Idaho murders suspect
Bryan Kohberger could claim in his upcoming trial that the home where the four students were killed was a 'party house' to explain why his DNA was found there.

Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice says Kohberger's defense team could claim that the off-campus property
where the murders took place was a wild party house where plenty of students would go.
It comes after
FBI agents returned to the scene to collect more evidence, taking precise measurements of each room for 3D modeling that can be presented to the jury when the grisly case eventually goes to trial.

'One of the most important parts of this case is that DNA, and what we know is that this is a party house,' attorney Rice said in new documentary clip obtained by
The New York Post.
'We know that there are hundreds of kids in this house – it could have even included him.
'And the thing is, if he was in this house, are you suggesting that these four know everybody who's been there? I doubt that.'
'All of sudden, you might have a completely different trial,' he added in The Case Against Bryan Kohberger documentary which airs on Court TV on Sunday.
A knife sheath with Kohberger’s DNA on it was found by police alongside the bodies of the victims last year.
But the suspect's defense team could say that because hundreds of students may have previously partied inside the house, his DNA was could have been there before the murders, according to Rice.
The defense previously revealed that they would be contesting the notion that Kohberger's DNA was left at the scene on the knife sheath.
They also claim that DNA from three other unidentified men was also found at the Idaho crime scene.
Neighbor Jeremy Reagan claimed there were 'constantly people in and out of the home'.
But he added that the parties had slowed down before the murders took place.
