Brian Kohbarajar’s lawyers intended to argue at the trial that a knife recovered from the crime scene was imposed by the real killer of the four University of Adhu students.
Kohbajar is accused of stabbing Madison Mojin, Kelly Gonklos, Zana Carndel and Ethan Chapin in an off -campus house in Moscow in November 2022. He has not entered the criminal requests and his case is about to begin in August. If he is sentenced, he will face the death sentence.
In the state’s filing released on Tuesday afternoon, the prosecution summarizes a defensive filing that is sealed.
“Instead of challenging the conclusion that the knife belongs to the DNA defendant on the sheath, defense expert revelations show that the defensive plan to discuss the DNA on the knife’s sheath does not prove that the defendant was always at the site of the crime and that the knife was a real culprit.”
Prosecutors’ filing quoted defensive experts as saying that Kohbarajar’s lawyers intend to call forensic biology and DNA experts who will testify that “[t]It is well -supported that Mr Kohbarajar’s DNA Item 1.1 was found, which is a broom from the knife.
No further information has been provided with a defensive expert’s disclosure in the prosecution’s filed on March 10, and no response has been made by Kohberger’s lawyers.
The DNA was recovered at the knife button, which eventually attracted investigators to Kohbagar, an important piece of evidence in this case and has been the subject of a number of movements before the trial.
The Idahu State Lab first laid the same source of male DNA, with a knife knife knife on Snap, which was found at the site of crime with Mogin’s body.
Prosecutors have said that authorities used an investigative genetic prescription – or IGG -forensic science department in which DNA analysis was combined with racial research, so that the sample could be connected to the family of Kohbarajar.
The investigator then went to the house of the family of Kohbarajar in Pennsylvania and pulled the luggage from the garbage of the family to examine the knife sample. According to court documents, the DNA profile obtained from the garbage was indicated that “the suspected knife profile is not being excluded as a biological father.”
The court documents say that a cheek broom in Kohbarajar confirmed that it was a “statistical match” of a knife sample.
The Kohbarajar defense team has repeatedly questioned the use, legal status and accuracy of DNA testing at every stage of the process.
A new glimpse of Kohberger’s potential defense strategy has been filed by IDAO state prosecutors, saying they are willing to agree with the defensive position to exclude the IGG test evidence.
The filing states that the prosecution says they only intend to refer to the IGG content as a common indicator, without disclosing the source or the nose. He will ask an investigator at the stand to testify that law enforcement agencies have received a hint and based on information and other evidence, authorities eventually identified Kohbarajar as a suspect.
