Prosecution adds former US attorney to University of Idaho quadruple murder case
- Bryan Kohberger faces charges for the 2022 deaths of four Idaho students, which occurred near their campus in Moscow.
- These students, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves, were likely asleep when they were fatally attacked.
- Investigators matched Kohberger's DNA to genetic material from a knife sheath found at the scene, leading to his arrest in Pennsylvania.
- The state seeks the death penalty; however, pretrial arguments on April 9 will address an autism diagnosis and a 911 call.
- Joshua Hurwit, a former U.S. Attorney for Idaho, will now assist Latah County Attorney Bill Thompson in prosecuting Kohberger, with the trial set to begin August 11.
