In this Case Brief, we are diving into the latest update from the Bryan Kohberger case: the contentious restitution hearing where the defense and prosecution sparred over additional payments to the victims' families.

Despite a prior stipulation on restitution, the State attempted to add two more victims' families to the order, initially seeking payment for travel and lodging expenses. However, after the defense objected, the prosecution was forced to admit a critical error in their plea agreement and withdrew the request for the larger amounts.

This left the court focused on a single, sensitive issue: restitution for the victims' urns (funeral expenses). Even for this smaller, funeral-related cost, the defense fought against the order, arguing their client had no ability to pay. The judge issued a stern warning, questioning the defense's strategy and revealing previously sealed information about the five figures worth of dollars Kohberger had received in his prison account.
