A new court filing reveals the defense team for Idaho college quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger is planning to argue at trial that the knife sheath found at the crime scene was potentially planted by the real killer.
In the state’s filing released on Tuesday, prosecutors summarized a defense filing that appears to be sealed.
“Instead of challenging the conclusion that the DNA on the knife sheath belonged to Defendant, the defense’s expert disclosures reveal that the defense plans to argue the DNA on the knife sheath does not prove Defendant was ever at the crime scene and the knife sheath itself could have been planted by the real perpetrator,” the filing reads.
