Murder In Moscow: Anne Taylor And The Amount Of Money She Made Defending Kohberger

Anne Taylor, Bryan Kohberger’s lead defense attorney, was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for her work on the case. When she was initially appointed, Taylor’s compensation was set at $200 per hour because she was qualified to handle a capital murder defense. After responsibility for Kohberger’s defense shifted to the Idaho State Public Defender’s Office in October 2024, her rate dropped to $150 per hour. Public records later showed that Taylor received about $485,000 from the state from October 2024 forward, a figure that included billable hours as well as reimbursements for expenses such as travel, meals and lodging.

That $485,000 figure does not represent everything Taylor earned during the entire Kohberger case. Records detailing how much she was paid while Latah County was responsible for the defense remain sealed, meaning her total compensation from the beginning of the case has not been publicly established. Taylor had already been earning $200 an hour for her work before the state took over, and reporting described her overall earnings as reaching well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Kohberger’s entire publicly funded defense ultimately cost nearly $5.5 million, including attorneys, experts, investigators and other expenses, but the complete breakdown of exactly how much of that total went to Taylor remains unavailable.
