Sunday Thoughts: Go to the Well!
Since his arrest, Bryan Kohberger has been the prime suspect in the search for who killed Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen. When this case is eventually brought in front of a judge, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Kohberger was the perpetrator. But the new Investigation Discovery documentary which premiered on March 12 titled, “The Idaho College Murders,” posits that Kohberger’s defense will use the prosecution’s burden of proof against them. According to Fox 13, Kohberger’s lawyer is public defense attorney Anne Taylor, who also previously represented two of the victims’ parents.
Former New York City homicide prosecutor, Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi, explains in the documentary how the murder scene’s reputation could be utilized by the defense. “That is a home that is known as THE house if you want a good party for years,” Nicolazzi noted. “So there are people in and out. How do you know without any reasonable doubt that it’s HIM in that house?”

In short, the defense team’s goal is to cast any sort of doubt on the idea that Kohberger was the only one who could have committed these crimes. That way, if even one jury member finds this to be a compelling argument and continuously votes that Kohberger is not guilty, then the trial could result in a hung jury, prompting a mistrial.
