He also asked the Judge of 4th Steven Hipler district to limit evidence on any psychiatric evaluation that Kohberger could have suffered, as well as arguments about an alternative perpetrator of crimes.

Kohberger He is accused of four positions of murder in the death of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, students who were Killed early in the morning of November 13, 2022, in a rental house near his campus in Moscow, Idaho. When he was asked to enter a supplication last year, Kohberger was silent, which led a judge to enter a plea without stopping in his name. Prosecutors have said they will look for the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted.

Thousands of pages of judicial documents have submitted in The complicated case As the lawyers on both sides try to establish the basic rules of what will be presented and will not be presented to jurors during the three -month trial that will begin on August 11.

Kohberger’s defense team presented a judicial document last year that said it was “,” Out of driving In the early hours of November 13, 2022; As he often did to walk and run and/or see the moon and the stars. “The defense also said that an expert in the follow -up of cell phones would partially support those statements when testifying where Kohberger’s mobile device was during those hours.

But Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson wrote in his motion that the defense team has not provided enough specific details about exactly where he states that Kohberger claims to have been and that they failed to comply with the dissemination deadlines established by the judge.

“It would be unrealistic on this late date to expect the State to investigate and respond effectively to any new or additional revelation related to the Alibi,” Thompson wrote, so any evidence of Alibi must be prohibited unless it comes from Kohberger himself.

Thompson also asked the judge to limit the defense of offering any argument on other possible perpetrators unless the judge first decides that the evidence is relevant and admissible in the Court.
