Bryan Kohberger, convicted of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, is appealing to the court for a change of judge and trial location. He aims to retract his guilty plea.
Kohberger’s newly appointed attorney, Gregory Rauch, filed motions on Thursday seeking these changes. The appeal follows Kohberger’s conviction for first-degree murder.
During the sentencing on July 23, 2025, at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho, Kohberger appeared for his hearing. Having initially pled guilty, he now argues innocence, attributing his previous confession to misguided advice from his defense team.
This case is actively evolving. Further updates will be available soon.
