Summary
Stargazing. That was Bryan Kohberger’s alibi. Not a streaming timestamp. Not a witness. Just... stargazing. In this final installment of our 4-part conversation with defense attorney Bob Motta, we go deep into the absurdity of the defense strategy, the overwhelming weight of the forensic evidence, and how Ann Taylor ultimately did what she was hired to do: save a life, not sell a fantasy.
Bob dissects what would’ve happened had the case gone to trial with only the sheath as evidence. Could it have introduced reasonable doubt? Maybe. But with GPS data, phone pings, Amazon purchases, and Kohberger’s own inconsistencies — that doubt collapsed. This wasn’t a case with one smoking gun. It was a case with an entire arsenal.
We also explore how one reckless early statement from Ann Taylor — calling her client “factually innocent” — fueled months of conspiracy theories and gave pro-Kohberger supporters just enough to cling to. Bob explains why that move may have done more harm than good.
And finally, we reflect on where this leaves the families — especially Alivea Goncalves, who Bob predicts may one day become a major force in victim advocacy. Because sometimes tragedy births purpose.
This episode is the closure. The full circle. The final nail in the defense fantasy.
