It’s not the first time Bryan Kohberger’s defense has raised the possibility of an alternative perpetrator or perpetrators in the deaths of four Idaho students.

The judge overseeing Bryan Kohberger's upcoming quadruple-murder trial says he wants to identify anyone who may have violated a gag order by leaking information from the investigation to news organizations or anyone else not directly involved with the case.

Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty for the quadruple murders. Death by a firing squad is an option in Idaho.
