Can The Public Tell The Difference From Fact VS Fiction In Bryan Kohberger Case?

The Idaho Murders | The Case Against Bryan Kohberger

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the trial of Bryan Kohberger, focusing on the defense's request to change the trial location from Latah County. The defense's survey revealed that 98% of potential jurors in Latah County are aware of the case, with 68% following it closely and 67% believing Kohberger is guilty. The conversation explores whether moving the trial to Boise, with its larger and potentially less biased jury pool, is a sensible decision to avoid appellate issues. Scott argues that relocating the trial could help achieve a more impartial jury, as the smaller community of Latah County is heavily invested in the case. The discussion also touches on the challenges of distinguishing fact from rumor among potential jurors and the broader impact of public opinion on high-profile cases like Kohberger's. Scott notes the emotional biases jurors may carry, whether they believe in Kohberger's guilt or innocence, and emphasizes the importance of minimizing bias to ensure a fair trial and avoid prolonged appeals that could further traumatize the community and the families involved.
