A man who pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students now wants to withdraw his plea. Bryan Kohberger claims the plea was based on false information. He made this claim in a statement and reiterated it in a phone interview with The New York Times.

Kohberger asserts his innocence, but did not provide evidence or details to support his claim. This is his first public comment on the case. The New York Times reports that it is rare for defendants to successfully challenge a conviction like this.

Further details on the case and Kohberger's allegations are available from The New York Times.
