Bryan Kohberger Seeks Judge's Removal and Venue Change to Undo 4-Murder Guilty Plea

Summary
Thursday motions filed by new court-appointed lawyer Gregory Rauch ask a court to disqualify the judge and move Bryan Kohberger's case as he tries to withdraw his guilty plea.
Kohberger now claims he is innocent and says his defense team pushed him into making a false confession, forming the basis of his bid to undo the plea.
The challenge comes after Kohberger was convicted of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students and later appeared for sentencing in Boise in July 2025.
The filing opens a new phase in one of Idaho's highest-profile murder cases, with the court now set to weigh whether his plea can be revisited.
