LaBar said that once Kohberger is extradited back to Idaho, he plans to ask the court for a public defender.
“He does not have the funding to get a private attorney,” LaBar said.
LaBar said he reached out to the Idaho Public Defense Commission to get an attorney “assigned as soon as possible.”
LaBar said he spoke to Kohberger and his parents, and because it is possible that Idaho prosecutors will seek the death penalty — which would increase the cost of trying the case — they wouldn’t be able to afford a private attorney.
