Bryan Kohberger’s alibi: Idaho murder suspect, 28, says he was ‘driving alone’ the night of the murders, but offers no new evidence to support his claim

Bryan Kohberger’s attorneys have filed legal documents stating the 28-year-old has an alibi for the idaho murder nightNovember 13, 2022.

Kohberger, 28, who faces four counts of first-degree murder, claims he was “driving alone” when Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were stabbed to death. However, at this time, he has not provided any evidence or witnesses to back up this claim.

“It’s not a real alibi defence,” former federal prosecutor and West Coast Trial Lawyers president Neama Rahmani told DailyMail.com. “It’s more, in a way, about cross-examining government witnesses and arguing by implication that because (Kohberger’s) phone wasn’t there, Kohnberger was not thereeither.’

The idea that Kohberger was driving in the wee hours of the night, which his lawyers say he “used to do for a long time”, could potentially be used in court to explain the alleged CCTV footage of his car driving near the crime scene. at the time of the murders.

Kohberger claims he cannot say for sure where he drove that night and has no one to corroborate his alibi, but claims he was not at the victims’ residence, 1122 King Road.

“At this time, there are no specific witnesses to say precisely where Mr. Kohberger was at each instant of the hours between late night November 12, 2022 and early morning November 13, 2022,” his director wrote. attorney in court documents.

Kohberger will be back in court on August 18 for a preliminary hearing on several motions, including one from the defense to quash his current indictment.
