Speaker 3: In the Idaho's student murder case, prosecutors say Daniel Koberger's

32
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: defense team will argue that DNA evidence tying him to

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: the crime scene could have been planted. Latta County prosecute

34

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: knife sheath found in the victim's home, but will argue

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: it doesn't prove he was there and may have been

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: placed by someone else. Coburger is accused of killing for

Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. Investigators say they use genetic genealogy to

42
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: link Coburger to the knife sheath. His defense tried to

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: exclude that evidence, but a judge ruled it will remain

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,160

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,279
