Bryan Kohberger gets new lawyer as he seeks to withdraw guilty plea in Idaho murders
Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of the 2022 University of Idaho student murders, was assigned a new attorney to pursue his post-conviction petition to withdraw his guilty plea, according to Fox News. Kohberger had earlier filed a handwritten request seeking to overturn his plea, claiming he was misled during the process, a move reported by several outlets. A digital-forensics specialist hired by his defense has argued that overlooked cellphone location data could merit a new trial, and the director of the Netflix docuseries on the case has suggested the killings were motivated by animus toward women, though investigators say no link to extremist groups has been found.
