Prosecutors Release Kohberger Selfie and Amazon Records in Idaho Murder Case
New evidence includes a selfie prosecutors say was taken hours after the murders and Amazon records of a knife purchase, as defense challenges evidence and timeline.
- Prosecutors have introduced a selfie allegedly taken by Bryan Kohberger hours after the murders, aiming to link his appearance to a surviving roommate's description of the intruder's 'bushy eyebrows.'
- Court filings reveal Kohberger's Amazon purchase history, showing he allegedly bought a Ka-Bar knife and sheath months before the killings, which prosecutors argue ties him to the crime scene.
- The defense disputes the admissibility of Amazon records and has requested to exclude evidence of Kohberger's online activity, citing concerns over relevance and prejudice.
- Defense attorneys have raised questions about the timeline of events, including the surviving roommates' phone and social media activity before the 911 call was made hours after the murders.
- Kohberger has pleaded not guilty to all charges, with his trial set to begin in August 2025, where prosecutors will seek the death penalty if he is convicted.
