Idaho college murders suspect Bryan Kohberger claims he was out on a long drive alone during the time he is accused of stabbing to death four University of Idaho college students last November.
Kohberger’s attorneys provided that information in a filing objecting to the prosecutions demand that their client provide his alibi before trial begins.

“Mr. Kohberger has long had a habit of going for drives alone. Often he would go for drives at night,” the attorneys wrote. “He did so late on November 12 and into November 13, 2022.”
The filing says that Kohberger isn’t saying he was at a specific place at a specific time and that there’s not even “a specific witness” who can say where he was at any particular time.
“He was out, driving during the late night and early morning hours of November 12-13, 2022” when the murders took place, the attorneys wrote.

They wrote that corroboration their client was not at the crime scene may come from cross-examination of the state’s witnesses and that he’s said all he can “at this time.”
The attorneys then blame the prosecution for their inability to provide an alibi and asked the judge to stop the state from asking him about it.
Kohberger’s trial for the murders of Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves on November 13 is due to begin on October 2. The defense has filed a motion to toss the indictment, citing errors with the grand jury, and a hearing on that motion is scheduled for August 18.
