Who do you want to see and hear testify at the Idaho 4 trial?

Yes, sooner or later there will be a trial in the Idaho 4 murder case.

That is short of the defendant Bryan Kohberger confessing and accepting a possible plea deal.

Honestly, given the circumstantial evidence against BK, I highly doubt he would confess to anything. It is up to Idaho to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Pennsylvania native carried out the killings of four students (Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin) back on Nov. 13.

Trust me, I am no BK fan boy. If the guy is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, by all means I hope he gets the death penalty.

Having said that, I have serious doubt as of now the prosecution would get a 12-0 jury vote to convict him.

There are too many loose holes right now in my mind to call this a slam dunk case.

So, once we do get to trial, who are you most interested in seeing and hearing from?

Among the possibilities could be:

Bryan Kohberger – Wouldn’t it be something if the defendant himself got up there and answered questions? Of course doing so would open himself up to cross-examination from the prosecution. My gut tells me lead defense attorney Anne Taylor will not allow her client to get on the stand. Then again, hearing from the man who allegedly killed four people would make for a fascinating trial.

MPD – Hearing from one or more of the Moscow Police Department members on the scene at 1122 King Road that fateful day would be compelling too. My guess is we will absolutely hear from one or more of them. Among the things I’d want to know would be did they possibly contaminate the scene? Did authorities have all the proper gear on when they went in and out of the home? It is known by most accounts that the two surviving roommates and Ethan’s friend Hunter were in the home at some point before police arrived in the afternoon. How many other University of Idaho students were in that home before authorities got there?

Coroner/medical examiner – We are most definitely going to hear from the coroner/medical examiner. Their testimony is critical to determining how and approximately when the four victims died. Speaking of that, where is the toxicology report? We are now past 10 months since these tragic deaths and no toxicology report to my knowledge has been made public. And before someone says it is no business of the public, I say BS. Taxpayers have a right to see and hear their local governments in action. Not doing so leads to conspiracy theories among other things. The public has a right to know if any drugs were found in the systems of the four victims. If there were, such a thing could change how this case is looked at. I bought the lone stalker theory early on but now feel totally different as to what went down in those early morning hours at 1122 King Road. That does not make the four victims bad people IF drugs were involved and they sure as hell did not deserve to die.

Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke – Last; many people will be interested to see if the two survivors take the stand. If I am Taylor, I absolutely call them to testify. While I do not believe either were involved in the crimes, I 100 percent think Mortensen’s comments in the PCA are sketchy. One can’t have it both ways. Either the Boise native and U of I student was drunk and/or high and her statement to police is flawed at best or she was totally sober and not calling 911 once safe to do so was a major gaffe on her part. And before anyone screams they’re just kids, it has been documented “kids” under 10 have called 911 before in distress. Mortensen said she saw a figure with a mask on come towards her bedroom as she stood nearby. It was NOT a frat prank nor was the mask on due to COVID. Sorry, but most people are dialing 911 when safe to do so if they spot an intruder in their home at 4 ish in the morning. Doing so may have led to the arrest of a perp or perps much sooner. It also MIGHT have given at least one of the victims a fighting chance to get help and to the local hospital. I will be quite interested to hear from the medical experts at trial if any of the victims likely bled out. If so, getting them help as soon as possible could well have meant the difference between possibly living and more than likely dying.

As we eventually do get to what is sure to be one of the biggest trials in recent memory, who do you want to see and hear from on the stand?
