Bryan Kohberger Plots to Have Murder Charges Thrown Out

Murders suspect Bryan Kohberger's defense team is asking a judge to stay proceedings in the case. Attorney Anne Taylor is calling for prosecutors to disclose more materials, including the full record of the grand jury proceedings. Taylor says the information is necessary to Kohberger's defense, intended to quote, "preserve his right to contest the indictment."  While Kohberger's legal team is entitled to the transcript of the grand jury, there is a question of what other information could be handed over, such as people who were subpoenaed, or anything said off the record. This is as details are released on the probability of the DNA match from the knife sheath found at the murder scene. Court documents state that DNA collected from suspect Bryan Kohberger is a ‘statistical match’ for DNA on the sheath of the knife.  Kohberger’s attorney is asking a judge for more time to decide whether to offer a formal alibi for Kohberger in this case. Taylor said in a motion that the defense team had not had sufficient time to fully review the evidence provided by the prosecution. Thousands of pages of discovery, thousands of photographs, and hundreds of hours of recordings," have been provided to the defense. Idaho law lays out 10 days for a criminal defendant to reveal whether an alibi will be offered.  A judge can extend that deadline.
