During the court hearing yesterday I thought to myself " I wish Bruce would do a video explaining all this"
My wish came true, you truly are the best of the best! ❤
👋🏼
😀
Same here😅
Me too! I was like: “omg what is really going on”, and here we are!
000000⁰⁰⁰]
My brain for the rest of the day after watching a Bruce Rivers video: "Bruce Rivers he's a criminal lawyer...Bruce Rivers he's a criminal lawyer...Bruce Rivers he's a criminal lawyer."
What he do?
@@chumchum4393 well, he's gonna react to all the self snitchin.
😂😂😂😂
I thought I was the only one 😂😂😂
Me: Ahhh
This is the only CZcams channel where I actually enjoy the advertisement.
THANK-YOU for covering this, Bruce!!! If you or Michael see my comment here, would you ever please consider discussing how it feels to defend someone in court that you KNOW is guilty? I'd love to get your perspective on this because I know you'd give an honest answer and keep it real. Anyway, as always, thanks for being so on it with all of these cases - I LOVE your channel, it's honestly one of my favorites here on YT and I watch all your videos. Thank-you Bruce & Michael! ❤
Ps - looking sharp as always, Bruce! 🔥
He has spoken about this. He says he represents guilty people all the time, but EVERYONE is entitled to the best defense according to our Constitution, so he is not conflicted.
watch some videos, he already gave his opinion about it many many times
@@cold-wolf he has 375 of the suckers now lmao. Do you remember any particular video he talked about it in? If not, maybe "watch some videos" is kind of a useless comment to leave
He’s a good one
Idk why but Bruce is such a comforting presence to me😂
It's been my late night watch for the past 2 weeks 😂 Bruce rivers he's a criminal lawyer
I like your style sir. I keep coming back to you as you are not trying to bullshit and play it straight. I really appreciate someone like you. There needs to be more like you on CZcams.. You remind me of some of the best bosses I ever had. Good job sir. Thank you.
Just ask to suck his digh if it’s that serious. I’m sure he’ll give you a retainer fee.
FACTS
I agree with you Steven he keeps it real 100% I love it
I feel sorry for his family too. His parents are both retired, one sister was a school counselor and lost her job, and his other sister got fired from her job too (according to interviews). No wonder his family hasn't been to visit him in jail. They didn't kill anyone, yet his family's life has been changed forever.
Why were his sisters fired? That sounds like wrongful termination.
@@nickpavia9021 They were fired because they're related to Brian. I guess that people were uncomfortable around the killer's family, even though I agree that it seems unfair.
He is innocent until prove guilty. It is easy to judge people then it will become anarchy. Let the justice folloew its process.
I hope the sisters sue. They should win big.
@@Jen-cc9xk Worker's right are trash in most places in the US. I doubt they have a case.
Whether he would die by injection or firing squad sounds more humane than how those students died.
True!
Nah he'll get 5 years probation
You do realize that - at this time - he isn't proofen guilty? Do you?
He is innocent. Don't say crap like that. Even if he offed the attention hoar is that even a crime? Not all heros wear capes
@@Morticia147*proven….don’t*
Your statement had impact…without the clerical errors 😐
Thank you Bruce and Michael Rivers for your channel and what you do. You have an 80-year-old fan who watches all of your videos and admires your integrity, intelligence and wit, Bruce. I enjoy the law and watch many of the trials being televised and subscribe to many of the true crime channels. Years ago I was twice employed as a paralegal-although for lawyers involved in civil law (very boring), not criminal…but I would have been fascinated with criminal law.
Ok nobody asked, boomer
Some reasons defendant might "stand silent": (1) prosecutors and defense attorneys are in the process of negotiating a plea agreement; (2) high profile case and defendant wants to try to lessen public outrage if he were to state "not guilty" as opposed to having the judge enter it by default; and (3) defendant wants to be "different" and difficult.
Not sure what the plea agreement would be on a quadruple murder - life without parole??
@@weeshirley5934 I suppose it could be about what prison they get to spend their life in? Newer prisons often have better facilities not just for guards, but as a byproducts for safety of the correctional officers, the prisoner spaces are also more functional.
@Wee Shirley
The judge listed the death penalty as a potential punishment, so a plea deal would certainly take that off the table.
I read an article which stated an inmate who is incarcerated with him says all he watches is coverage of himself so he's going to make a statement by being silent, and he's going to watch that too. He was getting his Ph.D. so he obviously knows about criminology and probably thinks it is some kind of strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes the stand.
@@weeshirley5934 maybe he's hoping for a plea to a lesser charge or to avoid the DP? An insanity defence?
It's quite disturbing how easily a bad man can enter a home and murder people.
Certainly wish men could learn to control themselves
@@grogsmashrock7240 oh shut up
@@grogsmashrock7240 Blue collar crime has been falling for decades while so-called pink collar crime is on the rise. Confusing gender with criminality serves no productive purpose.
@@grogsmashrock7240 uh what…? This one sick individual doesn’t represent the majority buddy, stop being a little beta
@@grogsmashrock7240 this level of behavior is usually well beyond 'behavioral control'.
A 72 year old man was convicted of armed robbery. At the sentencing the judge sentenced him to 30 years. The old man said that he would be 102 years old and that he couldn't do that much time. The old, grizzled judge looked him in the eye and said, "Well, do the best you can".
I watch so many lawyers break down cases on CZcams but you combine humor with yours (even if it’s a simple one liner roasting the defendant) and I truly appreciate it. I’d love to see you react to these videos and get your perspective on how YOU would defend the defendant.
I live in another country, so all laws are not the same. What this channel does is make me think of how laws affect society, how they are applied, and possible different outcomes. Thank you for making me think.
So, murder is legal where you live?
i like your name. it fits me as well. and let us vintage ladies always exercise our brains
@@mvpfocus did you not get enough attention today?
@@mvpfocusWTF?
@@theaccidentalsenior I was wondering what exactly you were talking about, in regards to this video. _Obviously, my comment was not serious._ But your comment didn't seem very appropriate either, without further clarification.
I like that Michael the content genius gets proper credit for his work.
I was hoping you would cover this! I am so fascinated by the process but confused as well. You make it so much easier to understand and I have learned so much!!
I am in Australia and these court processes are nothing like ours . In fact once someone is arrested, then no public discussion is allowed . The jury is anonymous forever and are never allowed to discuss the case before , during or after .
Best Girl this is interesting to learn. Thank you for shar😅ng. 💕
Bruce's closing in on 1 million. C'mon, tell a friend 🎉
But who is he?
What he do?
@Edith *woosh*
This is the only channel where you can look forward to the ad/promotion because it’s always unique, improvised and often hilarious.
Agreed.
I’m now at the point where Bruce and Michael automatically get the like 👍 from me before I watch the video!!!!
I always do that automatically as otherwise I forget , but if I don’t like a video then I untick . Never for Bruce though .
@@BlackStump172 okay.. nobody asked tho
As someone from Idaho, I understand we have plenty of cities and counties that are unusual, usually because they have roots to the Native Tribes of the area. But it's pronounced LAY-TAH county, and MOS-COH (with a long O). Hope this helps!
Love the content. Awesome you do it with Michael.
Give me 59 for my sex change
I recently found this Channel, and love it.
I would love to hear what he has to say about Tiffany Marmaduke. The case is very interesting.
She worked at a mortuary and her job was showering the bodies to prepare them for funeral. She noticed a man had an erection, so she climbed on top. Later she discovered she was pregnant.
After giving birth she filed a child support case with his family, maybe the estate.
She was arrested.
I would love to hear what he has to say about this. I am pretty sure your comment will be read before mine would.
Have a good evening.
I am so glad I stumbled onto this channel. I feel like I missed my calling in life & I should have studied law. I love how this guy breaks everything down & is so comical while doing it! I’d love see him post a short clip of an opening or closing statement of one of his trials.
Greetings from Ireland. This case was huge news here and in the UK. Thanks for covering it. It's such a tragedy. Hearing the anguish of the families really brought that home to me. Four lives of young people with such promise snuffed out in such a short time. And four families destroyed and for what? For a sick fantasy, probably.
Definitely a sick fantasy, smh
@gaiaiulla it really shook up our community, and still kinda does. My boss, who is also one of my closest friends, is friends with the parents of one of the victims. Bruce mentioned there was a prior encounter of some kind at a coffee shop. And, as far as I know, there was also one on the night of the murders. Apparently, one of the girls had snubbed him ata bar earlier that night. That’s not 100% certain, but it’s one of the narratives locally that remains in play.
But, he was also studying serial killers, and was a “star pupil” of noted forensic psychologist professor Dr. Katherine Ramsland, who worked with and wrote about the BTK Killer, and others.
@@sigurdfenrisson2446 that brings it so close doesn't it? It must have been terrifying thinking that there was a killer like that on the loose.
It must be very difficult for the community to recover after such horror. Can't imagine what the families are going through.
@@sigurdfenrisson2446 I know I'm a bit late to comment, but I tend to skip videos about this case because I've seen so many. I'd like to say how sorry I am that your community has had to deal with this tragedy. I'm sure I'd be horrified and maybe a bit scared considering y'all live in a college town. Does everyone believe he is guilty, or have you heard of any who think he's not, and they're afraid to admit it? For the life of me, I can't believe that everyone in town believes it, or at least doesn't question how he was able to do all that, and leave two others behind. I'm not trying to be rude, just wondering what the consensus is. Again, I'm so sorry this took place in your town.
Seeing as how I’ve only recent discovered you I’ve binged all of your videos and can’t wait for more! 😎
I've never seen an innocent person stand mute.
how on earth do you know who is and isn't innocent? considering there's innocent ppl behind bars and guilty ppl free, that's one hell of an assertation to make..
@@newname4405 there's very few innocent people in prison. There's very few innocent people out of prison. But I've never seen a defendant stand mute that wasn't later found guilty by a jury of their peers. Does that wording pass your standards? 🤣
I can’t imagine being one of these family members having to watch the defensive attorneys joking around and laughing and have the Judge fail to take 5 minutes to figure out how to pronounce the victims names. Feels disrespectful all around.
🎯🏆🎯
@Quintyn Hendersom -- You think this is the FIRST TIME the Judge or anyone working in this courtroom has heard or spoken the names of these victims?! 😂 OK, Kwinten, ok.
I got the impression the judge had some issues with his nerves, and he kind of said as much. I'm sure he'll get over it and have plenty of chances to get them right later.
Phonics....most adults know to write a name like it sounds if they can't pronounce it properly...it's how tv anchors and radio announcers have pronounced words and names correctly for decades...it's NOT rocket science. Mispronouncing names is disrespectful especially when the person is deceased.
I feel like when he cleared his throat and said, “This is hard.” I feel like he meant the circumstances and not the pronunciation of the names.@Karl Marx playing technical death metal
Excellent explanations of the court proceedings for this tragic crime! Looking forward to your continued reactions to this case. Thanks Bruce and team.
I was hoping you would do this. Thank You.
This case gets me each time I hear about it . Poor victims family. I have never ever seen a silent plea before . I'm sure this case is going to show alot of first. Thanks for the content .
Why are they hiding him yet they dont hide other criminals
@@mattk8810 good point
@mattk8810 cause he is innocent. Even if he offed the attention hoar....is that really a crime? Not all heros wear capes.
Interesting that a criminal defense attorney would refer to Kohberger as a brutal murderer before he's even been tried.
He's a social media grifter far more than an attorney. You think a practicing attorney that wasn't making money elsewhere would put out videos with profanity and saying some of the stuff he does on other videos? He just knows his audience and what way to run with it to appeal to the weird ass True Crime fan girls
Wondering if"standing silent" and having the judge enter a not guilty plea, indicates they're negotiating a plea w/o the death penalty.
No, it was because killer BTK was his hero. He studied him and copied him. BTK Also stood silent so once again, this fking Monster was copying him.
The victims couldn't negotiate why should he have a choice when they didn't.
@@shady8479 if the DA is willing to go for LWOP, it isn't for the perp's benefit. Death penalty cases are subject to years of endless appeals which are difficult for the victim's family.
@@Jeanne90275 DP? I had no idea the justice system was so utterly punishing...
@@Jeanne90275 You're a smart cookie. One of the flaw with these reactions as that even experts make *seemingly* careless mistakes because they have to speak about things on the spot.
My question: Why is the State so apparently adamant about keeping whatever evidence they have against Kohberger a big secret from the public? If the case is an obvious "slam-dunk" conviction, why not tell the world what it's all about? Eventually, it has to be disclosed anyway. What's the big secret?
Why has Nashville PD still not released the Tranny manifesto? Why are police body cams often with held or "missing". Who knows. But the pattern of government organizations doing their best withhold information is well established
Impartial jury, due process, and not overturning a death penalty.
I like to watch criminal investigations, interrogations, & trials. BR's explanations of the law are interesting & sometimes funny. Great vids.
Papa George, of LYK...Peter Tragos, has 40 years of experience and agrees this "silent" aspect is unusual. He did say it could be due to the possibility of civil claims by the family members of the 4 students that were mur#ered.
I'm grateful for most of the attorney's that create factual and truthful commentary on legal cases. I never miss a Bruce Rivers video as you're top tier, imho...💜
At this stage of the proceedings, a silent plea or not guilty plea on his part would be irrelevant to future civil proceedings unless he pled guilty. If he is offered a no-contest plea bargain to resolve the case, that might be useful to him. It just means they couldn’t use the plea as evidence.
I am so glad I found this channel, the way you explain legal terms is great. For people like me who rarely see the inside of a courtroom ( one jury duty) I appreciate your explanations.
Looking at that dude sends shivers down my spine.
Right
Jake Gylynhall?
Something about his face reminds me of Ted Bundy. Creepy.
@@aisle_of_view give it a few years before we get that biopic w him 😂
I agree he just looks like a killer! But it could be because the media has already painted him out to be a killer, but he looks creepy to me as well and I agree!!
Im so glad you covered this one! And hope you keep covering it!
Also you should do a q&a episode! Because I've got questions.
Thank you, this is exactly the analysis I've been looking for, for days. Great job. Show us the document! Perfect.
Idaho rarely has grand juries. According to a DA friend of mine, this DA probably did it to save the roommates from testifying until trial. He also said standing silent is very rare here too.
They were going to need a GJ at some point, by doing it and eliminating the June hearing prevents everyone from having to do a lot of unnecessary work.
Rarely has grand juries??? What the hell you talking about?? All felonies need a grand jury.. that's how indictments are returned.. I'm not sure what you mean , but unless those felonies are resolved somehow in lower court, i.e. dismissed or reduced to misdemeanors, the they go straight to a grand jury who determines if there is even enough evidence to support the charges to be tried . They either return a. "true bill" ( indictment), or a " no true bill" ( it's over with).. in the case of a true bill it goes to high court for further proceedings, jury trial ext...
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

You crack me up. THANK YOU! Humor is important in this world.
Are there any videos of Bruce in action at court? I’d want to see that!
8:20 I was not aware that he may have been on the verge of getting dropped from his PhD program. Wonder if it was that and a combination of other "stressors" that led him to snap and do this
On the verge that has been done for a long time 😂😂😂
Ted bundy was also a studying lawyer. Just because they are smart does not mean they aren't capable of committing these types of crime
I love this channel ! By far the best, most watchable breakdowns of cases
How unbelievably difficult it must be to see the accused in person. I understand why they need to be there but how painful!
You should throw us a curveball and do a sponsor ad for Raid Shadow Legends at least one time. seeing you trying to get through an about Orcs, lizardmen, and high elves would be hilarious.
Thanks Bruce and Michael Rivers ♥️
Thus is a great channel, and having this explained makes so much sense, not being a law student (retired teacher), but the thing is, with the cases that are appearing, explaining really helps in the understanding. So glad i found this channel
Is it common for a person to act out when it seems their world is collapsing? You said he may have been on the verge of losing his doctoral status.
Thank you for sharing your expertise, im listening.
I also subbed😂
Hey Bruce, I'm here down south in Brazil, enjoying every single one of your videos... I like how funny you are!!! keep up the good work.
For some reason, I’ve missed this entire case/crime; just been away from social media and I’m not American. It’s interesting, with the gag order, how different this case reads in the news. Without evidence being known the news really has nothing to report, and so many articles are more “reporting what is known,” and while some articles are still trying to infer guilt, it still makes me think far more cases, especially sexual assault cases, should have a gag order to keep the details of the case out of the media. It makes it a lot harder for the media to simple throw in the word “allegedly” before going on to destroy an individuals life, if there isn’t much they can talk about, until it’s heard in the context of the case.
Your love for your son is very clear. Good parenting job!
He didn't ask for a pat on the back
Excellent explanations and content overall. Thank you for the coverage
I dreamt I was being apprehended and requested counsel. I was reminded I was in a foreign country where was no such entitlement. I think I’ve been watching too many of Bruce’s videos.
Best option for him, no matter what way he said not guilty would have gotten negative attention. I'm still an innocent until proven guilty kinda person.
This was the best option lol? Everyone and their dog is writing articles, doing news segments, and talking about this on all platforms. People think he looks MORE guilty for not entering the plea himself and are comparing him to BTK.
I don't care either way because he's guilty 😂.
I disagree, pleading not guilty would be the best thing for him if he's actually innocent.
I agree
RIP all those victims. I enjoy your videos, thank you for the analysis...
Bruce! You forgot to say 'allegedly'!.
Now why is the Idaho courts or judges so against the first amendment?
The first amendment has nothing to do with crime, it’s only in reference to your speech about the government. Not your speech about a crime, not what you say on facebook, not what is in the comments. There is a schoolhouse rock on it, or you can read the constitution if you really didn’t believe me and the judge.
@@sunnohh it’s questionable as to whether the judge will let the case be televised. As wasn’t done in the Vallow case, also in Idaho. I believe that’s what the OP is referring to.
@@sunnohh no 😂
When I call someone a CZcams lawyer you are NOT what i mean 😂
As a criminal defense attorney, I would have expected you to have included the word "allegedly" in your recap of who Bryan Kohberger is.
Clearly more of a social media personality than anything as evidenced by the profanity and some other things he has said would impact his professional image in a negative manner.
Thank you
Bruce, curious your thoughts on the Judge mis- pronouncing one of the victims names?
The family was upset by this. It isn't Kayla Goncalves it is Kaylee Goncalves. I think Ethans last name may have been too.
Xana and Kaylee
@@AKAClaudia Her pronounced Xana's name wrong too???
@@leannabedore9:34 is where the judge gets it sooooo wrong
@LawNerdAmber oh my... I just listened again from the time mark and that was bad 😬 Did he really say "Sorry this is hard?" I would imagine pronunciation was learned long before law school?
@LawNerdAmber your name is law nerd so I checked to see if you had any law videos and saw the PNW thunder storm! I live in Puyallup Wa 👋👋
Hi neighbor! That storm was awesome, we don't get them very often.
I love watching these myself but I love reading captions!
Should be mandatory death penalty for crimes like this if proven guilty
💯Bruce Rivers he's the criminal lawyer
And he's going to react to all the self snitching 👊
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Prayers out for those trying to recover from the passing of their loved ones 🕊️
Prayers out for Bryan 🕊️
It can never be overboard...to assure that everything, as minute as it may seem, is crystal clear to any defendant to make sure everything goes as it should without hiccups or unfairness.
Thank you for providing a defense lawyer pov on this case. By not entering a plea does this open the door for mental defect defense?
Thought you might do this video!!! Been waiting for it, thanks!!!
I am so glad we have Bruce to explain things. Thank you. Perhaps this attorney doesn't know they could skip this or she just wants it read. It is making him uncomfortable & perhaps bringing him to reality. That in itself is a clue
I love this channel. Even the Esign add makes me laugh (even though it compeges with our product).
If I was innocent, I would be devastated. He sits cold and ‘matter of fact’.
Right??? I mean that just says it all right there. No one who’s innocent, going about their life gettin their PhD., is so cold and unemotional being charged with a quad murder!
Issue is that whatever behavior he displays it can be construed as conscience of guilt.
Laughing and lighthearted? It's not because he knows he is innocent but because he is calleous.
Serious and silent? It's not because he invokes the fifth but because he is cold and calculating.
Collected and rationally talking? It's not because he is convinced of his innocence but he is - again - cold and calculating.
Crying and emotional? It's not because he is facing a lifetime of prison for what he didn't and sympathy for the victims but he is 'only sorry for himself'.
You can not win.
Aren't you glad its not you, the damage
I enjoy these. Bruce does a great job of explaining legal concepts and procedures.
WOW, I'm impressed with Bruce's analysis. Most other sites are trying to make the silent plea a nefarious thing when in all actuality Kohberger was never even asked how he pleads. It was asked of his lawyer.
It's usually the bad media. Good lawyers know very well that BK could remain silent and did so
Been waiting for this one, thank you 🙏
If I remember correctly, standing silent allows you to change your plea with little judge oversight. If you plea not guilty I think that there has to be trial that goes to a ruling so you can't really make a plea deal mid trial.
Yes, once you get a plea deal, you have time between hearings to make a decision.
Once the hearing comes for a decision on trial by jury or by judge you then have the opportunity to take the plea for the last time, if not you will then get to choose which trial you would like to take. Big cases like this is normally done by jury.
I don’t think they will offer him one though
That's crazy! I didn't know that.
What?? This makes no sense. Sorry I appreciate you opinion, but I’m almost certain it’s not out of the norm. The puts in the not guilty plea. Plea deals, only if the prosecution chooses to bring a plea-deal they can from this point until trial. Idk many who just plea guilty. There’s 3pleas you can enter, (mainly 2), Guilty, Not Guilty(most plea), our constitutional rights, must be upheld during this time until you have been proven guilty and have been sentenced. I feel a lot of ppl do not understand what our Rights are as Americans.
Aiden Fucci pleaded not guilty then guilty right before jury selection. I think he could change plea as long as trial hadn't started.
You can make a plea deal all the way up to the jurors coming back with a verdict
Being a criminal lawyer you of all people should be upholding innocent until proven guilty.
I was just going to say did he go to trial and was found guilty and I missed it??
Yeah no he does that as a job, but this is CZcams. He is entitled to freedom of his opinion on whether this dude stabbed people or not based on his experience.
@@jessylynn5846 Those TB's of evidence doesnt lie. Which is why he's been indicted and has no bail for a first time offender. He's guilty and he knows it. You'll know soon enough too😂
Thx for the video and info regarding „standing mute/silent“: Idaho law professor Samuel Newtwon explained, that this is a tactical move in Idaho. There is no special plea if they would go for an insanity defense. Furthermore the defendant and especially his attorneys could now better negotiate with the DA (I do not why, but that is what the Mr. Newton explained in an interview). A „not guilty“ is often misunderstood as saying „I am not responsible in any way“ in the court of public opinion, which making defense much harder as it already is.
Cheers and keep it up,
Pepe out of the old world
Geez, judge. Figure out how to pronounce victims' names before you get on the bench!
While it would have been good for the judge to do that, ultimately, people seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill here.
i cant talk in front of other people at all.
@@liarwithagun I bet you'd change your tune if you were one of the victim's families or had an ounce of public speaking sense.
@@BA-ef4pr Are you one of the victim's family members or do you just play one in the comments section?

Thanks for covering this👍..I do think that was one of the sisters baby crying in the background cause she brought her baby to court
I'm so curious... So typically, when do judges usually sentence people to concurrent terms, instead of consecutive terms?? (I've always found this topic to be fascinating)
Michael! Using the same language as the judges is fucking smart! Well done!
Hurts even more when they get your kids name wrong.
Grow a pair
There he is again.....Bruce Rivers, he's the Criminal Lawyer......👌
This is a genuine question. How does it feel to defend a defendant that you know is guilty of said crime? I know everyone deserves a fair trial, but I’ve been on a murder trial as a juror and the lawyers of the suspect obviously knew they couldn’t win their case. The evidence was so overwhelming. Anyways, I enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
i wondered the same thing.. but i think i once heard a CDL said that they just tell the defendant to take the plea deal to avoid the worse outcome.. so in Brian’s case; i assume he takes the guilty plea so he doesn’t get the death penalty
I'd LOVE to hear Bruce's thoughts on this, especially as a criminal defense attorney, himself! I've always wondered about this and would really appreciate hearing his perspective. Hopefully Bruce or Michael see this and consider making a video on this topic! 😊
What was the case??

I think it’s obvious that standing silent in this case is another attempt at being in control as limited as it might be.
Thank you, Bruce and Michael.

the intro is sending me😭😭🤣🤣
The family is crying not only because of the circumstances, but also because this judge didn’t do his due diligence before this hearing and he absolutely butchered 2 of the victim’s names. So disrespectful.
he doesnt even know who hes talking about, who died. terrible form.
“He absolutely butchered 2 of the victim’s names.”
I might choose a different word… I’m sorry lol
This judge was working other cases all the way up until this hearing. People misread, mis pronounce names all the time. Some people just don't follow a case just because it's high profile. Especially when you work in the court system. Sometimes you just don't want to see or hear anything about crime after working around it day in and day out. He may have thought the Kaylees name was misspelled or pronounced a certain way, giving how people spell names oddly these days.
I watched a CZcamsr today criticize him for getting the names wrong, claiming that even though he loves 5000 miles away from America, he could pronounce them all and he mispronounced the Goncalves last name himself. So he sounded pretty stupid.
Just because someone makes a mistake doesn't make them disrespectful. Judges are always super busy.
Boo fucking woo people mispronounce shit all the time. What matters is that they get justice
@@njpme It takes 2 minutes to read through the names. He should have asked if he doesn’t know how to read or can’t pronounce the names. He called Kaylee, Kayla? Really? It’s DISAPPOINTING and DISRESPECTFUL to the victim’s families. Period. Kaylee’s sister was disgusted and most of America was right there with her.
Honestly I just come for the intro song 😂😂😂😂🎶🎶🎶🤣
You need to study this case further, I have been following it since it happened, and my perspective has changed a lot. I think there is way more to this story, Kohberger may have been involved, but I'm not convinced he is the murderer.
His blood on the knife sheath?
@@joannahampton5979 Don't think so, the reports is it is just touch DNA, it, the sheath, had to be sent to a second lab to catch it.
🙄🙄🙄
I agree
@@joannahampton5979 Prosecution is not going to use the sheath as evidence anymore..
1:23 Allegedly Mr. Lawyer… Allegedly
Has anyone used Esign yet?
No but I used eforms
Everyone should get esign it’s freaking awesome
I'm wondering if the "standing silent" plea is strategic in terms of future appeals? Also, I never really thought about murder sentences generally running consecutive. Seems like a lot of other charges they run concurrent (or at least in NYS). ✌️❤️🙏
I think "life without parole" running consecutively would make the families feel better. In practical terms, the guy hasn't got four lifetimes to give up, but at least each victim is recognised by a life sentence, rather than one quarter of one life sentence, if they were run concurrently. That's how I'd feel. I usually tend to feel that concurrent sentences end up being too lenient.
I send as much love that the families can handle my heart goes out to you all ❤
I saw a video of a young girl arrested for DWI. Apparently, she was a drug dealer who was implicated in the drug overdose of a University of Idaho student. The drug was Fentanyl. She appeared in photos with one of the surving victims who took hours to report the incident at 1122 King Road. Wondering if the use of the drug was the reason for the delay in reporting the incident by the roommates.
I feel uncomfortable speculating on things like drug use. It feels unfair to the surviving roommate involved. Sure, it’s always possible, but if there’s no real evidence other than her being in a picture with another young woman, then I don’t really think it’s appropriate.
Is that the connection? I haven't really paid much attention to this angle, but was curious about how they connected the two.
I always feel smarter after watching the Bruce Rivers show , keep up the great work
It's like Dahmer and Ted Bundy had a kid.
Right? He's just creepy looking 😬
