In a Boise courtroom, Bryan Kohberger’s defense team is challenging DNA evidence in his case related to the Idaho college murders. The defense argues that the police used flawed DNA science to identify Kohberger as the suspect in the killings of four University of Idaho students.
Lead defense attorney Anne Taylor revealed details of a survivor’s interview with authorities, questioning the credibility of the information provided. The defense also raised concerns about the use of investigative genetic genealogy to link Kohberger to the crime, a tactic they believe is flawed.
The defense team accused the FBI of not obtaining a warrant to work with a trash collection company, leading to the discovery of Kohberger’s DNA in the Pennsylvania Poconos neighborhood. The prosecution countered by stating that no constitutional rights were violated in the investigation.
The court proceedings, initially private, allowed the family of victim Kaylee Goncalves to witness part of the hearing. The trial is scheduled to begin in August, with Kohberger facing the death penalty.
