Bill Thompson
Bill Thompson is the Latah County Prosecuting Attorney involved in the high-profile case against Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. Recently, Thompson filed a motion to block Kohberger's defense from presenting an 'alternative perpetrator' theory at trial, arguing that the evidence of unidentified blood samples found at the crime scene does not meet the relevance and admissibility standards set by Idaho law. His legal arguments seek to strengthen the prosecution's position as Kohberger's trial approaches.
