Convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger filed a formal post-conviction relief petition in Ada County District Court on Monday, July 27, 2026, demanding to withdraw his guilty plea for the 2022 University of Idaho student stabbings.
Serving four consecutive life sentences without parole after admitting guilt under oath last year, Kohberger now asserts that his defence team coerced him through false promises regarding the high-profile University of Idaho student stabbings legal appeal.
