Conspiracy Against Kohberger? We Think Not.
Aug 03, 2023, 09:00 PM
In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski had an engaging discussion with former Federal Prosecutor and attorney, Eric Faddis, about the ongoing Bryan Kohberger case.
Kohberger, an average student at a university, is facing serious murder charges. His defense lawyers have yet to provide a strong alibi, which is causing widespread speculation about his innocence or guilt.
"I've thought about this case for a while," Faddis said during the discussion. He pointed out that if Kohberger had been elsewhere during the murder, there would likely be tangible evidence. "If he was at his place where he was living near his school and he was on the internet, his IP address would potentially show internet activity at that location," Faddis explained.
However, no such evidence has been presented. The lack of an alibi, coupled with a vague and non-committal filing from Kohberger's lawyers, led Faddis to conclude, "There probably isn't any ironclad alibi here."
Host Tony Brueski concurred, posing the question, "If you have something to exonerate your client with, then why are we not bringing it to the table right now?" The defense's half-hearted suggestion of an alibi doesn't necessarily disprove that Kohberger was at the scene of the murders, but it does signal a potential strategy to undermine the prosecution's evidence.
Moreover, the defense has made some bold claims, such as the allegation that the police planted DNA evidence on a knife sheath. Drawing parallels to the OJ Simpson case, Brueski and Faddis speculated about the defense's intentions. Could these audacious claims be designed to sow the seeds of reasonable doubt in a potential juror pool?
"It's a bold claim," Faddis acknowledged, referencing the allegation about planted DNA. He warned that making such a statement without solid support could be seen as "somewhat irresponsible." However, he maintained an open-minded perspective, suggesting the defense might have evidence to back up this audacious allegation.
The death penalty looms large in this case, and Brueski and Faddis explored its potential impact on both the prosecution and the defense. Faddis noted that the defense might be using this strategy to accumulate as many points of doubt as possible, with the goal of avoiding a death sentence for their client.
"In most states, all the defense needs is one person on that jury of 12 for a death penalty case. Who says, eh, I don't know. I'm not sure I'm in favor of death for this person," Faddis said. This tactic could stoke the ire of the prosecution, potentially leading them to push harder for the death penalty due to the audacious claims made by the defense.
As the Bryan Kohberger case continues to unfold, the truth remains elusive. However, one thing is certain: the strategies adopted by both the defense and prosecution will shape the outcome of this high-profile case. As they navigate the balance between presenting their narratives and maintaining the integrity of the legal process, audiences can expect more captivating discussions on "Hidden Killers."
