Madison Mogen fought back.

Idaho investigators found a three-person mixture of DNA under the 21-year-old University of Idaho undergrad’s fingernails after she and three friends were killed in her off-campus rental home in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022, according to court filings.

Bicka Barlow, a defense attorney who specializes in attacking DNA evidence and who was recently added to suspect Bryan Kohberger’s defense team, wants to limit testimony on the fingernail scrapings at trial, however.

She says they don’t match her client.

His trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 11, and he could face the death penalty if convicted. 

Latah County Judge John Judge entered not guilty pleas on his behalf at his arraignment in May 2023.

The case is now being overseen by Judge Steven Hippler in Boise.
