  • Kohberger Has No Valid Alibi, What Next?

    Kohberger Has No Valid Alibi, What Next?
    May 7 2024
    In a recent episode of the podcast 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' former prosecutor Eric Faddis discussed the ongoing case against Bryan Kohberger, who has been accused of a serious crime but has presented a questionable alibi involving his fondness for nocturnal activities like hiking under the moon and stars. This alibi has been scrutinized due to the lack of corroborative evidence and because Kohberger's cell phone was reportedly off during the time of the alleged crimes. Faddis elaborates on the legal complexities of presenting an alibi defense, the standards required for its acceptance, and the implications of failing to establish a convincing alibi. He also touched on the potential change of trial venue due to community and defendant's rights to a fair trial, illustrating the strategic maneuvers in high-profile legal battles.

    Main Points:
    - Bryan Kohberger's defense has offered an alibi involving his interest in the moon and stars, which the prosecution has challenged due to the lack of supportive evidence.
    - The defense's claim is weakened by the absence of an active cell phone to track Kohberger's location during the time of the alleged crimes.
    - Legal requirements for an alibi include substantial evidence, typically from a witness, which Kohberger's defense does not have.
    - If the alibi is deemed insufficient, the defense may need to indirectly suggest Kohberger's absence from the crime scene during the trial.
    - The decision on the trial's venue is pending, balancing community interests against the necessity of a fair trial to avoid appellate issues.

  • RAW COURT AUDIO: Courtroom Showdown: Bryan Kohberger's Defense Clashes with Prosecutors Over Evidence Transparency in Idaho Murder Case

    RAW COURT AUDIO: Courtroom Showdown: Bryan Kohberger's Defense Clashes with Prosecutors Over Evidence Transparency in Idaho Murder Case
    May 2 2024
    In a tense courtroom session in Moscow, Idaho, Bryan Kohberger, the Ph.D. student facing charges for the murders of four University of Idaho students, contested a prosecution motion to close an upcoming hearing concerning key genetic evidence. Kohberger’s defense team levied serious accusations against the FBI, claiming that vital evidence had been altered before being handed over, including a surveillance video purportedly placing Kohberger’s vehicle at the crime scene.

    During Thursday's hearing, Anne Taylor, Kohberger’s lead defense attorney and the Kootenai County public defender, disclosed frustrations with the prosecution's handling of evidence. "The public needs to know that they've withheld the audio," Taylor revealed, suggesting that the full extent of the surveillance recordings had not been shared with the defense or the public.

    The courtroom battle is not just over the evidence, but also its visibility to the public. Taylor and her team are advocating for an open discovery hearing, opposing the prosecution's request for a closed session. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ashley Jennings argued that the proceedings have been and should remain under seal to protect the integrity of the ongoing case.

    "This is entirely inconsistent," Jennings stated during the proceedings, emphasizing that the state would ensure transparency when appropriate, but maintained that "now is not the time for that."

    The defense's motion suggests a growing concern over public perception and the potential influence of pretrial publicity. Taylor accused the prosecutors of trying to keep the evidence "in a vacuum," thus controlling how the public perceives Kohberger's involvement in the crimes. "Bryan's the one with the right," she argued, referencing his Sixth Amendment rights to a public hearing.

    Judge John Judge, presiding over the hearing, expressed skepticism about the necessity of a fully public hearing at this stage. "I totally understand that Mr. Kohberger has a constitutional right to a public trial, but having a hearing is not a trial," he clarified. He hinted at the possibility of a closed-door hearing with subsequent information release, aiming to balance judicial transparency with the necessity of confidentiality during ongoing investigations.

    As the hearing progressed, tensions flared, prompting Judge to call for professionalism. "Tone it down," he urged the attorneys, indicating the intense emotions and stakes involved in the proceedings.

    The debate over the handling of the video evidence — specifically, the edited version allegedly connecting Kohberger to the crime scene — continues to stir controversy. David Gelman, a former prosecutor and defense attorney from New Jersey, sided with Taylor's perspective on the necessity of unedited evidence. "Prosecutors should not have handed over an edited video," Gelman commented, highlighting the critical role of complete and unaltered evidence in ensuring a fair trial.

    The strategic legal battles in Kohberger’s case may also influence the trial's location, with discussions about potentially moving it out of Latah County to ensure a less biased jury pool. This legal maneuvering underscores the complexities of a case that has captured national attention, setting the stage for further dramatic developments as both sides prepare for the upcoming trial phases.

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.
