““Don’t bother with the fact that the evidence shows clearly that he didn’t do this and had absolutely no motive to do this,” he added."
This seems like a mistake by his lawyer in the closing argument. You as the defense have no burden to prove that he didn’t do this and only have burden to show that the prosecution DID NOT prove that he did it. If your claim is that the evidence shows that he clearly didnt do it, and there is any piece of evidence that shows that he was culpable in some way, then you are shooting your entire argument in the foot.
Yea watched it with the gf and discussing it we both thought son/coverup was legit.
The note left on back stairs, the note being absurd, the pen and paper were from house, kid clearly ate pineapple with the parents and they just lied that it didn’t happen like some intruder decided to give the kid pineapple before taking her downstairs gmafb
I’ve read quite a bit about the JBR case. Reddit has some good content on the case amongst lots of bullshit. Nothing fits 100%, but the most likely scenario is that Burke, the son hit her in the head and then he did at least one or both of the strangulation/sexual assault before the parents did the staging. If there was just a head injury the parents should have called an ambulance. Head injuries happen all the time. It doesn’t make sense to strangle and sexually assault your child to cover up a bloodless head injury. Also, JBR was sexually assaulted prior to that night.
The sexual assault with the paint brush was cleaned up and JBR was redressed. Also, in subsequent interviews the parents downplayed that the sexual assault occurred. Why would you stage sexual assault and then clean it up and deny it happened?
The tool used to strangle her is similar to a boy scout tool called a toggle rope. Burke was constantly whittling wood to the point that his pocket knife was taken from him by the housekeeper. It was found down the hall from the body.
There was an article in a tabloid, believed to be sourced from the housekeeper that said Burke got super angry when he she caught him “playing doctor” with JB.
The marks on her match the toy train set.
His footprint of a boot his mother denied buying for him were found next to the body.
The note was 100% written by Patsy. The handwriting is a match and there are tons of similarities to her writing style.
The family refused to be interviewed for 6 months and the father was calling his pilot to schedule a flight out of town the day of the murder.
Agreed my hardest part with the mother being involved was why wouldn’t she just call ambulance even if Burke intentionally hit jbr, like you know she’s not dead just call ambulance it was an accident and also hard for me to believe the mom could go through strangling her.
Didn’t know she was sexually assaulted previously
Makes sense on the boy scout tool. didnt know anything about him and whittling or pocket knife.
The doc mentioned the boot footprint but said none of the family had those, there was something pointing to him having them?
Yea for sure she wrote it and yea they did mention the father trying to schedule a flight the day of, claimed it was for business. “Yes i too like to continue with business on the day my daugher is found murdered”
I’m not an expert but it seems like the guy who lived nearby in the house where the cadaver dogs alerted seems the most likely. Second would be she was either picked up from the scene, or wandered away and was picked up, and then killed. Third would be she managed to wander far enough to die on her own and never be found I guess.
Scary to think somebody happened across her and thought “this is my shot!” Makes me wonder how many people are out there waiting for their opportunity. Makes me think of Israel Keyes, but he was proven to not be near the northeast when she disappeared.
I’m on the other side, it seems like she may have been planning to meet someone and had pretty much packed up her life. Im guessing intentional disappearance. I know eyewitness accounts suck in general, but the bus driver indicated that she didn’t seem intoxicated. Although her “pleading” with him not to call the cops could be either because she was drunk or because she was trying to hide.
But I do think its likely she got picked up at some point, or if intoxicated ended up lost in the woods somewhere. The wiki doesn’t mention whether any footprints leading away from the crash were found.
Anne Taylor, Kohberger’s public defender, wrote in a court filing late Wednesday that Kohberger was an avid runner and hiker who frequently went out for drives late at night.
Under Idaho law, defendants may be required to notify prosecutors in advance of any alibi defense. In a filing last August, Taylor wrote that Kohberger’s alibi was that he was out driving alone that night, as he often did. Wednesday’s document offered more details, including at least one of his destinations — Wawawai Park, along the Snake River southwest of Pullman — in the opposite direction from Moscow.
“Mr. Kohberger was out driving in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022; as he often did to hike and run and/or see the moon and stars,” Taylor wrote. “He drove throughout the area south of Pullman, Washington, west of Moscow, Idaho including Wawawai Park.”
lmao his alibi is that it’s actually a hobby of his to drive around for hours by himself in the middle of nowhere late at night.
how unlucky this guy must be that a quadruple murder happened at the exact same time he was out and didn’t have cell service to prove his location.
According to wikipedia: cadaver dogs allegedly went “bonkers”, possibly identifying the presence of human remains. The house had formerly been the residence of the man implicated by his brother, who had given Fred the rusty knife in 2004.
