Brian Coberger’s essay suggests he knew how to cover his tracks

Brian Coberger’s murder defense has become more challenging after Idaho prosecutors revealed a university essay that showed him a deep understanding of the crime scene.

In another part of the essay, Kohberger discussed how perpetrators could introduce items to crime scenes to mislead investigators. He also warned investigators against rushing conclusions in such a scenario.
“Even if there are items featured at the scene by criminals to force an investigator to drop him out of the investigator, it’s not a job for criminal investigators to handle the crime scene and jump to conclusions,” Kohberger wrote in his calm work.

Crime scene experts believe the essay will be used against murder suspects

Speaking about the essay, crime scene expert Joseph Jacaron argued that it would be one of the key evidence against Coberger in his upcoming trial.
“Prosecutors will talk about this when it brings about a lack of forensic evidence left by the murderer,” a former NYPD cold case investigator said.
He added, “They’re going to say, ‘Look at how much he knows about this. He’s talking about clothes that are not textile.” This is useless for him. ”
Giacalone also said that Kohberger’s essay could explain whether police could only recover minimal forensic evidence and explain why he suggested he had tried to cover his truck.
However, despite the murder weapon (knife) still disappearing, police found the sheath at the crime scene containing Coberger’s DNA.

The suspect’s family may testify at his trial

Previously, it was revealed that Coberger’s family might testify at his trial after prosecutors opposed the family’s request for a priority seat.
“The state can call members of the Coberger family and testify at trial,” Ashley Jennings, assistant prosecutor Ashley Jennings, wrote in a court application to Judge Stephen Hippler.
She said, “Before the start of a trial, the state expects it to move the court, or the court will exclude from the court from testimony so that the court agrees on its own and generally cannot hear the testimony of other witnesses.”
Prosecutors argue that Brian Coberger’s family doesn’t have the same legal rights as the victims.

Disputing the granting of a seat of priority for the Kohberger family, Jennings argued that the accused relatives do not own the same legal rights as the victim’s family.
“The defendant requests that members of his family be granted the same rights as the victim’s family,” Jennings said. “However, “immediate family of murder victims” has a constitutional and statutory right to attend in accordance with the Idaho Constitution. There is no equivalent constitutional or statutory clause that provides these same rights to the defendant’s family. ”
Jennings also argued that Coberger’s family is not given priority, and that it would not violate his Sixth Amendment rights, contrary to his defense team’s claims.
