Bryan Kohberger granted hearing date in bid to withdraw guilty plea

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleBryan Kohberger filed a petition for post-conviction relief, claiming his legal team convinced him to falsely confess to the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. Kohberger alleges his original defense team failed to disclose exculpatory evidence, including a hair recovered from the crime scene that was never tested for DNA. A judge scheduled a July 2027 court appearance for Kohberger to present his argument, while prosecutors have asked for the petition to be dismissed. Kohberger previously pleaded guilty in July 2025 to avoid the death penalty and received four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. The victims' families are currently suing Washington State University, alleging the institution ignored 13 formal complaints made about Kohberger's dangerous behavior before the murders.
