US EditionProsecutors may call members of Bryan Kohberger’s family to testify during trial
- Bryan Kohberger is accused of the November 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, at an off-campus house in Moscow.
- Kohberger, a 30-year-old criminal justice student, is preparing for a trial this summer where he faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.
- As the trial approaches, both the prosecution and defense are strategizing over witness lists and evidence, including surveillance footage and a college assignment titled 'Crime-scene Scenario Final' written by Kohberger at DeSales University.
- Prosecutors intend to introduce Kohberger's paper to demonstrate his knowledge of crime scenes, while CBS News Legal Analyst Jessica Levinson explained that the state aims for testimony based on observations, not influenced by courtroom proceedings, stating, "The state wants to make sure that people give testimony just based on their own observations on what they saw and heard, not what they see and hear in a courtroom because they want to help one side or hurt another."
- A key point of contention is whether Kohberger's family members will be called to testify and, if so, whether they should be allowed in the courtroom before their testimony, with the prosecution arguing for the victims' families' right to be present while the defense requests equal consideration for Kohberger's family, stipulating that victim's families should not wear memorial apparel that could sway the jury.
