Bryan Kohberger Says He NEVER Should Have Said Guilty

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

Bryan Kohberger now says he never should have said the word guilty. He said it anyway, four times, in an Ada County courtroom, once for each of the four University of Idaho students he admitted killing.This episode is about the gap between those two things, and about who was standing next to him the day he closed it. Kohberger is in segregated housing at Idaho's maximum security prison for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He admitted all four killings in an Ada County courtroom. Now he says that admission should be thrown out, and he has filed to make it happen without a lawyer attached.We read what he wrote, and we look at how he wrote it, because the writing is the tell. We revisit the day he pleaded guilty, who was standing with him, and how much time he and his legal team had already spent going through the evidence. Then we get to the single sworn sentence that leaves his new claim with nowhere to go.Underneath all of it is a letter these four families received before any deal was signed, containing a written promise about this exact scenario from someone who should have known better than to make it.The Goncalves family responded the same day, took the petition apart, and had a few words about the outlet that handed him a platform in the first place.Sourced from the court docket, the filings, and dated reporting on the University of Idaho case.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
