How bought with demons! Probably a legion or 50. First time in my life i laughed at Autism. Not that he don't have it. But sunshine, sometimes when there's no human explanation because we say why, why, why.. you got to see what God says about the matter. Demon i say. He is infested
You can indeed kill the man but you can not kill a demon. Don't ask why. Ask God
Kimberly is a dead ringer for Lorri Daybel…!
Reptile people or deluded (delulu) "adult humans"!!!!!?!!!!
Stop sticking up for the liars they were chatting to each other all night those girls know more than they are letting on.
Josh and Terri ♥♥♥♥♥
I still think it was two people who killed those people there's no way one person did all that one of those girls are not telling the truth
BK: They are using every excuse imaginable. I hope the jury sees right through their plans. I just don't think this will be over for many years due to appeals, death penalty, etc. I hope the victims family, friends, community, etc., can find some sort of peace. I'm know this trial is going to hurt so many of them also. Josh, thank you again. I love when you do Sidebar.
I wish everyone would stop protecting these girls for 8 hrs??? They locked their bedroom doors and Xanas father changed the locks a few days before the murders. They deserve justice and people writing books etc. by the way your guest pleae get facts right Ethan had a twin brother and sister they were triplets!!!!
Well hes not autistic but you can put him in open population for life instead of death penalty, same thing really . Prayers for the 4 innocent victims. Still think 2 roommates are hiding something
Another insightful episode Joshua and a great guest.
Your door is not locked unless you have a double cylinder dead bolt and you are home with a key turned half way from the inside.
21:58 trauma does weird things to the brain…thats why one cant escape
If Koberger has any kind of autism, my guess we would be Asperger's. That doesn't make you unintelligent, just socially awkward.
Autism? nope that psychopath is lying and scared.
IT'S AMAZING HOW THIS MURDERER HAD NO PROBLEM KILLING THESE INNOCENT YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENTS IN IDAHO.
BUT HE FEELS THAT HIS LIFE SHOULD BE SPARED ?
THIS WAS SO ABSOUTLY HORRIFIC. THIS CREEP NOT ONLY KILLED THESE INNOCENT YOUNG PEOPLE, HE SENTENCED THE MOTHERS AND FATHERS TO SUFFER THE MOST UNDISCRIBABLE PAIN. THIS IS A PAIN THAT LITERALLY FLOODS THE VERY DEBTH OF YOUR SOUL AND STAYS PLANTED UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR VERY LAST BREATH OF LIFE !
8:11 The fact that the suspect in the Idaho slayings is fighting the death penalty is disturbing. What kind of person could commit such an unspeakable act and then try to avoid the consequences? I hope the victims' families find peace and that justice is done for them.
1. It was established immediately following the Moscow Murders that their house was a party house. They didn't tend to lock their doors and they had people going in and out of the house all the time. So even though the roommate saw someone walk past with a mask on, she was so used to people walking in, out, and around the house at all hours anyway. Would it have been a bit strange considering the mask? Yes but college students do weird, harmless stuff all the time
2. I'm autistic myself, and I worked as an Access Advisor for students with disabilities at WSU (Kohberger's grad school at the time of the event only 8 miles away). AUTISM DOESN'T MAKE YOU KILL PEOPLE! And, you're correct, it's a developmental disability, not an intellectual one, and, in fact, many people on the spectrum are highly intelligent like himself. In addition, autistics tend to be highly just- and fair-oriented, so we're actually statistically less likely to commit crimes, especially intentional crimes
Regardless of your individual stance on the death penalty, using autism in a highly intelligent person to get out of the death penalty is an abuse to disabled/autistic folks everywhere and it disgusts me
It’s baffles me how many people cannot stop and think what it must have been like for those poor girls. I can put myself back at 20 years old in a similar type situation, and the last thing you would think is that everyone in your house was being murdered!
It was a chaotic house as it was.
I can’t stand the thing people say about how perfectly they would have reacted at that age! Yes, adults but not quite adult yet.
That stepmother is absolutely evil!!! We don’t know what abuse took place prior to him being 11, that was just the first time anyone reported anything!! I feel Stockholm syndrome is a huge part of this case!! My prayers to him for strength & healing both physically & mentally!! She needs to be locked away for the rest of her pitiful life & only given 2 bottles of water with 2 pbj sandwiches per day!!!
You have to be very dumb to not pay attention to what was going on. Nobody is that willfully ignorant.
Kohberger – he's desperate.
