0:00.0 | Is there anything else happening in today's proceedings that you think are a big impact when it comes to the trial later on in the summer? |
0:06.4 | I think a ton of what's happened today is going to have a lot of impact, but I think the court's really weighing everything carefully. |
0:11.5 | It's going to give us some really big decisions here in the next few weeks. |
0:15.7 | Okay, and of course, Ryan will be with us throughout this process as he has been from the beginning. |
0:20.2 | We're also, of course, following Lori. |
0:22.6 | So some of those major heavy duty decisions, the autism spectrum, really that would come |
0:32.5 | into consideration during the death penalty phase if, in fact, Brian Kohlberger gets convicted and they go for the death penalty. |
0:41.8 | The defense would argue that he shouldn't get the death penalty because of the autism spectrum disorder. |
0:49.2 | Apparently, the judge has ruled on that and doesn't believe that that should come into play. The other thing was |

1:50.1 | And apparently the law says no. |
1:53.3 | But many of these investigative genealogical sites have their own guidelines about how things or whether even law enforcement can utilize |
2:04.0 | their site. And these are some of the arguments that the defense is making. I think there is not |
2:10.4 | a chance in the world that Judge Stephen Hippler will throw out the DNA. I think there is |
2:16.2 | zero chance. So I think that the |
2:19.0 | defense has to recognize that that is in fact going to go forward, absolutely 100%. As far as the |
2:28.7 | language they talk about, the language that they can use, calling him a murder or a psychopath, |
