Overview

  • William Searfoss, a former jail guard, and Anthony Somma, a former classmate, were summoned this week to testify in Bryan Kohberger’s capital murder trial.
  • Body camera footage from a 2024 DUI stop shows the DoorDash driver repeatedly telling officers she saw Kohberger outside the off-campus home and will testify at trial.
  • Prosecutors plan to introduce DNA found on a knife sheath, cell-phone location records and surveillance video linking Kohberger to the scene of the November 2022 slayings.
  • Defense attorneys maintain Kohberger’s alibi that he was driving alone the night of the murders and intend to present an alternate suspect theory.
  • Jury selection is set to begin August 4 in Boise, with opening statements scheduled for August 11 in Ada County District Court.
