Bryan Kohberger's Defense Seeks to Suppress Key Evidence in Idaho Murder Trial

Attorneys argue that DNA and digital records were obtained through unconstitutional means.

Kohberger's defense has filed over 160 pages challenging evidence they claim was illegally obtained, citing Fourth Amendment violations.
The defense contests the use of Kohberger's genetic data, arguing it was gathered through unconstitutional investigative genetic genealogy.
Prosecutors have until December 6 to respond to the defense's evidence suppression filings, with a hearing set for January 23.
Defense attorneys also challenge warrants used to collect Kohberger’s digital history and evidence from his apartment and car.
The trial, moved to Boise due to media coverage concerns, is scheduled to start with jury selection on July 31, 2025.
