Good. The family may want him dead, but given the glacial melting pace of ever getting to the electric chair and given Idaho has executed may 3 or 4 guys in the last 50 years, he's basically in jail for decades either way.

Did he say why? And I hope he didn't pull that shit Craig Titus did where he admitted to it but kept claiming he didn't really do it. This guy is a piece of shit, he brought about the fucking nightmare scenario of most of the world. Murdering someone in their bed, in their home, while they were sleeping. Fuck him! I really wanted him to face the firing squad like Gary Gilmore, who was way more of a man than him. He better be gag ordered to not write about this, since he fancies himself some criminalist academic, despite being caught pretty quickly.

R33, she was expected to be called as a witness. I assumed he was parked away from the house, observing. The driver said he was parked right next to her. He had a plan, and nothing was going to stop him from entering that house and executing (no pun intended) that plan.

R46 Yeah, that's always the case, that's why no one gives a shit if the family of the killed forgives him. I mean, that's cool and all, good for you being all zen about shit, but we don't trust this fucker and we're locking him up. See; Bart Whittaker. His christian dad forgave him for ambushing the family after a dinner to celebrate his (non existent) college graduation. His brother and mom were killed, his dad survived. He was initially on death row, Texas and all, and then taken off, inexplicably. His dad remarried and did the book tour, "I forgive him and I know my wife and son would." Good for you, you're the one who fucked him up to begin with. But anyone who would rage kill their fucking mom and bro, can't be trusted. That's why the state is the plaintiff, and not dummies like the family.

R53 it's wasn't really inexplicable. The father appealed directly to Greg Abbot, the governor, and, because these are white people, he was taken off death row.

It was an economic decision, trials like that are very expensive to put on for the state, even when it’s a slam dunk. I can’t imagine how devastating this has been for the families of the victims, but I can’t help but wonder if part of their bitterness stems from the extension of their 15 minutes of fame coming to an abrupt end. Particularly the Goncalves family.

I think he'll have elocute in court to the judge but we'll never know the details. They need to make sure he actually did it and, if details don't add up, the judge may deny the plea deal.

I know L&O is a fictionalized TV show. I was thinking of one particular episode where there were multiple people killed. McCoy asked the spouse of one victims and he asked what the others decided and the man said he would agree with their decision.

When the store mgr. went to the press, LE released a BOLO intentionally misleading the public by saying they were looking for more than one person seen in the Hyundai the night of the murders.

It was ultimately Kohberger's decision to plead guilty. He probably agreed to the plea ... because he was guilty. And didn't want to die. Or have to hear it laid out how his perfect murder plan went awry.

The prosecution probably offered the plea in part because of recent trials like the Karen Read trial. You can present all the evidence which all points to the culprit, but in a high profile case based on circumstantial evidence if there is enough of an intersection of a) true crime fraus all stoked up on on conspiracy theories and b) low information people easily manipulated by disinformation campaigns, the jury pool can be impacted and a jury may ignore or disbelieve the evidence and acquit. A Kohberger acquittal is too frightening to contemplate.

I can see the families being upset if they think won't get all the information about the crime without the trial. Hopefully the prosecutors make all evidence and information learned available to them. Maybe Kohberger has agreed to provide more information.

Bundy had to pretend to be injured and talk people into going with him, he also used his hands. This clown breaks in while people are asleep and uses a knife. I bet if you asked Bundy why he didn't use a weapon, though, he'd say it's because it'd be much too easy to leave it behind, but you know all about that, right, you pale fuck!

The sheath DNA was based on touch DNA which would have been laughed out of court. That’s why they offered a plea.

Not a desperate dodge but a calculated move to spare families a circus, despite the prosecution’s stacked deck of surveillance, cell data, and that pesky DNA. And “in over their heads”? The FBI, Idaho cops, and Othram labs had Kohberger cuffed in six weeks.

One could argue he is a psychopath who always thought he was the smartest one in the room and wanted to commit the perfect crime. He planned this for quite a long time, ordering the knife eight months before the actual murders.

But then you have the out-of-control side, stabbing Xana 50 times when he was heard to say, "It's okay, I'm here to help." Even if she fought back, there was no need for such excessive brutality. Then you have Kaylee who was stabbed 30 times and beaten so badly her face was unrecognizable. They also say she was suffocated. He may have become enraged when he saw her in bed with Maddie, his supposed intended target, but again that was just brutal excess on his part. Was Kaylee the actual target because of her extreme treatment at his hands or was he just pissed she was there?

Poor little a Booth, a delicate blonde, did not fare well when shipped off to Africa to shoot TRADER HORN in 1929. There she suffered from sunstroke, malaria, and Katayama fever… plus her brief costume got her bitten by ticks.

The crew begged producer Irving Thalberg to send over doctors and medicines but he didn’t want the picture to go over budget. It took Booth six years to recover when she returned to L.A. and there was eventually an out of court settlement by MGM. This got her blacklisted by the major studios, however, and her career basically died.

Booth was in pain for the rest of her life, sometimes only achieving some relief by shutting herself in dark rooms.

R222, he had complaints filed against him by female students. He did have a grudge to bear when it came to young women.

As for the layout of the house online, maybe the sad truth is he was looking for a house full of attractive girls, and he figured out their house would be the easiest to break into. But again, he went straight up to the third floor because he knew where Maddie's bedroom was located. So, he did target at least one of the girls. He would not have had that info from the house layout. He spied on them for months before he finally made his move. I wonder how many other properties he viewed online before he decided to stalk this one property. LE said he was very good at scrubbing his history, so I wonder if they were able to retrieve any pertinent evidence of his property searches.
