Today’s sentencing hearing in a Boise courtroom for quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger left me with more questions than answers. Yes, I already had many questions going into the hearing. 
Sitting in a orange prison suit and viewing the proceedings quite stoically, Kohberger watched and listened as multiple family and friends of the deceased spoke out on the physical and mental impact the killings had on them.
The Nov. 13, 2022 deaths of Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin captured not only much of the nation’s attention, but also parts of the world. No matter how any of us feel about the case, the victims can never be brought back to life.
Kohberger chose not to speak today when given the chance by the judge. Honestly, did we really think he would open up to the family and friends of the victims now?
I have made it known that while I think Kohberger was involved, I do not think he acted alone.
After hearing today’s Latah County press conference following the sentencing, I must admit I further question if we are getting all the facts.
I will just say for now that I think it would have been a 50-50 chance at best if the state would have gotten a guilty conviction at trial.
Today’s presser noting no known motive, no direct connection to Mogen or anyone else in the home for that matter, no murder weapon, no clear video or photos of Kohberger entering or leaving the home etc. leads me to believe the state got a gift. That is Kohberger willingly pleading guilty. The state must have felt as if it had been served a gift on a silver platter.
There is much more to say in upcoming blog posts.
Most notably what we saw and heard from family and friends today with their victim impact statements. I will save that for my next post.
Until then, more questions than answers on if the real killer is in fact behind bars or others walk freely among us….
