The evidence stacking up against suspected Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger, 28, may seem like a gift for prosecutors looking to convict him of the quadruple homicide of four college students.
A deep dive into the investigation, however, has uncovered several credible avenues for his defense team to explore to plant seeds of reasonable doubt in the minds of a jury which may lead to a verdict of not guilty.
‘All it takes is one juror,’ said Joseph Scott Morgan, a Jacksonville State University forensics professor. ‘And there’s no doubt in my mind that the defense is going to utilize that.’
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman also weighed in on how evidence collection, Kohberger’s childhood and even his DNA found at the scene can be used to benefit the defense.
‘Bryan Kohberger is a petri dish of psychopathology. A defense psychiatrist would have a lot to work with,’ Dr. Lieberman told DailyMail.com.
Kohberger’s lawyers may have already scored a big win regarding the investigation. Prosecutors recently disclosed in court documents that a police officer involved in the quadruple murder case is the subject of an ‘internal affairs’ probe. Any alleged impropriety on the part of investigators could threaten the trial.
‘They’re going to put up factual roadblocks as well as legal hurdles,’ Rahmani said. ‘The defense is going to attack the evidence in this case. And one thing that I expect them to do is attack the DNA.’
The criminology student stands accused of the vicious stabbing deaths of Maddie Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20.
