SUSPECTED killer Bryan Kohberger could use student party house defense which could change the trial, a lawyer has claimed.

Kohberger is set to stand trial later this month for the deaths of four University of Idaho students who had been brutally stabbed in their off-campus home in November 2022.

He has maintained his innocence after not-guilty pleas to four charges of first-degree murder and one charge of burglary were entered on his behalf in May.

Monday marked one year from when police discovered the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves and her best friend Madison Mogen, both 22, as well as Xana Kernodle, 21, and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20.

The details of the case against the 28-year-old suspect will be laid out in a new documentary on CourtTV on Sunday called “The Case Against Bryan Kohberger.”

Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice detailed in the documentary how Kohberger’s defense team may blame DNA find on the fact the Moscow home was a so-called “party house.”

“One of the most important parts of this case is that DNA and what we know is that this is a party house,” Rice says in a clip given to The Post.

“We know that there are hundreds of kids in this house – it could have even included him.

“And the thing is, if he was in this house, are you suggesting that these four know everybody whose been there? I doubt it.”

“All of a sudden, you might have a completely different trial,” he added.

When cops searched the home following the murders, a knife sheath was found alongside the bodies of the students and was found to have Kohberger’s DNA on it.

Neighbor Jeremy Reagan told the documentary makers that there were “constantly people in and out of the home.”

However, he noted that before the murders, this had quietened down quite a bit.

While awaiting trial, the families of the victims and the 28-year-old suspect have appeared in court for a series of hearings.

Goncalves’ mother Kristi told NewsNation that Kohberger’s behavior and appearance in court make her sick.

“It makes me sick that he sits there in his suit, and he sits there and taps his hands,” the heartbroken mother said.

She noted her shock and disgust at Kohberger “not in handcuffs, not in shackles, one or the other, or both, and in orange.”

The suspect initially attended hearings in court wearing the traditional orange jumpsuit but shortly after he began wearing a suit and tie.

“It makes me sick that he sits there in his suit, and he sits there and taps his hands,” the heartbroken mother said.

Both Kristi and Steve have spoken out about their desire for Kohberger to face the death penalty if found guilty.

The Goncalves family is anxious for justice after the judge announced that Kohberger’s trial, which was supposed to begin on October 2, would be pushed back indefinitely.

Prosecutors requested the delay in the trial to give themselves time to create 3D models of the crime scene, according to a statement from the university.

FBI investigators revisited the Moscow house on October 31 and November 1 to conduct further investigations.
