Prosecutors are yet to provide a motive for Kohberger, and it remains unclear if he knew any of the victims. 
He believes he’s going to be exonerated. That’s what he believes said his public defender, Jason LaBar.  
Those details are expected to emerge in the probable cause affidavit, a charging document that remains sealed but that will become public once Kohberger is back in Idaho. 
Kohberger’s family insists he is innocent. 
‘They don’t believe it to be Bryan. They can’t believe this. 
‘This is certainly completely out of character, the allegations, and really they’re just trying to be supportive with the understanding these four families have suffered loss, so they’re sympathetic towards that, and that’s why it should remain really private and they don’t want to try this case in the court of public opinion,’ LaBar told NBC News.
LaBar said Kohberger has been ‘easy to talk to’ and is confident he will be exonerated.
‘He believes he’s going to be exonerated. That’s what he believes. Those were his words. He’s been very easy to talk to. Actually, he’s in a calm demeanor.’ 

LaBar also told ABC News that he is ‘calm’ and ‘polite’ behind bars, where corrections officers have been ‘very accommodating’ of his vegan diet. 
He added that Kohberger ‘understands the seriousness’ of the charges and that the death penalty is on the table. 
He is said to have told his attorney: ‘This will be a long process.’ 
LaBar has ordered a psychiatric evaluation after learning of how Kohberger has behaved behind bars. 
KHQ reports that he’d been sitting ‘in a ball on the floor’, barely speaking to guards. 
LaBar, a public defender appointed by the court in Pennsylvania is not expected to represent the suspect in Idaho. LaBar no other private attorneys had come forward to offer their services to his client or his family.
‘They’re not hiring an attorney. 
‘Given the situation, given the charges, no attorneys have reached out to them, and they’re not anticipating hiring an attorney,’ he said. 
He has been in contact with Idaho’s Public Defense Commission to help the family find a new attorney.
