Trial of Idaho Murder Suspect Kohberger Moved—Is Justice at Risk?

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, attorney Eric Faddis delves into the latest updates in Bryan Kohberger's case, particularly the strategic move to change the trial's venue. With the change of venue granted, Kohberger's defense team aims to distance the jury from the local biases of Moscow, Idaho, where the murders occurred. Faddis explains how delay tactics could work to the defense's advantage, allowing memories to fade and complicating the prosecution’s case. The conversation also explores the challenge of Kohberger’s alibi—claiming he was simply driving around—and the limited options his defense attorney, Ann Taylor, had to build a case. Despite early claims of exonerating evidence, Faddis suggests that the defense may be holding back key information to prevent the prosecution from exploiting weaknesses. Additionally, Faddis anticipates that Kohberger's parents could be called as witnesses, with the possibility that they might invoke their Fifth Amendment rights. Finally, Faddis hints at the potential for bombshell evidence to emerge once the trial moves forward, particularly from the digital footprint of the accused.
**Main Points:**
- The change of venue aims to provide Kohberger with a less biased jury and a fairer trial.
- Delay tactics could benefit the defense by causing witnesses to forget details and complicating the prosecution’s case.
- Kohberger’s alibi of "driving around" is weak and lacks witness support.
- Ann Taylor, Kohberger’s attorney, may be withholding evidence to prevent the prosecution from exploiting potential weaknesses.
- Kohberger's parents could be called as witnesses, but may invoke the Fifth Amendment.
- The prosecution and defense may have significant, yet undisclosed, evidence that could emerge during the trial.
- The trial is expected to begin in early 2025, likely around June.
