Bryan Kohberger's Guilty Plea Move Is 'No Coincidence'—Netflix Doc Producer
Joe Berlinger told Newsweek why he thinks Kohberger filed a petition seeking to withdraw his guilty plea in July.
The producer of a recent Netflix documentary about the murders of four University of Idaho students by Bryan Kohberger claims the timing of Kohberger's attempt to withdraw his guilty plea is no coincidence. Joe Berlinger, executive producer of "The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare," believes Kohberger's move to file a petition for post-conviction relief may have been prompted by the release of the docuseries' first trailer in mid-July, even though he had until September to make his challenge.
Berlinger stated that the timing of Kohberger's action was significant, as Netflix trailers often generate wide attention. He also noted that the docuseries focused on the victims rather than Kohberger, aiming to celebrate their lives and the tragic loss of their lives.
