Kohberger Wants to Revoke Guilty Plea | Pittsburgh News
Description
The man convicted of killing four University of Idaho students is now claiming his guilty plea was based on lies and that he’s innocent — a shocking reversal just months after being sentenced to four life terms without parole. The victims — two 21-year-olds and two 20-year-olds — were found stabbed in their off-campus home in November 2022. Kohberger, arrested in Pennsylvania six weeks later, was linked to the crime via DNA on a knife sheath found at the scene. His guilty plea spared him the death penalty but forfeited his right to appeal. Now, his legal team faces an uphill battle to overturn the conviction — a rare move for someone who’s already admitted guilt in court.
