Lawyer for Suspect in University of Idaho Murders Claims He Was Out on a Drive That Night
“Mr. Kohberger has long had a habit of going for drives alone.”
In terms of an alibi, this is pretty weak. Who believes this?

Lawyer for Idaho college killings suspect Bryan Kohberger says he was driving alone night of murders
Bryan Kohberger, the doctoral candidate accused of killing four Idaho college students last fall, says he wasn’t in the home where the homicides occurred and was driving around alone that night, according to a new court filing.
Kohberger’s lawyer said the defense “cannot be more specific” about what witnesses would say to back up that claim “at this time,” but that would emerge amid examination of discovery materials, as well as what witnesses will say during the upcoming trial.
Attorneys for Kohberger explained in the new court document submitted Wednesday and released Thursday that the man charged in the quadruple killing that has made headlines for months would often drive around solo.
“Mr. Kohberger has long had a habit of going for drives alone. Often he would go for drives at night. He did so late on November 12 and into November 13, 2022,” Kohberger attorney Anne Taylor wrote. “Mr. Kohberger is not claiming to be at a specific location at a specific time; at this time there is not a specific witness to say precisely where Mr. Kohberger was at each moment of the hours between late night November 12, 2022, and early morning November 13, 2022. He was out, driving during the late night and early morning hours of November 12-13, 2022.”
Information about Kohberger’s driving habit comes in response to prosecution requests to explain whether his lawyers would claim at trial that their client had an alibi for where he was on the night of the murders, and the specific location where he claims to have been instead.

My follow-up question would then be “so there are other victims.” Wait, that wasn’t a question.
