‘Alternative perpetrator’ defense for Idaho suspect
During a hearing on Thursday, Bryan Kohberger's defense team claimed they have evidence of an "alternate suspect". Kohberger is expected to go on trial this August for the murders of four college students. A new report shows that a car that looks similar to Kohberger's was seen a number of times near the home where the four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death. He is charged with first-degree murder in the Nov. 13, 2022 deaths of Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20. The inclusion of an ‘alternative perpetrator’ defense has already been met with some skepticism. There have also been arguments over Kohberger's alibi, which prosecutors say cannot be corroborated by anyone other than the defendant himself. Kohberger was studying for a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University. That campus is about 10 miles from the University of Idaho crime scene.
