Court records reveal how Bryan Kohberger spent more than $10,000 sent to him in prison

He has just $177 left

Bryan Kohberger has received more than $10,000 while in prison, and according to newly released court records, he’s already spent almost all of it.

The man serving four consecutive life sentences for murdering four University of Idaho students has shared his prison financial records as part of his latest attempt to undo his guilty plea. The documents reveal not only how much money has been sent to him since entering prison, but also where a huge chunk of it is likely going.

Kohberger, 31, pleaded guilty last year to the murders of Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, who were stabbed to death inside their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, during the early hours of 13 November 2022.

Since being sentenced, Kohberger has been held at Idaho Maximum Security Institution, where he reportedly spends 23 hours a day locked inside his cell.

Despite previously admitting guilt, Kohberger is now trying to withdraw his plea. In a statement to The New York Times, he claimed: “My actual innocence is my truth, and the plea, hinged on by false promises and blatant disinformation, MUST be withdrawn.”

His new legal team, led by Idaho lawyer Greg Rauch, included Kohberger’s prison financial statements with the filing. According to court documents obtained by Law&Crime, the records show he received $10,812.13 over the past year.

The overwhelming majority came from his mother, Maryann Kohberger, who reportedly transferred him more than $9,000 while he has been incarcerated.

But she wasn’t the only person sending him cash. Fox News reporter Michael Ruiz, who also reviewed the documents, said 19 other people have donated money to Kohberger alongside the regular payments from his mum.

The records also show he’s spent virtually every penny.

Over the past year, Kohberger spent $10,635.10, leaving just $177.03 in his prison account.

The prison shop sells everything from snacks and drinks to skincare products, toiletries, clothing, dietary supplements and even electronics like televisions and CD players.

While incarcerated at the Latah County Jail before his sentencing, Kohberger was able to order extra food and toiletries and to use telephones and tablets.

According to Fox News, at the larger jail in Ada County, the commissary offers “candy, snacks, beverages, writing materials, and shoes and clothing.” A public-facing website allows people to buy bundles including junk food, “elite protein,” hair care products and new socks for inmates.
