Bryan Kohberger seeks judge’s removal in escalating bid to undo guilty plea

Bryan Kohberger is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea for the murders of four University of Idaho students, he was coerced him into a false confession.

Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, is asking a court to disqualify the judge in his case and has asked for a change of venue as he attempts to take back his guilty plea. 

Motions for both requests were filed Thursday by Kohberger's new court-appointed attorney, Gregory Rauch. The move came after Kohberger was convicted of first-degree murder. 

He has since claimed that he is innocent and has blamed his defense team for leading him to make a false confession.
