A malignant narcissist is always confident since they believe they are much more intelligent than anyone else. Can’t wait for the trial.

I believe the prosecutors have a few surprises. All of the evidence has not been revealed.

So the story is that he’s “confident”? Ashley, you’ve been around long enough to know this is defense attorney spin.

I've watched a lot of true crime and I always feel sad for the victims. But this case has hit me in a different way. It hurts, like a deep aching pain in my heart that I've not experienced before. I hope those beautiful souls get the justice they all deserve

His comment was made to muddy the water. Manipulators do that every day.

I think Ethan and Xana were collatoral damage. Ethan woke up it's extremely sad 💔💔

Circumstantial evidence is still evidence. And a lot of it is very meaningful.

I am expecting a plot twist , this may all have been a setup....

A "surprise" indictment? No one will be surprised ...

I think this type of reporting tells us you have nothing but hearsay. Find something real to report on.

Lord help me. Regurgitating the same thing over and over. All I want to hear is if there is the victims dna in his car and premises.

This woman is talking about how this murder is “rookie” to her. This is a Hollywood movie to these anchors.

John Wayne Gacy said the same thing when he was arrested so I wouldn't put too much stock in that statement.

Hopefully his false confidence will make it all the more disappointing for him when the judge/jury says he's going to the table for a lethal cocktail. Then he can suffer with it for 10-20 before it's done.

Hopefully they find more evidence from his car and apartment

I'm tired of seeing the news focused on him. Justice is not about crime or the criminals ... Justice is about the victim & the victims families, loved ones & friends

I’d love to know what this guy’s response will be when he’s asked why he was stalking this residence at 9am before anyone even knew a crime had been committed, I mean how dumb can you be.

Why are your so called sources always wrong hey hey hey

If he stabbed four people how did he drive his car back home without getting blood on it ? Did he shower at the victims' house?

A wild guess is that he, as a phd student, did this as a research project to see how criminals get away with murder....

I think he was worried about his family being arrested.

Every time I see a clip of Kohberger it strikes me that it doesn’t really bother him that he’s in shackles. I don’t think prison will bother him at all. 🤔

It's criminology....it's not rocket science.

I’d be really interested to see what his phone location data shows AFTERWARDS. how many times did he go back? Where was he watching from, because he surely must have been! It will tell a story just like Murdaugh’s has shown us now. If he never went nearby I’d be surprised, but if he didn’t? Wow.

I'm thinking BK wasn't planning on going back to WA. I doubt he had much of anything of great value except his computer left behind that LE confiscated. He knew he was going to be fired from his TA job. That job paid for his PhD program and his apt. He had nothing to go back to in WA. plus if he is involved in the murders, perhaps he thought he was safe from arrest by distancing himself from WA and Idaho..

Since he was "shocked" when woken from sleep and arrested at his parents, it's doubtful he had time in that moment to "plant the seed" that he had an accomplice.

After watching the Murdaugh trial, the gps car data was stunnning and very damning, if the Elantra has this type of system, Kohberger is toast (not to mention phone data even is the phone is off)!... I've thought all along his statement saying 'am I the only one' was an intentional ploy to deflect from himself.

Kohberger saying he's going to be " exonerated" is for an audience of 2- his parents.

Bryan is completely guilty!

I can think of a number of incentives a prosecutor would have at entering a plea deal in a murder case. First two that come to mind are 1) the case isn't that solid and or 2) you're dealing with a serial killer who has killed other people and he/she is willing to trade information that would resolve those cases in exchange for a lighter sentence/reduced charges. Peculiar this legal expert can't think of any.

When he asked if anyone else had been arrested, I thought he was referring to his parents.

They need blood evidence in his possession. The sheath will be challenged due to the crime scene being corrrupted due to the visitors before the police got there.

My question is, if Dylan saw him leaving, she must have seen him holding the knife. Why has nobody talked about that. If it didn’t have a sheath on it, it’s not like he stuck it in his pocket.

I would like to know how they’re going to get a jury together that has not even heard about the case.

Only a narcissist would believe in an exonoration! God knows exactly who he is and so do those with common sense!

I think he’ll plead guilty and get life so he can get the adoration and love from prison groupies, more attention than he’d ever get on the outside. He could even get married, something again he had no shot at if he was free.

Banfield is the absolute worst!

This guy just loves being in the spotlight. His little circus show hes created knowing all in well they’ve caught him but he will continue to play his part. He likes the attention too much, (especially considering he went his whole life without being acknowledged or noticed by anyone and clearly chose to murder because he couldn’t handle rejection) as most people thought he was an oddball and most women were creeped out by his presence. He’s flattered and feels important right now and that’s all that matters to him....

Please do a story explaining why it would go to Grand Jury for indictment if he's already been charged? I thought it went to Grand Jury first, just confused.

Our tax money has to pay his one attorney alone 200 per hour. Plus we are paying for the prosecution.

The only good job the Idaho killer did was getting caught.

Shouldn't his cell phones location history be able to be retraced by using its GPS technology? It's my understanding that this can be done whether the phone is on or off and to within an accuracy of 10 meters. I'm honestly asking...not a rhetorical question.

Beautiful blouse !!!!

I feel like if there was someone else who helped him that he would have already told who it was.

Kohberger perhaps was worried that his father may have been arrested after him because he drove with him back from Washington. Just a thought

lol he so innocent he pushed the prelim off 6 months

By the theory of Law definition, a certain number of inditions (clues),connected into a logical whole constitutes evidence in the court.

Whatever happened to the body cam footage in the field across from the house where you could see kids running across the street in front of the murder house

Actually the police said they wanted to speak to the “occupants” of the Elantra NOT occupant! So the police have got to have seen something else either in the video of the car or they found something at the house. There’s a reason the police said occupants.

Isn't the main piece of evidence the location of his cell phone near the victims house? How close to his actual location can his cell phone place him ?

DIDNT KOBURGER SAY A PHRASE TO THE EFFECT OF "I BET THE PERSON WHO DID IT THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME" SAME STATEMENT ALEC MURDAUGH MADE TOO. I ALREADY KNOW BOTH ARE GUILTY AS CHARGED.

He wanted to be famous & ur giving him that! 💜🙏💜

Sara was a terrific guest and the whole discussion was good and interesting and informative 👍💯

Maybe it's unique to California, but the plea isn't entered at the preliminary hearing, it's entered at the arraignment which happens prior to the prelim. Is it different in other states?

Thanks ladies, good points

The “other” bk…killed before trial

"I need someone to help me..." understand why no one is addressing the fact that the surviving roommate and her friends sat around for 8 hours with a gruesome bloody scene of their friends dead. Why did reports say she was "frozen with fear" and then say that "she went back to sleep". I believe there is evidence here that is being swept under the rug.

Why are every news channels captions always so delayed

Someone finally said it. There’s no evidence this guy is a master criminal who was miraculously caught. Let’s not give the guy so much credit

The key thing the prosecution should do is break down all the fuck ups that monster made. The killer thinks he was untouchable, and committed a perfect crime.

I feel like him saying did u arrest anyone else is close to admission of guilt.

Some of the Elantra footage car appears to be silver, not at all white and has a slightly different body style to Kohberger's. The fact Kohberger's cell pinged 12 times within a 7-month period, to me, seems insignificant. Pings on cell phones commonly occur within a 25-mile radius. Plus, with applications and software, cell phones do things on their own, are easily hacked and are not a good source of proof. Kohberger lived 8 miles from the crime scene. I live in a city where I travel all the time, many miles from where I live and so do millions of other people. I want to know more about that delivery driver who delivered the food and the driver who dropped the 2 girls off after the food truck, and why Kaylee and Maddie seemed to be upset with one another while walking and talking on video when one says to the other "What did you tell Adam?" and she somewhat angrily replies "I told Adam everything!" People in the area have been purported as saying the crime scene was a party house where people would go to get drugs. Just check out the police cam videos of when they were called to the house, multiple times. Why didn't the police shut that down? If the roommates who survived heard screams, if they were calling the other roommates on their cell phones and the dying victims were not answering, why not call the police then? You called to see if they're all right in their bedroom. Not one of them answers. So, do you call the police or go to bed? She's lying. Why not just step outside the room and walk a few feet to check on them if you didn't feel it was necessary to call the police? Then why did you feel it was necessary to call everyone in the house to see if they're answering. That, alone, would concern me and I would barricade my door and call the police. She says she saw some guy dressed in dark clothes and a mask and she recognized them just by 2 eyebrows? And then----no one's answering their phone, so roommate(s) decides to catch beauty sleep and decide to never call the police? Now, all of us have some good ideas on why this might be. If it quacks like a duck................it's a duck. She's got to be lying because she makes no sense and her story keeps changing. No one deserves to be murdered. But when questionable activities are taking place, one is constantly hanging out with unsavory people and police are constantly being called, well, bad things might be expected. Not deserved, but expected.

Best video yet! Because she didn’t cut her off.

i didn't know most murders convicted on circumstantial thanks

School he went to owes him a refund 😩

Thank you Ashley

His attorney is a crook.

What a thing to say! Didn’t do a great Job. He got it done! Sadly😢

Toe-tag-parole - love that saying ! Hopefully that's what he'll get

I wanna listen to the Interrogation interview

When Ashleigh Banfield says, "Toe tag parole"!

Beating a dead horse, Ashley. There’s nothing new until June.

Heard that there's some money for his defense & that the prosecutor will allow family members & close witnesses before & after the event to testify. I'm getting the feeling that Idaho really wants to clean up their mess after hearing what has been discussed by social media. Hope they are wise and that this won't happen again.

I thought you have to have "probable cause" to arrest someone....especially on a "murder" charge. On what basis was he arrested and charged with these murders? What is or was the "probable cause?"

Them bringing out the girl's stuff breaks my heart. I watch a lot of true crime, but this case has really touched me. I used to live in Idaho- it's so safe there no one locks their cars. To think something this horrific could happen especially in Idaho which is a very nice place (people) is shocking and heartbreaking. I feel we were all robbed of the gifts and talents and lives these young 4 would have had. They were stolen from us by evil. Kaylee was going to move to Austin where I live and I could have seen her and I being really good friends. Truly makes me cry to think of their last moments.

What if we shifted the framing? Instead of saying “if they did this, they weren’t that smart” we said “even smart people with knowledge of the system leave a trail..”

I think by him saying has anyone else been arrested he did it because he to see if maybe he could throw them off and I also think he left the knife shief on purpose to see if he could thrown them off but it backfired. My opinion. He thought he was super smart and cuculated.

To answer your second question, there’s no possibility until his team knows everything they have it. That happens more when the victims and perpetrators are family. And they’re simply trying to save their family from gruesome details and further trauma. There would be no reason for him to take a deal at this point. I do, however, think, after they got a better idea of how much more the prosecution has, there is a 50-50 chance that he will take a deal then. I believe him asking if anyone else has been arrested, was in reference to his father. Not implying, there was an accomplice, just wondering if his family is being brought into it I also work in a big city. So I may just be basing my opinions off how things are done in more urban areas.

He’s guilty

"these kind of cases"?? Dear God, I hope this case is unique!!

DNA on knife sheath...game over.

I think Bryan asked that question out of concern for his parents. I also feel there is a lot of evidence we don't know about. Nothing has been released about his car and if anything has been found in it. From what I have read, blood, etc. cannot be totally cleaned out. Also, what was found in the trash that he put in the neighbors can? Anxiously waiting for June 26th!!!

Look at those crazy eyes...so scary 🙄

I did wonder about another perp when his first question to the police when he was arrested. Did you arrest anyone else?

I think he was sloppy because he reached such a breaking point in wanting to fulfill his fantasy that he wasn’t thinking clearly and he overestimated his ability to have the plan unfold his way. He should’ve known better but he was overconfident (I believe another commenter just pointed out his narcissistic attitudes), and everything compounding reaching a certain point he just had to do it sooner than later no matter what. Especially the fact he was losing his job …double rejection.

Koh-Berger is cooked & finished!

Okay Banfield.. please.. tell us what a “good job” would entail?

Did she just say “Cut his damages”? Really?

He’s confident as he should be. He’s up against a mountain of very circumstantial evidence.

The cocky creeper shouldn't be so cocky. Maybe just cannot help himself.

Did this attorney guest just say that, "a circumstantial case is just as strong as a direct evidence one..." ?? That is lunacy.

Does Ashley even listen to what her guest is saying?

I also ask on circumstantial evidence would you convict your daughter, son, brother, sister or even your father. I have seen people jump to conclusions and want to point the finger too soon- just to say we have someone. Just something to think about. Most jurors have said they didn’t believe they did the killing, but felt pressured to side with the town ie family.

its ok to want justice but framing someone without evidence is not justice...the evidence against him is extremly slim and the local LE has been very shady and very sloppy with witholding information about trampleing the crime scene, stating the crime happened between 3－4, claiming the elantra was part of the crime yet no real link and the public hanged the man before the trial...thats not justice...the man is a perfect scape goat for a very strange town that doesnt want the crime being linked to their main bread winner ie university of Idaho...i honestly think they randomly picked him because of his car and the fact he is not local...the guy has no motive, convictions, past of agressive behaviour ect....i m not 100% sure but if pings and a white car is all they have considering the crime scene was compromized and dna could have been planted combined with strange events and other deaths I m 95% convinced he is being framed...

what's up with the scratches on his face at time = 1.05 mins. All the still photos show no scratches after he sits down. Were these photo shopped out?

There is not a credible source for their talking point when discussing 'Was anyone else arrested'. Yet, these 'sleuths' will not stop pretending that actually happened. The person that claimed it is the same person that made that fake audio. He was a scammer. Besides that guy, nobody claimed this. It should be treated as nonsense unless a reliable claims it. And when you go on like that while pretending to be 'the news', it is hard to take these people as serious, about anything.

If I were innocent I would’ve done the expedited court process.

The worldwide profile made the stakeholders must solve the crime whilst they were unable to find the killer. Understandably, the U of I & City of M were all at stake. Remember, when lots of ppl worried that the case might go cold they suddenly - nearly 7 weeks after the slayings & 2 days before NY - found BK, who mostly resembled the killer. But they forget to have a connection btw a killer & the victims. Then, the narratives of stalker, incel, misogynist, “frozen shock phase”, professional ethics and etc. flew out one by one.

Toetag parole? That's not nearly as savvy-sounding as you think. Even when a killer needs to be put away for life, we need to acknowledge their humanity.

Why weren’t his fingerprints on a database as a security guard and working in criminal justice?
