US EditionJudge in Idaho Student Killings Case Demands Records Held Following Leak
- Bryan Kohberger, a 30-year-old former criminology graduate student, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder for the fatal stabbing of four students at the University of Idaho in Moscow during the early hours of November 13, 2022.
- Authorities connected Kohberger to the murders through genetic material found on a leather knife cover discovered near one of the victims, along with supporting data from his cell phone and a nearby vehicle, resulting in his arrest in Pennsylvania more than a month after the crimes.
- The highly anticipated trial, with jury selection starting in late July and trial on August 11, includes a gag order and focuses on evidence such as DNA analysis, Kohberger’s Amazon purchase history, and his autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, which the judge ruled inadmissible unless he testifies.
- Attorney Misty Marris said in March that "the DNA could make or break the case, and it’s all about what the jury finds to be credible," highlighting the central role of forensic evidence.
- If convicted of capital murder, Kohberger could face a penalty phase where the jury decides between the death penalty and life imprisonment, while the case has drawn widespread public attention and multiple true crime features.
