Kohberger's New Lawyer Thinks He Can Undo the Guilty Plea
About this episode
The Idaho murders case has already cost taxpayers more than eight million dollars. Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to all charges. He was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without parole. He waived his right to appeal. And now a court-appointed legal team — funded by the same public being told it doesn't understand — has a New York attorney releasing statements to national media claiming the case isn't what people think.
Jason Goldman, who joined Kohberger's taxpayer-funded defense, told PEOPLE magazine the public should "caution against assuming" it knows the complete story. The verified record includes a teenage history of heroin addiction and breaking into homes, a Reddit survey asking criminals how they chose their victims, more than five hundred pages of police interviews describing Kohberger as "creepy" and dangerous to women, twenty-three phone pings near the victims' home in the months before the killings, DNA on a knife sheath left at the scene, and a car cleaned to what the prosecutor called "spotless."
Kohberger said "guilty" four times in court — once for each of the four University of Idaho students he killed: Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. He told the judge he was doing so freely and voluntarily. One year later he says he was coerced. An evidentiary hearing is set for June 2027.
