Kohberger, a graduate student from Washington State University in Criminology, was arrested in the murders on December 30, 2022 in his native state of Pennsylvania. He was accused of four murder positions; In his name a statement of non -guancia was presented in his name in May 2023, and his lawyers have indicated that the 29 -year -old intends to present a alibi as part of his defense.

Kohberger’s lawyers, who say his client is innocent, claimed that he was driving alone, which stunned the night when the four students of the Idaho University were stabbed in a house outside the campus.

But as the August trial is approaching, prosecutors are asking a judge to produce that Kohberger’s defense team offers any evidence, beyond Kohberger’s own words, to support that statement, saying that the defense has had 20 months to provide material to support it and no.

“The defense is arguing that Bryan Kohberger was out of a trip in any specific area or place. And that is his alibi. And they did not present testimony to be able to testify that. Then, the prosecution argues that the defense takes advantage of any argument about the alibi, That he would have to come from Bryan Kohberger and no other source, “explained ABC News collaborator Brian Buckmire.

The Prosecutor’s Office also requests that the defense team offer any psychiatric evaluation as evidence. This, after the summaries of the judicial documents in the case show that the defense presented a motion on Monday “to achieve the death penalty with the autistic spectrum disorder.”

From the morning of Wednesday, the complete documents were not publicly available online. And it was not clear immediately if Kohberger has been diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder or if the defense was looking for a diagnosis, CNN reported.

Prosecutors also ask the court to produce references to the guilty “alternative” unless they have “specifically evidence that they connect (them) to homicides. “
