Episode Details

Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students, is now claiming he’s innocent in a handwritten petition, saying his confession was coerced and based on false information from his own lawyers. He seeks to overturn his conviction and avoid the death penalty, but victims’ families remain unmoved, citing overwhelming evidence. Legal experts question the credibility of his claims, especially since his defense successfully avoided capital punishment. Despite giving up appeal rights in his plea deal, a 2019 Supreme Court ruling may reopen that door. A new judge will review the petition with fresh counsel appointed for Kohberger — and the case hinges on whether the court believes him or his former legal team.
