Bryan Kohberger will be back in court this week for hearings that will likely set the table for his trial later this summer.
The judge is set to issue a ruling on DNA evidence that prosecutors say ties Bryan Kohberger to the murder scene.
"The argument for the defense as to why the DNA should be thrown out is less about the result pointing to Bryan Kohberger but more about the science," said ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmire.
