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

Bryan Kohberger’s lawyers have filed legal documents stating that the 28-year-old has an alibi for the night of the murders in idahoNovember 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 substantiate that.

“It’s not a real alibi defense,” Neama Rahmani, former federal prosecutor and president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, told DailyMail.com. “It’s more, kind of cross-examining the government’s witnesses and conclusively arguing that because (Kohberger’s) phone wasn’t there, Kohnberger was not thereor.’

According to law enforcement officials, Bryan Kohberger’s phone went off the grid at 2:44 a.m. in Pullman, Washington, and remained off or on airplane mode until after the time of the murders, when it reappeared in Idaho, south of Moscow.

The idea that Kohberger was driving around in the wee hours of the night, something his lawyers say he “has had a long-standing habit” of doing, could potentially be used in court to test alleged CCTV footage of his car driving into the driving near the crime scene. around the time of the murders.

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

“At this time, there is no specific witness to say exactly where Mr. Kohberger was at any time of the hours between late night of November 12, 2022 and early morning of November 13, 2022,” his attorney wrote in court documents. .

Kohberger returns to court on Aug. 18 for a pre-trial hearing on several motions, including one by the defense to drop his current charges.
