Quadruple murder suspicious Bryan Kohberber’s The defense team brought two DNA samples of men unidentified in King Road’s house, where he is accused of killing four university students from the Idaho University, as part of his effort that his arrest orders are expelled.
Researchers recovered two unidentified male blood samples, one in one handrail and one in a glove outside, after the stabbed death of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncavles, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20 and Ethan Chapin, 20. None of Kohberger Nor Kohberger, and came from different themes.
With the sources of both in question, defending lawyer Anne Taylor told Ada Steven Hippler’s County judge at a hearing last month that could mean that Kohberger, 30, is not related to crime at all.

“That was interesting information,” said Boise’s defense lawyer, Edwina Elcox, to Fox News Digital. “I think the defense tries to raise the problem and confuse the waters with it.”
But in the previous stage, the judge seemed unvolved that the presence of two other DNA samples would be a reason to discard a probable cause for Kohberger arrest. The detectives made another condemnatory finding: a ka-bar knife pod under Mogen’s body.

“However, his DNA is still in the knife pod,” Hipler told Taylor in court. “That is the problem, lawyer.”
Taylor argued that the detectives had cheated the Judge of the County County Judge Megan Marshall with his affidavit of probable cause by neglecting the details on the other blood. Hippler pierced the home the connection between the suspect and the DNA found under the body of Mogen.

“How is that revealed, even if it prevents a probable cause finding when there is a DNA Between the DNA in the pod and Mr. Kohberger? “Hipber asked.” Isn’t that probable cause every day and twice on Sunday? ”
Taylor argued: “Not in this context.” In movements prior to trial, he unsuccessfully attacked the work of genetic genetics of research of the FBI, which generated leadership that led the police to Kohberger. She plans to dissect even more the research method in the trial.

“If they kill you a knife, it probably means a lot,” Hipler replied. “The probable cause is not a proof beyond a reasonable doubt One of the victims does not.
But the samples could create reasonable doubts before a jury In the trial.
“Of course, they will try to use it, but where were the other samples of male blood on the scene? What was the weight of the DNA?” Linda Kenney Baden said, an outstanding defender of New York whose clients have included Casey Anthony and Aaron Hernández. “All these are questions for the jury, but do not prevent the DNA of the pod used for both the search warrant.”

The location of these samples is important, he said. One was found in a handrail inside, another in an outdoor glove.
“Now, if the same unknown DNA is in a room and in a victim, then it becomes more important, but not because of the probable cause of the search warrant,” he said.
Taylor will probably argue that unknown blood comes from one or more murderers, who have no connection with his client, said David Gelman, a defense lawyer based in New Jersey who has been following the case.

After the audience, Hipler said that he had not yet decided if the defense will receive a Franks audience, which would allow Kohberger to attack the orders in the court.
Kohberger is scheduled for trial at the end of this year. Before his defense successfully defended a change of headquarters, the Judge of the County of Latah, John Judge, declared himself innocent in the name of the suspect in his reading of charges in May 2023.
Kohberger could face the death penalty If it is convicted.
