Idaho Student Killer Seeks to Withdraw Guilty Plea
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022, is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea and wants his day in court. Kohberger, who pleaded guilty in July 2025 to avoid a trial for the quadruple homicide and is currently serving four life sentences, filed a petition for post-conviction relief on Monday in the Ada County District Court in Idaho. A post-conviction relief petition is a legal mechanism to challenge a conviction outside the appeal process. Court records indicate that Kohberger is representing himself. It is currently unclear on what grounds he is basing his petition. However, in an interview with The New York Times, Kohberger claimed he is innocent and was coerced into pleading guilty to the murders. 'My true innocence is my truth, and the guilty plea, based on false promises and obvious misinformation, MUST be withdrawn,' he stated to the newspaper on Sunday night.
