Murder In Moscow: The Order Appointing A Lawyer To Defend Bryan Kohberger

After Bryan Kohberger was charged in Idaho with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary, the Latah County court appointed Anne Taylor to represent him as his public defender. Taylor was the chief public defender for Kootenai County and was qualified to handle capital cases, making her eligible to take on a prosecution that could result in the death penalty. The appointment was entered into the Idaho case immediately after Kohberger’s arrest, ensuring that he had qualified counsel in place before he was returned from Pennsylvania and began appearing in court in Moscow. Court records later listed Taylor as Kohberger’s court-appointed lead attorney in the Idaho proceedings.

Taylor’s appointment became significant almost immediately because her office had previously represented relatives of some of the victims in unrelated criminal matters, including Xana Kernodle’s mother. Those connections prompted questions about a possible conflict of interest, but Taylor told the court that she had not personally advised the former client in question, and Kohberger later confirmed that he wanted her to remain his attorney after the issue was examined in a closed hearing. The court allowed the representation to continue, and Taylor went on to lead Kohberger’s defense through the years of pretrial litigation that followed.
