Summary
In this gripping segment, defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down the moment that stopped the courtroom cold: Alivea Goncalves's searing victim impact statement directed at Bryan Kohberger. Coming after deeply emotional remarks from other families, Alivea's words stood out as defiant, personal, and soul-shaking — taking back power from a man who tried to strip it away. Motta dissects not only the legal parameters surrounding victim impact statements, but also what makes Alivea's address unique: it wasn't just cathartic, it was tactical. She spoke directly to Kohberger, something not always permitted under Idaho law. And as Bob notes, Judge John Judge let it ride — and the impact was undeniable. We also explore Kohberger's demeanor throughout sentencing — how he sat emotionless, eerily calm, even at times smirking during moments of unimaginable grief. What does that reveal about who he is? And what does it say about how people like him process human pain? Bob pulls from decades of experience, including insights from his own father's representation of John Wayne Gacy, to explain why men like Kohberger — like Gacy — simply don't break. They don't feel. And they never explain why. If you're looking for analysis that cuts through the courtroom optics and straight into the psychological rot underneath, this conversation delivers.
