Bryan Kohberger seeks to withdraw guilty plea in Idaho murders case

Original: Bryan Kohberger seeks to withdraw guilty plea in University of Idaho murders: Court documents

Bryan Kohberger, convicted in the 2022 killings of four University of Idaho students, has filed court documents seeking to withdraw his guilty plea, according to ABC News reporting. The move comes after he admitted to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in a plea deal that spared him the death penalty. Legal observers say the attempt faces steep hurdles, as courts rarely allow plea withdrawals after sentencing.

Why now: A dramatic reversal by a defendant in one of the most closely followed US criminal cases is drawing widespread attention.
