Expert's bold prediction: Prosecution will regret Kohberger decision | Banfield 

Tearing it down after the criminal case is finished makes sense but it’s absolutely idiotic to tear it down before the trial concludes

it should be illegal to tear the house down until the trial is over

Someone doesn’t want the jury doing a walk through…crime scene walk throughs are powerful…

Makes no sense to demolish this home before the trial is over

Even with all the criminal professionals advice, the college is arrogantly going to tear down the crime scene. Never let it be said that education makes people smart.

Part of the cover up process. Nothing to see there, folks!!!!

Never assume you have a slam dunk case! Casey Anthony, OJ. The community is not going to begin to heal if the murderer isn’t caught, found guilty and put away for life.

Big mistake! If we want to make sure that all bases are covered for a conviction, we need to make sure the home/evidence stays up and available. This is a win for Brian K.😥

Its all part of the coverup along with people over the house before cops called. Get rid and mess up crime scene! Wake up people!

They should absolutely NOT tear this house down yet!

This is all about University of Idaho PUBLIC RELATIONS ! They want All of "this" to go away !

My vehicle was “evidence” when I was the victim of a crime. It was taken by law enforcement until the trial was over, 18 months later. I thought this was a similar situation. Home owners are paying a mortgage and taxes on a property they can’t use. Nope! The property is owned by the university. There is absolutely no reason anything should be done with that property until the trial is over. Disgraceful….

This is RIDICULOUS!!! I live in PARKLAND right up the street from MSD & can see the building from MY backyard that is STILL standing where the school shooting occurred!!!!! That shooting happened in 2018…. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS HOUSE DOWN unit AFTER SENTENCING 🙏🏻

It's already been destroyed in my opinion. Cleaned and everything moved out.

I can't believe the prosecution is not objecting.

Watched the Murdaugh trial & even seeing the jurors at the crime scene was very powerful & could absolutely understand how the crime could/was committed! It would be sad if BK did it & got off because the house was gone.

I live just down the street from this house in Moscow. As much as we want this eye sore gone, it should stand until the trial is over.

The country's bold prediction is the same. Doesn't take an expert to figure out this will benefit Kohberger. My question is who is getting paid off to do this now? They are running this entire case like a circus.

That house is not in the same condition it was at the time of the crimes; however, tearing it down can only benefit the defense and hurt the prosecution. I can’t believe the prosecution isn’t fighting this tooth and nail. One can only suppose the state thinks it has a fool-proof case. Yikes! I hope hubris doesn’t let a killer walk free.

Tearing that house down would be a very dumb decision. Considering that this is an ongoing Criminal Investigation like a capital murder case I would think that the state has more power than the college

ALLOWING THEM TO TEAR DOWN THE HOUSE IS INFURIATING.

The Dean of the college needs to stop this foolishness, LEAVE this crime house up until after the trial is over!

Yes a witness may be more forthcoming disclosing something that needs to be checked out in that house!

The question should be WHY do they want this house gone so bad? Feelings outweigh the need for justice?!! BK and his team must be very excited about this..

I know there are a lot of people visiting the area of the house and kids partying around there but it still doesnt make sense to tear it down before the trial. The college is rushing to put this all behind them, but it is still a crime scene! Whats next, knock down where the accused lived! Is any body living in his old rental, wonder how that feels!

Also, property Ma for the next apt building and the neighbors want it gone. Local police couldn’t wait to clean the house till defense put in a court order to halt it. Something is very wrong in this town.

It's infuriating that they would allow such a vital piece of evidence be tossed away! Why wouldn't the judge have some say about this?

What if he is not found guilty and they try to take a different suspect to trial? That suspect's defense team wont be able to go through the house.

Isn't this the second attempt to set a date for demolition prior to BK trial ?

Who cares what the flippin community WANTS!! These 4 ppl didn't want to die and it's about THEM and justice for THEM. Screw anyone and anything else.

Here's a thought... They know BK isn't guilt or at least others were involved. Tear the house down. BK is acquitted. And all evidence is gone. No one else can be held accountable. Crime goes unsolved. Cover up complete.

Why on earth would they want the house torn down and who wants it? Makes zero sense, so it must be a politician who has set these wheels in motion.

If the prosecution had a case they would not stall. Clearly, they have no case.

Who cares if people have to look at the house! What about the families who have to live with their babies no longer alive while there could potentially be another suspect free! 😮 i am appalled and enraged at the thought of taking that house down with out a full and complete conviction!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Wondering how the roommate who survived is doing. Hope she's got lots of support.

Walking a jury through an actual crime scene is so important. Defense does not want this. Just ask murdaugh how it went for him.

This case has been so strange, so secretive. Makes you wonder if they just have the wrong guy and the pressure was so big they rushed go get someone. Weird

The crime scene is being destroyed before the crime has been solved....

Wait until the case is completed. Never never assume you know what will happen. The system protects criminals. You need to protect the crime scene.

I will say it. The enthusiasm for destroying this house equals wishing it gone for reasons well above and beyond this one crime. This home didn't just pop out of a field of roses the night of this crime. It has a long and interesting history that simply led to where we are today.

Isn't that destroying evidence????

Wow. I really can’t see any benefit to tearing it down now versus after the trial, but I sure can see problems with tearing it down before trial is over.

I had a GF in college whose Grandmother was one of several victims of a SK in SoCal. The family had to leave the house untouched until the K's death. (I forget the actual cause of death, but it wasn't execution, rarely is.) The house and all of her belonging sat and rotted while his lawyers filed endless appeals. They family was denied justice and their Mother's/Grandmother's legacy. After the conviction, they scene should be released to the family/owners.

Don't tear down the house until after the case is done and we have a conviction 😊

This is getting old. Why is the trial getting delayed over and over. They need a judge Newman in this case. It's ridiculous what's happening

I don’t think the house should be torn down before trial, but when will the trial happen? What is hold up?

How many times has the prosecution let someone walk because they didn't do their job and collect all of the evidence? There have been, so many mass murders in schools and public places and how many of those places have been demolished? I can't help, but feel like the university has something to hide and that is the reason they've been pushing, so hard to demolish the house since they gained ownership of it. If they build a memorial garden, people are still going to know what happened there. I would be livid if my child, or family member were one of the victims and this 😤 was happening. You can't get the same experience from any virtual model as you would by doing an actual physical walk through tour of the house. The jurors won't get to hear the sounds from inside of the house like creaking of the stairs from walking on them. They won't know the actual distance between the rooms and the kitchen sliders. They won't get to have the actual visual of standing outside looking in to see what they could see inside of the house. I think that it should stand until after the trial. The jurors for the Murdaugh trial, wanted to visit the Murdaugh's property and they walked around the kennels and saw 👀 where everything happened.

The idiots got the wrong guy, the two roommates who didn't call polices need to be looked closer

The house is a silent witness as well as evidence, it should be left standing until after trial. Tearing it down won’t change the fact that there was a violent crime there as the Collage wants to tear it down in an effort to make the crime go away

But the crime scene is no longer 'intact' it's 'substantially altered'.

100% agree. Why the Prosecution wouldn't want to keep it up and "fight" for it, is beyond me. I understand the reason for it "emotionally," but I would want to make sure that - whatever the outcome of the trial, there were no regrets at the end of the verdict. Anyone close to the case or area of the house, should want the person responsible to be off the streets, for good.

How can it be legal? Until the Trial is complete it is still a CRIME SCENE absolutely nonsensical!

They say the house is toxic from mold, chemicals used to clean up and process the crime scene. Everyone would need oxygen masks and hazmat suits to visit it.

Its not that new evidence will suddenly fall out of a closet in that house, it’s that the house is a huge symbol of the violence that usually works in the favor of the prosecution. If the jury gets to walk through it, they will feel the horror and pain of the victims’ families which definitely helps the prosecution.... But if the prosecution team is corrupted by outside forces, maybe they don’t care if the house is torn down😮

Something the defense is going to argue is the timing, how he was able to kill 4 young healthy people in such short time and for that the jury might want to see the house, walk through it. Is not the same seeing it yourself and walking the distances between rooms than to watch it on a computer.

Giving items back to the families was pretty dumb. Removing furniture was pretty dumb. I say the house needs to go it is not the way it was on the night of the crime. Why didn't the families save the bodies for possible information that might have been missed during the initial autopsy? Like DNA transfer or lack of!

In reality, jurors visiting crime scenes is extremely rare and yet there have been convictions throughout time. I think second guessing the prosecution is presumptuous; they certainly know their case better than do we or Mark Geragos.

For once, I agree with him. He usually gives the standard Defense narrative. They should not tear down the house. Why do they want to?

The prosecution has a 3D digital image of the entire house. News Nation article "Idaho killings: Investigators focus on sedan, use 3D tech" by Joshua Eferighe, Brian Entin, and Nichole Berlie “We’re talking about lidar scanning of scenes. They call it 3D imaging because it gives you a 3D representation of the room,” Kevin Lothridge said.

A case of the cart before the horse IMO

Can someone enlighten me in Whose made the decision to pull it down ?

Although I personally think that visiting the inside of the house can give a rather wrong impression of things, I would still lean towards the position that it would be good to preserve the house just in case. It may be needed and eventually even for going inside. You can never know what will happen in court, be it a pellet issue or something else, and that's why you have to try to always make the cases bulletproof.

Kohberger is Doomed either way. Where will he try to live? . . . . . . Think.

I don’t understand their thinking by wanting to tear the house down now. What is the hurry? Why not wait until the trial is over.

It’s amazing how you people have convicted him before a trial has even taken place

I see 3 of the families wanting to sue.

I don’t get it. They are tearing down this house, yet they wouldn’t allow JJ & Tylie to be buried for years, and Tylie’s body is still not released. Those poor children.

The trial has not even started, not even a date to start. But they want to destroy the house, it’s interesting that the defense is alright with it, that makes me think 🤔Where’s the protest to stop this? Or petition ?

Regretting the decision would mean the prosecution actually has an interest in persecuting the actual perps of this crime and well…

If I were a juror I would want to go to the house to know what the other roommates could hear! 🤷‍♀️It just doesn’t make sense that they wouldn’t want to know this and find out first hand what sounds could be heard from every floor. You might find that the sounds travels to every floor, then you wonder why the roommates didn’t call the police? Gail

Only an idiot would want the house torn down until everything is concluded.

They know they're covering something up

That’s just crazy to tear it down now

If the prosecution is ok with the home being torn then their case isn't strong

If they tear it down, then I have to think there is a coverup going on!

The court should stop it and reverse its prior decision. The partition is at fault. Their opinion would be considered if they objected.

They keep saying it's what's best for the students, but what if this piece of evidence Is destroyed and it turns out it was needed and thus sets a guilty man free? Is having a murderer loose what's best for the students? Whether it's up or tore down, I guarantee you, every student thinks about it, so err on the side of caution for the kids sake and leave it up till the trial is completed.

Why the hurry to tear it down???? Hope families fight this insane decision.

Only person wanting the house to go is Kohbergger

Everyone following this case and there are millions following this case are saying don't touch that house. If that many people think taking the house down is a mistake then the cops and everyone involved know damn well it's a mistake. So why are they allowing it? There is something so off about this entire case and the way it's been handled. From the surviving victims not reacting to what they heard and seen then calling other people instead of the police until 12:00 noon. It feels like there are cover ups going on all over this case.

The house has been torn up inside. Everything needed was extracted. Nothing interior is of value for the case.. the state has more than enough for trial Vs ann Taylor has absolutely nothing to defend bryan . Nothing to worry about.. they gave them time for trial. Time is up. The house was given the green light to go ahead and move forward. This expert always likes to sound negatively smart 😂 doubt jurors would be allowed in a house with asbestos anyways

Jurors don't go through crime houses every freaking trial . Let's hope the prosecutor has their act together .

It doesn't take an "expert" to realize that.

More likely, Brian will get away with this horrible murder and the juror will say well it would of been a good idea if we were able to see and walk through the house it would helped make our decision but it was demolished

The defense doesn't want a walkthrough by the jury. And , will do anything to prohibit it.

Geragos also defended MONSTER: Scott Peterson. Thank God! Unsuccessfully. BOOOMMMM!

Take the jury over there.

Why the rush?😮 a ridiculous decision! The Families need Truth and Justice! Leave the house standing until after thenn trial is completed !

Idaho prosecutors also don't want cameras in the Daybell trial. Something weird about Idaho prosecutors imo

All right please forgive me for saying this but this is my opinion I know why they wouldn't tearing down in my eyes because they don't have the right alleged suspect and I think this is way bigger than any of us really would like to admit and I think that it's way more evil than any of us would like to comprehend and I think that it has people involved that quite honestly would blow our minds right out of our skulls if the truth were to come out That's my opinion and I think that they're afraid that somehow or some type of evidence was overlooked or left behind or just some way shape or form that it can be proven or something pops up that exposes the whole rundown eventually if they are to go in there and pictures in there picking around and pokeing around cuz we all know that we got a lot of people with a lot of big imaginations and especially for sitting on a jury like this we're going to have all kinds of questions and we're going to want to see all kinds of things and we're going to look at this and look at that and do things that maybe other people would never thought of and when the crime scene still standing that gives the ability to expose the real culprits in the real truth and have it just all unfold like a bad game of dominoes so that's my opinion I think it's the sooner they can get that the heck out of there the sooner they can breathe a little easier knowing that it would have to be people that actually talk and expose what I'm alleging and then they'll say prove it because crime scene is gone and just because you've got drone pictures and little programs on your computer that let you see what something looks like that doesn't mean anything that means absolutely nothing to anybody if you can't go in there feel it touch it smell it taste it get feel for exactly what happened see oh my gosh right there Oh yeah this this this this XYZ ABC you guys get what I'm saying So otherwise there was no reason to tear that house down there a zero reason to tear it down until after the trial unless it's an inside sicker than sick already job

PUT IT, GET THAT EVIDENCE OUT OF HERE! SHIELD! SHIELD!

University is the largest employer in town. That’s why.

Perhaps what Prosecution is covering up is more important than a conviction. Cops and university likely involved

I agree. Don't tear the house down.

nah

When a property is a "Crime Scene" especially for a crime such as this, aren't there legal steps to halt the demolition ? Can't someone involved ask for an Injunction to stop it? It's too early in the case to allow this to occur. The scene should stay available until the case is over. Likely nothing will be built there again. With the Death Penalty being brought in this case, keeping the house standing should be of paramount importance. The defendant will benefit from the college board decision. Can't that decision be appealed?

They don’t need to tear it down, the evidence will be gone,

It will be huuuuuge mistake! They mush stop house demolition!

I made the same comment that Mark made as to why the house should not be demolished before completion of the trial. Suppose evidence or information is presented by the prosecution that the defense was unaware of and it requires a return visit to the property by the defense team. As Mark said something always happens at a murder trial that was unforeseen, and in this case, the defense had to file numerous requests for discovery because it believed it was not receiving all the relevant information, and as I recall, the Moscow authorities claimed they gave everything they had to the defense team and anything else the FBI has.

Who is pushing for the house to be demolished?
