So glad you're streaming with us today.
Brian Koberger, the University of Idaho murder suspect,
is facing a deadline to provide an alibi on where
he was the night of the killings.
The judge in the case requesting
Koberger's lawyers give more details about the former PhD students
whereabouts at the time four students were stabbed to death
in that off campus home.
Cobur's lawyers claim in a previous court filing that the
suspected murderer was instead driving around alone,
as he often did in the late evening and early
morning hours when those murders were actually committed.
Back in 2022, he faces four counts of first degree
murder in addition to 1 count of felony burglary.
Our Alex Stone is following the investigation out of LA.
So Alex, what can we expect from Coburger's lawyers you
think,
well, maybe nothing today. Kira,
we don't know his attorneys.
This is a deadline today that to give a more
detailed accounting of his alibi,
the judges said today is that date.
He wants answers on it more than just generally.
He was driving around and that he liked to drive
around at night time and
that he he would just kind of roam around in
his car and then go home at the end of
the night.
The judge and the defense are saying no,
that they need where he was specifically in what witnesses
they plan to call to,
to try to prove that.
But Kerry, you got to think about if he was
just driving around innocent or guilty.
How do you prove that if he wasn't interacting with
anybody.
Yeah, if he wasn't over at somebody's house,
if he didn't go into a convenience store and buy
something.
So they may not be able to to offer anybody
up.
But the judge is saying today is that date.
If they do not give anything,
the judge could say, well then you can't use that
alibi at all in the trial.
We don't know when the trial will be,
but you can't use that alibi at all when it
comes to to trial time.
And that's really their only alibi,
because there is the evidence,
the video showing him driving around.
Police say that they know from his cell phone pings
that he was driving around the the Moscow area in
Leytah County.
So they can't make that general claim that,
well, this is just what he does,
He likes to drive around.
Well, then what other alibi do they come up with?
And at this point we don't know.
So it's been, what, more than a year and a
half since these brutal slayings?
Still no trial insight. When could that change?
We don't know when there will be a trial.
So next month there is going to be a hearing
and this is all leading up to a change of
venue hearing next month when his team wants it out
of Layton County, they say there's been too much publicity.
They've actually been admonished for doing surveys in the area
asking people what they know about the case to try
to prove to the judge that that there is too
much publicity in the the Layton County area.
They even said where they want it to go somewhere
else in Idaho,
but they want it out of that that area.
The prosecution is saying no,
that they can get a fair trial in Late Talk
County that they wanted to be there.
But at this point, we don't know when the eventual
trial will be.
We don't know where it's going to be.
All of that still up in the air.
