Summary
In this episode, Tony Brueski exposes the gaping legal loophole that could let a murderer make money off murder. While most states have laws that stop convicted felons from profiting off books, interviews, or documentaries about their crimes, Idaho never passed one. That means that even behind bars, Kohberger could legally sell his “story,” write a memoir, or partner with a producer on a so-called “tell-all” — and keep the profits.
This isn’t theory. It’s a constitutional gap that’s been exploited before, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling that struck down New York’s original Son of Sam law on First Amendment grounds. Since then, states have tried to rewrite the rules — but Idaho simply never wrote them. The result? Victims’ families would have to fight in civil court just to stop a killer from cashing checks tied to their loved one’s deaths.
Tony breaks down how this could actually play out, how media companies skirt the rules by routing money through shell deals and “consulting” fees, and what lawmakers must do now to close the door before Kohberger or anyone like him turns infamy into profit.
Justice isn’t just about a sentence — it’s about who owns the story afterward. And right now, in Idaho, that story could pay.
