Bryan Kohberger's family say they support his attempt to challenge conviction

Bryan Kohberger’s lawyers are challenging his 2025 conviction as his family backs post-conviction relief and hearings are set for October and 2027.

  • This month, Bryan Kohberger requested a new judge and venue change for his post-conviction relief process, alleging bias by Judge Steven Hippler; a hearing regarding these requests is scheduled for Oct. 15.
  • Challenging his 2025 conviction, Kohberger claims he was "convinced to falsely confess" to killing four college students in Moscow, Idaho, while serving four consecutive life sentences plus 10 years for burglary.
  • Seeking the "unvarnished truth," the Kohberger family stated they support his pursuit of relief, though about 28% of exonerated people across the United States since 2014 pled guilty to crimes they did not commit.
  • Following the petition, Idaho Attorney General Labrador expressed sympathy for victims "who have already endured unimaginable loss," adding his office stands ready to ensure justice is fully carried out.
  • Set for June 17, 2027, a hearing will address Kohberger's motion for post-conviction relief; his court-appointed lawyers, led by Ann Taylor, previously spent more than two years challenging evidence during pre-trial hearings.
