Five Legal Time Bombs in the Kohberger Case That Could Explode at Trial
Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us for a deep dive into the legal chess match unfolding in the Bryan Kohberger case. As Kohberger faces capital murder charges for the killings of four University of Idaho students, his defense team has filed a motion to delay the trial, citing constitutional violations and incomplete forensic and psychological investigations. But as Faddis explains, there’s much more going on beneath the surface.
This isn’t just about trial prep—it’s about preserving appellate leverage. The motion to continue includes references to landmark Supreme Court cases like Wiggins v. Smith and Powell v. Alabama, invoking the concept of “heightened reliability” required in death penalty proceedings. Kohberger’s attorneys argue they need more time to complete a full “life history” mitigation investigation—one that includes trauma, mental health evaluations, and multi-generational background records. According to Faddis, these steps are standard in capital cases, but failing to do them thoroughly could open the door to a future reversal on appeal.
We also unpack how the defense is weaponizing media coverage, including the recent Dateline NBC special and James Patterson’s upcoming book, to argue that Kohberger cannot receive a fair trial under current conditions. Faddis provides expert commentary on whether this pretrial publicity genuinely threatens the jury pool—or if it’s a calculated move to frame a potential mistrial argument before trial even begins.
Is this defense strategy brilliant or overplayed? What forensic evidence still hasn’t been fully vetted? And how is this shaping up to be one of the most complicated capital trials in recent memory? Faddis brings clarity to a case that’s anything but clear.
