    Bryan Kohberger Wants To 'Look His Best' In Quadruple Murder Trial
    Sep 27 2024
    Did you know that what a defendant wears to court can actually influence how a jury sees them? One high-profile murder suspect's legal team is trying to keep their client out of the orange jumpsuit and in a suit and tie, arguing that it makes him look better in front of the jury. But, the victims' families are outraged, claiming that it's disrespectful to the memory of the victims. This case raises questions about perception in the courtroom - does someone look more innocent in a suit?

    This isn't just a fashion show, it's a legal battleground, and both sides have something to prove. We'll break down why the defense is fighting so hard for their client to look his best, and why the families of the victims say this is just another way for the accused to escape justice.

  • RAW COURT AUDIO-Idaho Student Murders — ID v. Bryan Kohberger — Hearing

    RAW COURT AUDIO-Idaho Student Murders — ID v. Bryan Kohberger — Hearing
    Sep 26 2024
    Accused Idaho Killer Bryan Kohberger Appeared in New Court After Venue Change

    Bryan Kohberger, the suspect charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students, made his first court appearance in Boise after successfully obtaining a venue change. The hearing marked his first appearance before a new judge after the case was relocated. Kohberger, if convicted, faced the possibility of the death penalty.

    The session was brief, primarily focused on procedural updates. “It was just a check-in, since the case was moved, and probably just to let the parties know what he expects going forward,” Boise-based defense lawyer Edwina Elcox, who was not involved in the case, told Fox News Digital.

    The venue change signaled a new phase in the widely publicized case that had captured national attention since the killings nearly two years prior. Kohberger was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. The victims, all students at the University of Idaho, were found in their off-campus home, leading to an extensive investigation that eventually led authorities to Kohberger.

    At his arraignment the previous year, Kohberger had pleaded not guilty to all charges. The former judge had entered those pleas on his behalf, setting the stage for the ongoing legal battle.

    A significant part of Kohberger’s defense strategy was a motion to dismiss the death penalty as an option. A hearing to address this issue was scheduled for November 7 at the Ada County courthouse in Boise. The decision on whether capital punishment would remain on the table was a critical point in the case as it moved closer to trial.

    While the hearing did not result in major developments, legal experts observed that the new judge took the opportunity to establish his authority. “There weren’t any surprises,” Elcox remarked, “but the judge made it clear how he planned to manage the proceedings moving forward.”

    As the legal process continued, the public and the families of the victims awaited further updates, particularly concerning the looming decision on the death penalty.

  • Bryan Kohberger Appears in Court in Orange Jumpsuit, Motion to Dismiss Denied

    Bryan Kohberger Appears in Court in Orange Jumpsuit, Motion to Dismiss Denied
    Sep 25 2024
    Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the killings of four University of Idaho students, made an appearance in court as his legal team continued their attempts to challenge the indictment against him. Kohberger, who has consistently denied involvement in the November murders, attended the hearing dressed in an orange jumpsuit, a notable departure from his usual formal attire during past appearances. This wardrobe choice was reportedly made at Kohberger's own request, according to his defense attorneys. At the heart of the hearing was a motion filed by the defense, asking the court to dismiss the indictment on the grounds of alleged irregularities in the grand jury process. The defense argued that the indictment process may have been compromised, suggesting that it did not meet the necessary legal standards. “We believe there are significant issues with how the grand jury was convened and the information they were provided,” Kohberger's defense team stated during the hearing. Judge John Judge, who has presided over several proceedings in the case, denied the defense’s request. In his ruling, Judge Judge noted that there was no substantial evidence to suggest that the grand jury had been improperly influenced or that the indictment should be dismissed. “The court has found no merit in the defense’s claims. The grand jury proceedings were conducted properly, and the indictment stands,” Judge Judge said in response to the motion. This decision represents a setback for Kohberger’s defense, which has been seeking to identify flaws in the investigation and the legal procedures leading up to the trial. Despite the denial of the motion, the defense signaled they would continue to explore other avenues of defense as they prepare for trial. They have consistently pointed to possible investigative errors, including the handling of evidence and the timeline of the investigation. Kohberger’s trial is expected to attract widespread attention, given the high-profile nature of the case. The killings of four University of Idaho students in November sent shockwaves through the small college town of Moscow, Idaho, and sparked a nationwide manhunt for the suspect. Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania weeks after the murders, and authorities have been building a case against him ever since. In light of the latest court developments, the prosecution has expressed confidence in moving forward. “We remain focused on presenting the facts of this case and ensuring justice is served for the victims and their families,” a representative from the prosecutor’s office stated. As the trial date approaches, legal experts expect the defense to raise additional motions and arguments, particularly concerning the methods used in gathering evidence and the role of law enforcement in identifying Kohberger as the prime suspect. However, with the indictment now firmly upheld, the path to trial appears clearer. Kohberger, despite his continued presence in court, has maintained his silence during many of the legal proceedings, leaving much of the talking to his defense team. His decision to appear in an orange jumpsuit, usually reserved for inmates, was explained by his lawyers as a personal preference rather than an indication of any strategic shift in his defense. While this latest hearing has brought no significant changes to the trajectory of the case, it highlights the continued legal wrangling that is likely to define the months leading up to the trial. Both the defense and the prosecution appear to be gearing up for a complex and closely-watched legal battle that will ultimately determine Kohberger’s fate. As the community of Moscow, Idaho, continues to grapple with the tragedy, the upcoming trial will be pivotal in bringing closure to the families of the victims, who have awaited justice for nearly a year. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kaylee-goncalves-family-attend-trial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The amount of commercials on this make it very hard to listen to

So I like the story line and how they have organized but I had to stop listening due to the amount of commercials. 3 to 7 minutes of the same repetitive ads ruined the whole podcast for me. I listen to podcasts while I’m working and doing school work. A little less monetizing would probably put this podcast further.
