Summary
Could Bryan Kohberger’s defense team take the most controversial step yet—hinting at the surviving roommates as alternate suspects?
In this powerful episode, retired FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins us to discuss the ethical and psychological fallout of a defense strategy that, if executed, could traumatize the very individuals who escaped the crime scene alive. We examine whether Kohberger’s legal team is laying the groundwork for third-party suspicion and what it means when surviving victims are reframed as potential suspects in a courtroom narrative.
Robin Dreeke walks us through how behavioral evidence is weighed, how prosecutors prepare for this kind of narrative manipulation, and the devastating emotional toll such a move could take—not only on the surviving roommates, but on public confidence in the justice system.
If you think you’ve seen defense tactics go low, this conversation asks the question: how far is too far in the pursuit of reasonable doubt?
