Is Kohberger's Defense Rooted On The Lies Of A Mad Man?
Aug 01, 2023, 01:00 AM
In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and guest forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga delve into the ongoing case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of the heinous murder of four University of Idaho students in 2022. They discuss the defense's latest allegations of planted DNA evidence and the failure of Kohberger to provide an alibi as demanded by the court.
Wallinga commented, "Clearly they are throwing spaghetti at the wall. Let's make anything, and that's the defense's job. Sure. The defense's job is to make sure that the police followed procedure to the letter."
Commenting on the defense’s strategy, Wallinga pointed out the approach seems to question everything, no matter how far-fetched the claim might appear. She equated Kohberger's silence on the alibi to his decision to prolong a game he thinks he can win. In response to the question on what it means for Kohberger not to produce an alibi, Wallinga unequivocally stated, "He doesn't have one."
She emphasized that for someone willing to stab four people to death, lying about an alibi is insignificant. She stated, "if you're willing to do that, then lying about an alibi is nothing. It's no big."
Drawing parallels with the case of Peter Porco and his wife, Wallinga highlighted the potential for false alibis and pointed out that if Kohberger had an alibi, he would have presented it by now. However, so far, there is no evidence supporting his claim of innocence.
She also pointed out the significant fact that despite Kohberger’s repeated claims about looking forward to exoneration, no evidence has been presented that supports his innocence. Wallinga commented, "I'm fascinated by the fact that with all of the press conferences and so on, all of the motions in court, they're not letting him speak." She further speculates that his silence is intentional, suggesting his words might be off-putting and unempathetic, which would not serve his defense well.
Brueski and Wallinga’s discussion offers listeners a deep dive into the intricacies of Kohberger's defense strategy, exploring the machinations behind the accusations of planted evidence and the conspicuous lack of an alibi. It paints a picture of a complex and high-stakes legal battle where the truth continues to be elusive, and the game, as Wallinga suggests, is far from over.
