohberger may want to waive his right to a jury trial, a tactic that Bundy used in Utah, although it did not work in his favor. “You could waive the jury, and try the case to the judge,” Browne noted. However, he acknowledged that while the tactic could sometimes be beneficial, it would not be an easy decision in a high-profile case like Kohberger’s, where potential jurors may already have preconceived notions. Kohberger is accused of the brutal murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, who were all fatally stabbed in the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022. The suspect’s trial is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2025. As Kohberger’s defense continues to unfold, Browne’s insights into the case offer a unique perspective, drawing on his extensive experience with...

The defense team for Bryan Kohberger, the 29-year-old accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, faced sharp criticism from the presiding judge after submitting more than 2,000 pages of exhibits that were deemed "largely irrelevant." Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary in connection with the fatal stabbings of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin at an off-campus residence. District Judge Steven Hippler issued a stern order regarding the defense’s motion for a Franks hearing. A Franks hearing examines whether an affidavit used to obtain a search warrant contains misleading or false information. If granted, the court will consider arguments from both sides before ruling on the motion. However, Hippler noted significant issues with the defense's filing, which included 38 exhibits totaling over 2,000 pages. "Unfortunately, Defendant's memorandum largely fails to identify with particularity the relevant portions of the exhibits, instead referring simply to the exhibit number without identifying the precise pages at issue," Hippler said. "Thus, the Court is left with the unenviable task of sifting through pages and pages of largely irrelevant documents to ascertain what portion Defendant may be referring to." Hippler emphasized that it is not the court's responsibility to comb through voluminous filings for relevant information. "The court is not required to search the record looking for evidence," he added. The defense has been ordered to resubmit its filings and exclude irrelevant portions, with a deadline set for Tuesday. This critique comes on the heels of a separate dispute last week, in which the defense sought an extension for filing motions related to discovery. The deadline had been November 14, but the defense requested an extension the day before, citing the "vast amount of discovery" that still needed to be reviewed. Judge Hippler rejected the request on November 15, stating that it lacked sufficient justification. "Motions to enlarge deadline filed on the eve of the deadline are not well taken," Hippler wrote. "Defendant could have ascertained far sooner whether the discovery motions deadline would pose difficulty and brought it to the Court's attention." He further criticized the defense for failing to demonstrate good cause for the delay. "Defendant has not set forth what efforts have been made to review the discovery, what portion of discovery has not yet been reviewed, why it has not been reviewed or how long it will take to complete such review," Hippler added. With the defense now under strict orders to revise and resubmit their Franks hearing motion, the focus remains on how these procedural delays and criticisms will impact Kohberger’s legal strategy. The case continues to attract widespread attention, with many watching closely for further developments in one of the most closely followed criminal cases in recent history. #BryanKohberger #UniversityOfIdaho #FranksHearing #JudgeHippler #TrueCrime #LegalNews #MoscowIdaho Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
