Ada County District Judge Steven Hippler said last month: “How does that, even if disclosed, preclude a finding of probable cause when there’s a DNA match between the DNA on the sheath and Mr. Kohberger?
Bryan Kohberger, a criminology PhD student, is facing four counts of first-degree murder and burglary over the University of Idaho stabbings and appeared in Latah County Court in Moscow, Idaho, in May 2023.
A student potentially facing the death penalty after being accused of four brutal murders in Idaho could walk free thanks to new DNA evidence.
Nick McLoughlin, 26, who attended classes at Pleasant Valley High School with Kohberger said the murder suspect had been interested in becoming a police officer and took criminal justice courses.
The victims, University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were mourned by their community and the nation at large.
