Bryan Kohberger, 31, pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students. But experts for his defense team have cooperated with the author of a new book to reveal what they claim were key issues with the evidence used to arrest him for the murders of Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle. Chris Whitcomb writes about issues that one expert claimed could have led to the Ka-Bar knife sheath being excluded from the trial. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy talks with Whitcomb about his claims in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

Update: Since this episode of Crime Fix was published, Bryan Kohberger's attorneys issued a press release on the claims made by the expert in this book: "We write regarding the recent statements made by Brent Turvey. He was an expert hired by the defense late in the case. His confidentiality agreement was signed October 30, 2024 and continues to this day. The agreement with Mr. Turvey was crystal clear that all materials, as well as any opinions that he developed as an expert were to be kept confidential. Mr. Turvey was reminded, when the court lifted the non-dissemination order, the duty of confidentiality continued until he was released from it by the defense. In his role as an expert, Mr. Turvey was asked solely to provide an opinion about the crime scene, nothing else. As such he had access to view some items related to the case. He was one of many experts relied upon by the defense team in this case. Mr. Turvey has not been released from his confidentiality agreement, and is now speaking about topics that are still confidential, many of which are outside of his areas of expertise. The defense team is appalled by Mr. Turvey's behavior and his release of documents and information that he knows are confidential. It is the opinion of the defense team that Mr. Turvey's conduct falls outside of the ethical and legal norms that are applied to experts in criminal cases and his reliability should be seen through the lens of this conduct."
