Convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger, who last year admitted to slaughtering four University of Idaho students in cold blood, now wants to yank his guilty plea and demand a shiny new trial, according to The New York Times.
Kohberger, already locked up for life without parole, issued a statement from his Idaho prison cell to the paper. "My actual innocence is my truth, and the plea hinged on by false promises and blatant disinformation, MUST be withdrawn,” the murdering scumcrumpet said.
The weird-eyed admitted killer now doubled down on an “absolute claim of innocence.” In July 2025, this aspiring criminologist pleaded guilty to murdering 21-year-olds Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, and 20-year-olds Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin inside their off-campus rental home back in November 2022.
Pretrial evidence piled up like unpaid student loans.
Cops found his DNA on the sheath of the murder knife, the very same knife he ordered off Amazon months earlier. His car matched the one captured on surveillance circling the crime scene like a hungry vulture. No motive or personal link to the victims ever turned up, yet prosecutors still cut him a deal: skip the death penalty if he confessed and waved goodbye to any appeals.
Kohberger refused to address the mountain of evidence against him, insisting the whole mess would be handled "appropriately in a trial setting." He also told the Times he drafted the challenge documents all by himself, noting that plenty of his defense lawyers recalled how he always griped about the plea deal and the evidence.
"Unanswered questions seem to multiply with each piece of discovery unsealed," Kohberger said in his statement. Apparently, he doesn't like the idea of living in prison for the rest of his life, and his biggest worry is what might happen to him if he drops the soap in the shower.
Steve Goncalves, father of murdered Kaylee Goncalves, declined comment, saying he first needed to talk it over with his family. Smart move when the man who butchered your daughter suddenly rediscovers his "truth."
After more than a month with zero suspects, Pennsylvania state police and the FBI finally nabbed Kohberger in a dawn raid at his parents’ home near the Poconos. At the time he was a graduate student and teaching assistant in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University.
Former professors and classmates described him as "obsessed" with serial killers, criminal behavior, and the psychology of antisocial types during his classes.
If anything is true here, it's that Kohberger is an “expert on crime” because he committed one, a really big one.
Legal experts note that convicts usually get one year from judgment to attack a conviction over major constitutional defects or incompetent counsel. Whether this late-blooming innocence claim earns him a second shot remains anybody’s guess.
It's possible, if he gets a new trial and is convicted, that he gets the death sentence, proving justice moves in mysterious ways.
