In a new court filing released Thursday evening, prosecutors say Kohberger's argument for tossing the indictment "rests entirely on an erroneous legal theory," and "should be denied."
This latest filing comes on the eve of Kohberger's next scheduled appearance in court -- a pretrial hearing Friday, at which he is expected to attend in person, though his request to dismiss the indictment is not currently slated for address at that appearance. In a separate new filing Thursday evening, Kohberger's defense engaged another DNA expert, who gave a declaration.
After a six-week hunt, police zeroed in on Kohberger as a suspect, saying they tracked his white Hyundai Elantra and cellphone signal data, and recovered what authorities said was his DNA on a knife sheath found next to one of the victims' bodies. The defense has been asking for more information on those genealogical analyses used to zero in on a suspect -- and they haveon the strength of investigators' evidence, and whether it pointed irrefutably to just their client.
