  • Try comedy instead. The mouth and sniffling noises on the open mic during panel discussion are unbearable. Mute your mic man

  • Very flippant

    I had to turn this off after about 5 minutes. Making light of some pretty awful details. They need to remember they’re not discussing a set of footballs results, this is incredibly sensitive and should be discussed with greater care.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bryan Kohberger, Sandra Birchmore and Anna Kepner: Who Traded Testimony for a Deal
Q: Why did Judge Hippler vacate the hearings?
Motta believes the judge wanted to prevent the defense from making him the focus of a public hearing and instead plans to resolve the disqualification issue and related matters on written submissions.
Bryan Kohberger, Sandra Birchmore and Anna Kepner: Who Traded Testimony for a Deal
Q: What does it tell you about a police department when a former officer needs immunity just to describe its workday?
Motta explains that use immunity protects William Farwell's testimony from being used against him, suggesting he has potential criminal exposure. It does not protect him from perjury charges or evidence the government already had from other sources.
The Judge Bryan Kohberger Wants Fired Wiped Every Court Date
Q: Why are we even, how is it our justice system is entertaining a breath from him? If that's the waiver.
Faddis explains that a plea agreement's appeal waiver may not be legally enforceable in every circumstance, and a person may retain a constitutional right to appeal, including on ineffective-assistance grounds.
The Judge Bryan Kohberger Wants Fired Wiped Every Court Date
Q: Why did the judge do this?
Faddis says the order gave no reason, but Hippler may be considering recusal or may believe the filings lack merit and could be dismissed without hearings.
Bryan Kohberger’s Judge Erased WHICH Court Dates?!
Q: Can a judge say this isn't worth a hearing and not grant it?
Faddis says that, generally, no one is automatically entitled to a hearing on a motion. A judge can summarily deny pleadings, and a filing needs enough credibility to justify taking up court time.
