What should be Kohberger’s biggest concern?

As we await the trial of Idaho 4 murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, what should be his biggest concern?

From getting a fair trial to the evidence against him, there is no doubt a lot on the plate for lead defense attorney Anne Taylor and her team.

With that in mind, what do you think should be Kohberger’s biggest concern once we finally get to trial?

Among the concerns I see:

  • Getting a fair trial in first place – Assuming the trial is held in Moscow and not moved to Boise or elsewhere, can BK get a fair trial at the end of the day? While one would like to think so, one may also have some doubts. I support cameras in the courtroom, feeling they will not have a negative impact on things. I do have some concerns that there is a cover-up of some sorts going on and BK may end up being the fall guy at the end of the day.
  • Trace DNA evidence on sheath – There is much talk even all these months later about the trace DNA evidence reportedly discovered on the knife sheath in the bed of victim Maddie Mogen. Is it legit or was it in fact planted? I have no doubt that the defense team will bring in their own DNA experts to refute anything the prosecution puts out there related to DNA. Let’s not forget this was a party house and countless males were there less than a month before the murders took place and one or more there when at least two of the bodies were found. It is safe to say that home was a walking biological lab with all the people in and out of there before and after the killings.
  • Vehicle reported in the area – Much has been made of BK’s white Elantra supposedly being near 1122 King Road on the day of the murders. Unless there is a clear photo of BK behind the wheel and/or of his license plate taken, it is all speculation to me. Then again, much of this case has to do with speculation.
  • Cell phone pings – It has also been reported numerous times that BK’s phone pinged in the area of 1122 King Road home on countless occasions. Allegations that he turned the phone off around 2:47 a.m. and it did not come back on until after the four students were murdered of course looks bad. Even with that in mind, cell phone pings even in the driveway of the home or the street do not equal proof one took part in murder.
  • He allegedly followed one or more victims on social media – How many times have we heard that the suspect followed one or more of the three deceased females on social media? While that has never been verified, what if he did in fact follow one or more of the victims? How many people do you follow on social media? Chances are the number may be rather high and chances are a fair number of them are of the opposite sex. In no way does that equal you murdering any of them. Also keep in mind BK and the 3 victims were within 10 years of age of one another. He may well have met one or more of them out and about, at a house party at 1122 King Road etc. The social media link is way overblown in my mind.

As we eventually do get to trial, circumstantial evidence could pile up and make it difficult for BK to escape a guilty conviction.

On the flip side of the coin, the state needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt they have the right killer.

IMO, they have not done so to date and will need some very convincing evidence to do so for this man to be convicted and possibly get the death penalty.

If you were defending BK, what would worry you most?
