Summary
What do you do when your defense strategy gets shut down before the trial even begins? That’s exactly the predicament Bryan Kohberger’s legal team finds itself in—every major motion denied, the death penalty still on the table, and a stack of damning evidence that’s looking more solid than their case.
Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins to break down what options, if any, the defense has left. Can they poke enough holes in the state’s case to create doubt, or is this just about setting up an appeal down the road? From the DNA found on the knife sheath to the potential battle over investigative genetic genealogy (IGG), we dive deep into the legal gymnastics at play.
And what about those Amazon search histories? If the prosecution gets their hands on receipts for a K-bar knife and sheath, does that seal the deal? Or is there still a way for the defense to spin it?
