Summary

Bryan Kohberger: How We Got Here - Episode 8: "Change of Venue and New Strategies - 2024"

Description: The most significant change to the Idaho murders case came in September 2024 when Judge John Judge granted a motion to move the trial 300 miles from tiny Latah County to Idaho's capital city of Boise. This episode explores how extensive pretrial publicity and the small population of Moscow made finding impartial jurors nearly impossible, with surveys showing 98% of residents were aware of the case and 67% had already formed opinions about guilt. We examine the defense's development of alternate perpetrator theories, including their argument that multiple attackers committed the murders rather than a single individual. The episode details the logistical challenges of relocating a death penalty trial, including the victims' families raising over $65,000 to attend proceedings in Boise. We explore new evidence about Kohberger's Amazon purchases eight months before the murders, including a Ka-Bar knife and sheath identical to items found at the crime scene, providing clear evidence of premeditation. The episode also examines how both prosecution and defense teams adapted their strategies for a new venue and jury pool while preparing for one of the most closely watched trials in American history.
