Killer who stabbed 4 Idaho students to death still at large​

The killer — or killers — who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death remained at large Tuesday, prompting many students to leave the campus in the idyllic small town despite police assurances that there was no imminent risk to the community.

So many students had left the scenic tree-lined campus in Moscow, Idaho, by Tuesday that university officials said a candlelight vigil scheduled for the next day would instead be held after the Thanksgiving break.

The students, all close friends, were found dead in an off-campus rental home around noon on Sunday, and officials said they likely were killed several hours earlier. Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt told the Spokane, Washington-based television station KXLY that her preliminary investigation showed the students were stabbed to death. There is no indication that substance use was involved in the deaths, Mabbutt said.

The admitted murderer Bryan Kohberger plans to file for post-conviction relief after pleading guilty to killing four University of Idaho students in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Kohberger plans to argue that he had bad counsel. Court records show he filed a petition for post-conviction relief Monday, but the filing itself was not immediately available.

Kohberger, in his handwritten petition, claims that he was "convinced to falsely confess," claiming his high-profile defense team of Anne Taylor, Elisa Massoth and Bicka Barlow didn't tell him about "exculpatory discovery" — evidence mentioned in the recent "Broken Plea" book but never vetted in court.


 
I don't think this will go anywhere. But as I have said before, had the prosecutor required Kohberger to give up the knife or other evidence for the plea deal, this wouldn't be happening. I still don't understand why that happened.
Similar reason several of us here have said that if someone is going to take a plea deal for the murder of a missing person, they shouldn't be able to do so unless they give up the location of the missing person!
 
Statement from the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office:

We are saddened by the recent news that the admitted murderer of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle continues his efforts to victimize their families and friends. Our office is prepared to defend the well-deserved convictions and sentences and ensure justice prevails.

No further statements will be made at this time

I didn’t even know you could change your mind after all this time. Never heard of it before.
 

Bryan Kohberger's bid to oust judge and undo guilty plea moves forward with new court date set​

Convicted Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger will return to court on Oct. 15 for a hearing on his motion to remove Judge Steven Hippler from his case as he seeks to undo his guilty plea through a process known as post-conviction relief.

Kohberger, 31, filed a handwritten petition in July, telling the court he had ineffective counsel, that his guilty plea was "not knowingly or voluntarily entered because it was induced by unkept promises" and that it was "not voluntarily entered because of threats asserted by petitioner's (Kohberger's) legal counsel."

The court appointed attorney Greg Rauch, of Moscow, Idaho, and private defense lawyer Jason Goldman, of New York, later joined Kohberger's new legal team.

His new lawyers are expected to file an amended petition by Nov. 13 — four years to the day after the murders.

"We think the [amended petition] and evidentiary hearing will naturally address some of the outstanding and unanswered questions," Goldman told Fox News Digital last week. "That said, the main priority right now is to scrutinize the constitutional issues surrounding Bryan's plea."


In the prosecution's fight against his petition for post-conviction relief, Deputy Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Keith Scholl asked for the transcripts from both hearings, in which Kohberger admitted guilt and affirmed he was entering his plea knowingly and under no duress.

In a separate order last week, Hippler gave Kohberger's lawyers until Sept. 10 to explain why the court should seal a supplemental filing attached to their motion to disqualify him from the case.

They've also been ordered to share the confidential filing with the Latah County Prosecutor's office. It has not been made public and will remain sealed at least until the deadline — likely longer after a justification is given.

The hearing on the motion to disqualify will be held on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 1:30 p.m. MT via WebEx.
