Great post.

‘Up the ante’ reminded me that BTK / Dennis Rader told TMZ that he himself sees similarities between the killer‘s method and his own dark mind. Crazy as he is, it takes one to know one.

Scared the bejesus out of me reading that he said that.

BTK Says Bryan Kohberger Shares His Serial Killer Attributes

The BTK serial killer says Bryan Kohberger shares some of his traits, and that one of his own attacks -- a quadruple homicide -- is eerily similar to the Idaho student slayings.

I’m convinced BCK idolized BTK and Bundy. Lots of similarities between both. Kind of odd they share such similar initials as well..MOO

Watching Banfield now.
Xana‘s mom doesn’t want DP for BK.

AB is defending the interview, she has read the extensive comments saying it was wrong. She maintains that Cara has a voice, a dog in the fight. She has a right to speak.

Curious on thoughts. If this can't be resolved, does it end up being tried as a non-DP case?

I am not a lawyer and I don't live in Idaho, but I honestly don't think the decision to go for the DP will hinge on attorney conflicts.

That's a decision made on the basis of evidence and politics. (I don't necessarily mean the latter in a corrupt way. I'm just saying that some crimes are seen to "demand" capital punishment by those who make the decision.)

I just have a hard time believing AT would do this without running it by the Idaho Public Defense Commission. JMO

I hope Murphy plays a big part in a successful conviction....


Dog guy here

Thank you for saying something hopeful. If there is evidence, I hope they have it.

I would be curious to know if the killer went into the house with the intention to murder one person and just snapped or did it out of self preservation, or if their intention was to murder as many as they could?

If this is a DP case do all 4 families have to agree that BK get the death penalty for it to happen?

She is a vulnerable woman with a right to be protected which supersedes AN's right to create 'entertainment' IMHO

Do death penalty cases automatically get an appeal?

In some states (including mine), yes, DP cases are always automatically appealed. I'm just not sure if all states do or not.

This has probably been brought up on here, if so I apologize. If Anne Taylor continues to be his attorney, couldn't there be a possible case for a mistrial or an appeal?

we're not sure. It depends upon whether a COI is present now or becomes an issue later. It's a complex legal argument and some great legal minds have been discussing it here over the past few hours.

Banfield wasn’t a Part 2 tonight like she said (bait). It was very short and she repeated what was aired last night. CN was on approximately for 15-20 minutes last night.

Thanks @Luna20 Looks like the videos are up on Youtube now.

I decided to bypass for reasons of personal ire but I have no objection to receiving pre-digested synopsis. Thanks.

 

[North_Idaho_Nony]

My concern, and maybe I'm way off-base with this thought--is that BK could use this to appeal a conviction, by claiming Taylor couldn't adequately represent him because she had a conflict. MOO

Similarly, I worry that BCK might have grounds for appeal should he have arguably the most qualified capital qualified public defender in the state removed from his defense team. MOO

I like how you said that. It made me smile. I needed a smile tonight so thank you for bringing it.

I suspect she cancelled the actual part 2 aspect of it due to the blowback the first interview got. MOO

IMO Kohlberber may have known through his criminal justice studies that X mother had drug issues. I also think he loving that this is happenin. For all we know he has ways to gather info on victims.
He thinks he’s above law. he may just be smart enough to try and get away with this and that is scary imo

Idaho is small! Additionally, the defense attorney practices in the city where the parents were charged. It doesn't surprise me much. Also it's a "low crime" state. Yes, it has it's share of crime, but it doesn't have many murders etc. Hence, that's where we are.

Yeah, but Kootenai County has grown considerable in the past 25 to 30 years. They should still have more than 1 DP public defender on hand.
