I still feel like it was a mistake to tear down that house.

Meth residue is difficult and costly to eliminate. Far cheaper to demolish the structure and rebuild at some point in the future. That's the only reason I can think of to demolish it before a verdict has been rendered.

So you found that odd as well? I was gobsmacked when I first heard that was to be done and I thought that surely there is some mistake.

The coroner was the public defender for a local trafficker that had been arrested prior to the murders. The same one that ruled toxicology would play no part in the Kohberger prosecution. The first Kohberger Judge let this trafficker out on furlough shortly before the murders, he failed to return and was rearrested some time later. He ended up pleading guilty and received probation for charges that should have sent him to prison for 10 years minimum.

Add that to the demolition of the crime scene and I don't think there's any doubt that there's a coverup.

Do we know who is paying for the alleged murderer's attorney/s?

The public.

Not impressed. Sorry to sound like Debbie Downer, but that's about where this defense is headed, down the crapper.

Logsdon graduated from a good law school, Boston University, but maybe last in his class? He is not an impressive lawyer. He is active in gay rights. He worked for a non profit poverty center out of college and had no other legal experience before working for the Kootenai public defender's office.

Logsdon mainly does drug cases, assault, domestic abuse, shoplifting, etc. And he's not really even good at those. Here are only two examples:

He lost an appeal to modify the defendant's sentence in a drug case because he did not use the correct term in the motion. He aparrently did not understand the difference between concurrent and consecutive, so actually appealed asking for the same sentence the defendant already received. DUH?

Logsdon lost a shoplifting case where a man stole a calculator in Walmart and then returned it for a gift receipt because he was starving and had no money. The man had no prior theft convictions. The man ended up convicted of a felony and Logsdon's attempt at getting the charge reduced to a misdemeanor failed because he did not use the correct case citations in his argument and asked the wrong questions of the defendant during his testimony. BOOM

Taylor has about the same track record. Mostly drug cases. The one case she had long ago that everybody holds up like a banner was a washout. Yes, she did get the man's conviction overeturned, but he was re-tried and convicted again. Her basis for the reversal was based on flawed analysis of the prosecution's expert witness testimony, in other words, the man she accused to lying was found to not be lying. It was Taylor's investigator who presented flawed data.

No way in hell are either of these attorneys qualified or experienced in the way needed to defend BK. It's a dog and pony show. The term good Idahoan lawyer is an oxymoron.

Thanks, Mark, I'm glad to know all that.

That was copy and paste from Redditt.

What was the explanation for why the case has been so slow to move forward?

[BigMark]

I have a Black belt in Google Fu but don't be lazy.

[rothschild]

I've already laid out my reasoning and it wasn't copypasta.


The hearing going on is important. Stay tuned.

I did not see this coming. 

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Bryan Kohberger has agreed to plead guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students as part of a deal with prosecutors to avoid the death penalty, multiple media outlets reported Monday.

The news was delivered to families of the victims in a letter from prosecutors, according to ABC News.
Kohberger, 30, is accused in the stabbing deaths of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves at a rental home near campus in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022. Autopsies showed the four were all likely asleep when they were attacked, some had defensive wounds and each was stabbed multiple times.

Goncalves’ family expressed outrage in a Facebook post: “We are beyond furious at the State of Idaho. They have failed us. Please give us some time. This was very unexpected.”

Kohberger, then a criminal justice graduate student at Washington State University, was arrested in Pennsylvania weeks after the killings. Investigators said they matched his DNA to genetic material recovered from a knife sheath found at the crime scene.

Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to the murders of four University of Idaho students on Wednesday.


He confessed in the Boise courtroom to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

After admitting to those crimes, which took place on Nov. 13, 2022, Judge Steven Hippler called on Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson to lay out the details of the case against Kohberger.

Thompson shared many details of the case which had been previously known, including video footage of a car similar to Kohberger's near the scene of the crime on the night of the murders and his purchase on Amazon of the same weapon used in the murders.

Another key detail shared by Thompson was the fact that Kohberger returned to the murder scene just a few hours after brutally stabbing his four victims to death, but before their bodies had been discovered by their surviving roommates.

Thompson said that Kohberger's phone was tracked to the residence at around 9 a.m. and remained there for approximately 10 minutes before he returned to his dormitory at Washington State University in Pullman.
Once back at his dorm, the normally stoic Kohberger took a selfie of himself grinning while making a thumbs-up gesture.

Kohberger and his attorney appeared in court just two days after striking a deal with prosecutors.
In exchange for Kohberger's guilty plea on four counts of murder and one count of burglary, the prosecution agreed not to seek the death penalty and instead recommended a term of four life sentences for each murder plus 10 years for the burglary to be served consecutively.

Kohberger also waived his right to file an appeal.

His sentencing has now been scheduled for July 23, at which time he is set to learn his fate.

The decision to make a deal with Kohberger has divided the victims' families, with the Mogen and Chapin families coming out in support of the deal and Kernodle and Goncalves families saying they wanted the case to go to trial.

He dead.

[Duchess]

He stood before everyone and admitted to killing them. Death would be too easy

[rothschild]

He stood before everyone and admitted to killing them.

The plea bargain required him to do that.

[BigMark]

The AB will kill him quick he would have been safer in death row.

[rothschild]

They probably know who the real killers are.
