That will theoretically come afterward — however earlier than his trial, which is about for this October. Due to the foundations of discovery, they’ve to inform the prosecution beforehand.

Well, it’ll be fascinating to see how that “alibi defense” comes collectively within the subsequent few months. Everything we’ve heard from the warrants which have gone public is that Kohberger could be put within the quick space due to his automobile being caught on digicam. Where else will he say he was?? Hmm…

Last month, in a separate submitting, the protection claimed Kohberger’s DNA was removed from the one specimen discovered on the crime scene in an try and solid doubt on the case introduced forth by the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office. And in one other submitting from manner again in April, she claimed one of many King Road dwelling’s surviving roommates might go as far as to clear Kohberger.
