Bryan Kohberger has named an alternate suspect who he claims is the real killer of four University of Idaho students, in a bombshell move just weeks before he goes on trial for his life.
The quadruple homicide suspect returned to a courtroom in Ada County, Idaho, Thursday morning where Judge Steven Hippler is expected to make a series of last-ditch decisions that will shape his looming capital murder trial this summer.
In an 11th-hour move to save him from the firing squad, the 30-year-old suspected killer's defense took the explosive step of pointing the finger at another suspect.
Who this suspect is and what evidence the defense has that could tie them to the brutal murders remains a mystery.
The judge ordered that the defense filing remains under seal, keeping it cloaked in secrecy until trial.
