The lawyers of Bryan Kherberger try to save his life, but pin the creepy murders on four students from the University of Idaho in 2022 on someone else, a judge revealed Thursday.
The lawyers of Kherberger have already informed the judge that they believe that someone else is responsible for the before the dawn in a student house in Moscow, Idaho-the theory of the ‘alternative perpetrator’ theory, Judge Steven Hippler revealed.
Now the judge tells lawyers to call the suspect and offer “any actual evidence” that they have against him.
He said what lawyers have offered so far, “was reasonably reprehensible in terms of admissibility.”
Hippler said he had sealed the documents, awaiting his decision whether the evidence can be presented to jury members during the Kherberger trial in August.
Kherberger is confronted with the possibility of death by firing a team if he is convicted of the murders.
The lawyers of Kherberger have until 23 May to come up with that evidence, and a hearing to discuss that the case was planned for next month.
Kherberger is accused of sneaking in a student house in November 2022, and deadly Xana Kernodle, 20 Madison may, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21 and Ethan Chapin, 20.
Only two roommates survived. One told the researchers that she saw a man in a black mask and left ‘bushy eyebrows’ through the back door – a man’s officers say that Kherberger, then a PhD student at the nearby University of Washington.
Latah County Officers of Justice have built a 3D diorama of the murder house to help jury members get an idea of what happened, lawyer Bill Thompson confirmed during the hearing on Thursday.
The model is a recreation of the house with six bedrooms, which Thompson described as ‘unusual at its best’. Public Prosecutors will use it to map the locations of the survivors and victims and to show the alleged path of Kherberger massacre.
Thompson described the Diorama as a “dollhouse” when he first asked permission to use it, but he admitted that the word “Dollhouse” was inappropriate given the seriousness of the situation. He called it a “model house” instead.
Until now, Kherberger’s lawyers have focused on trying to keep existing evidence against him out of the courtroom.
They have submitted motions to suppress most of the evidence that the persecution of plans to present, including DNA found on a bloody Messchede on the crime scene and images of the security camera of what the car of Kherberger seems to be circling the house of the students around the night before the murders.
The defense also asked the judge to ban the use of words, including ‘murder’, ‘murder weapon’, ‘psychopath’ and ‘bushy eyebrows’, and claimed that they would harm the jury.
