Kohberger's 'overwhelming' evidence plays factor in death penalty decision: Ex-prosecutor | Elizabet 

He definitely deserves the death penalty if he is found guilty of this crime. I love Matt Murphy and Elizabeth Vargas together.

It is such a horrible brazen aggressive and planned murder/s. He has no right to sit around and get fan mail,marriage proposals, more fame, be "respected" in prison for such a crime,furthering his studies and compulsive surveys with fellow criminals. He us challenging all levels of authorities,legal,digital,forensics and cannot get any with it.

51 terabytes of video and audio evidence is insane to me. And over 10,200 photographs just to name a couple of the evidence against him. THATS CRAZY! I wanna know what they have!

Overwhelming? They haven’t presented anything other than circumstantial evidence in the PCA.

big fan of Matt Murphy, Orange County guy, always insightful commentary

The only imperative is that he NEVER gets out. 4 life sentences. Losing his life decade after decade in prison will be a harsher sentence that death.

Matt Murphy is my favorite.

This is WHO I have wanted to go help the prosecution on this case, from day 1! If you aren't familiar with who he is, the guy was a rock star homicide prosecutor for Orange Co. CA. I couldn't think of anyone better to assist in burying that SOB, b.k.!

Overwhelming how?????

I think they have no choice but to seek the death penalty. This crime is so heinous with many victims, who were still almost children. Some of the victims' loved ones certainly won't agree to anything else either. And even though the death penalty is not used much in Idaho, one is being sought for Chad Daybell, so surely for Kohberger as well.

100% DEATH PENALTY. Because an (alleged) monster like BK will spend life in prison revelling in his crime and infamy, receiving FAN MAIL.

Thanks Matt

Four innocent college students whose bright future were taken away! Not only were their lives taken away, but their future children and their children's children will now never be given an opportunity to come to this earth and live a life.

in the parkland trial a juror who got on the jury literally stated to the other jurors, they dont believe in the d*ath penalty and they made it to the jury... so i think the selection system sucks.

I'm for the death-penalty for dangerous psycopaths like Kohberger as there's always the possibility that he could escape and kill again. Bundy did.

Hopefully they follow thru with the death penalty and doesn't give in...like what happened to Darrell Brooks and the Waukasha parade incident. That man plowed thru families, killing children and they didn't seek the death penalty. SMFFFFFH.

I love me some Matt Murphy 🥰 He is so amazing

Awespme guest! Please have him on for a longer interview.

It will be 20 30 years before they put him on the gurney!! All their parents might not be around to see justice done! That's why lawd need to change how many appeals do they want? If a jury has voted him guilty and there is no doubt at all that he committed these crimes, why do we always give these criminals chance after chance? His victims couldn't appeal being killed, could they now??

Was planned -- he needs to go meet his maker!

I thought the procecution said they are NOT using the sheets DNA in court. Defendant couldn't get "discovery on it" so since they aren't using it the procecution didn't want to put it in the discovery stuff Check it out.

They better have some solid direct evidence to get the death penalty

He was starting his career as a serial killer like BTK & that was his major & profession of choice! Hes cold as ice & he stalked & hunted down his prey for months as I feel it was Maddie he fixated on but I feel Ethan & Xana were collateral damage as she ordered a late nite snack & saw him! Ethan broke his nose in fighting him off but was stabbed quickly thats why Xana was crying!! He wanted to get out of there fast & didnt see Dylan who can ID him!/This should be a DP case & his family is so quiet they know he did it too!! Get those rifles ready for a firing squad!! He doesmt deserve to go out easy!!!

I find it funny that a lot of people are claiming there is no evidence to convict him, yet here is an ex-prosecutor who says the evidence is "Overwhelming". There is also a grand jury indictment which doesn't indict willy-nilly. Though, I think life, no parole, is a worse punishment than death.

They should seek the death penalty if he's responsible for murdering 4 ppl in the middle of the night.

I don't understand how this former prosecutor can listen to just one side and then judge. This is the job of the judge and the jury. Prosecutors accuse/ indict. Defence lawyers defend and refute. The judge and jury pass the judgement.

Others involved. 100%. Why didnt the killer try the first door he came to. Dylan's room. He knew exactly where to go and who was where....he was helped

What evidence?

Absolutely, I wonder if he was going to take this class on law he decided to commit the crime himself thinking he could be found not guilty, thinking he’s so smart!!!!

I Want kohberger to be around inmates that are HARDCORE & REALLY MEAN & EVIL & that they will make Kohberger so scared in life in prison.

@Truth And Transparency

Matt Murphy!!! A prosecutor who fights fr the victims!!!

“The evidence IS overwhelming against BK and the crime was heinous.” He deserves the death penalty for such a horrendous crime. Justice for Maddie, Kaylee, Xana and Ethan.

A meaningless discussion. The question is guilt, and the evidence so far is not there. If there is no victim DNA in K's car or apartment, then he is innocent.

I hope the death penalty will eventually be abolished globally.

I can well understand the emotions of the families of the four victims of this heinous crime.

What motive would he have for killing four people? Was he passionately so called "stalking" all four of them? Three ladies and one gentleman?

Great guest in matt.

Good to see you two!!!

Overwhelming evidence! Where is it at? Please share!

This cries death penalty

"Yeah"

He needs to the get the dp if they have the evidence

I don't believe in death penalty,let him rot in jail forever.

Conviction to DP takes 35 years in Idaho. Not very scary.

I know it's not the best timing for saying this, it's maybe inappropriate but I must admit that this man is amazingly smart, intelligent and very sexy.EDIT: I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PROSECUTOR! 🙌

I don’t think BK, if convicted, would get an easy time from inmates in the general prison population, not necessarily. Prison is brutal and dangerous. BK would still get fan mail from supporters on Death Row, and might even enjoy the isolation and relative safety it affords him. And he could be there for a long time-one inmate, Pizzuto,has been there in Idaho for 36 years, so BK could outlive many of the players in this tragic melodrama. Death Penalty? Not sure it’s the way to go. From Moscow.

The death penalty is wrong

He will never be executed. Idaho does not like executing people. They have the longest serving death row inmates on average, and have only executed 3 people in the past 50 years. The odds of him being executed are slim to none.

GIVE HIM THE 💉☠️💉☠️💉☠️ PENALTY‼️‼️‼️

Wow! Still a gag, no evidence, and the thread has him dead

So, LE plants the sheath, claims DNA, and now enforces a gag order to protect their “evidence” 😵‍💫

it's not overwhelming at this point, all we have is a bunch of circumstantial evidence. it doesn't prove HE did it. it's likely he was THERE but who is to say he acted alone? why the rush for the GJ instead of letting BF talk? there is tons we don't know. so doing these interviews that are extremely biased, is just sad imho. but i know you want to make your ratings. you do you NN

if they kill him will they ever learn who helped him?

Any mother or father that sent there children out to school to better there self foremost and secondly to experience freedoom to become a adult ...should easily understand the death penalty ...i know and appreciate Steve will not rest till he see justice for his baby girl period ....b.k.thinks he will be protected by compassionate law no way ...if he get a life sentence only ...any parent should boycott and negate to send any child to any school in Idaho...it will impact the town's and economy ....ps that b.k. clown walking around courtroom no cuffs sitting beside his defense and she moves away knowing he is a creep and could put her in a arm bar choke hold at a moment notice ...idaho sharpen up the world is watching how this plays out ...

Guy just sounds like a hassle so throw him away if guilty

Mocow PD and the WSU Police screwed this up. He's going to get off on a technicality. Watch! WSU and ISP did some shady $hit in regards to evidence and Bryan, if he did do it, knows damn well what was not left as evidence sitting on the bed. He would know what he did, or did not, bring into that house and if they are saying they found something that he knows damn well he never brought in, then he knows they had to lie on the PCA because they didn't have enough. Hence why A Taylor wants to know ever tiny bit of every second in regards to chain of custody. The officer who found the girls in the upstairs room did not say he saw the sheath which was supposably laying right next to Maddie when he went into the room. He wrote, LATER I found.... Really? Later? Then good ol Ofcr Daniels with the WSU police, who held onto evidence at her dept (in an evidence locker)in Washington for 10 days ...when Idaho Police were the ones who collected it. Oh, and during those 10 days, she went back to BK's apt ALONE saying she "forgot" to leave papers when she was there previously with the Idaho Police. She says she didn't go in....but, reeeaallllyyyy????? BS. This wreaks to high heaven. It seems more and more likely they did some dirty crap to seal his arrest and he is going to get off because of it. Me personally...There is no way in hell I would convict him knowing what Daniel's did and that the Idaho State Police left evidence with her and that there was so little DNA on the button that they had to send it out of state to be tested AGAIN. Also, how many DNA cells did they find....I heard it was like 20....when someone touches something they leave thousands. It was touch DNA and THAT is why the DA won't turnover discovery and records of the collection process to BK's team. No f'n way would I convict this guy, unless they came up up with something so rock solid, which they don't have. I'm telling you they screwed this up BIG TIME!!!

If evidence proves him guilty and he's been so adamant about being exonerated that is completely sick n deserves the death penalty

Well when do we get a chance to see or hear of some evidence? Seems to me like some bullshit. The roommates should be charged for failed to report a dead body a very least.

This certainly wasn't unbiased or fact-driven. I'm okay with the prosecution going to the defense and saying "show me what you have" but the prosecution is *legally obligated* to show the defense what THEY have yet they continue to hide it from everyone. It was important for LE to arrest a suspect before classes began in the spring or U of I is facing a financial crisis so they put a few loose threads together so they could make an arrest and now they are trying to make the crime fit the arrest, not the other way around. What "overwhelming" evidence? It's all hearsay until we can actually see it.

You have no evidence he Brian did this. Actually Brent Kopacka has plenty of experience in killing people.. and his involvement with drug trade people in that town ... The university is making all kinds of pressures to hush the info on Drugs and that Moscow idaho is a Hub for drug transport from Alaska where there is another "mad greek " restaurant , through Moscow idaho and other places.

Bryan kolberger reminds me of Richard speck

Let him rot in prison for his whole life. Spend every day thinking about what he did and never seeing the light of day as a free man.

Overwhelming???? We shall see in trail . Also news nation yall being extra when it comes to this case

News nation! 😂😂

"The wicked are unnaturally proud and overly confident. Pride cometh before destruction." (Holy Bible)

I think K loves the center of attention he gets, finally. He will milk this for all its worth.

Yup. He is going down. All the evidence points to him. Pure evil.

What "overwhelming" evidence? The death penalty is not a deterrent.

I think the families should have a say in death penalty or not. After all they lost their babies.. However , the nature of the crime and evidence BK most certainly does deserve to be considered. I continued to wonder if he has hurt others, besides the breaking and entering with the videos and the possible theft of underwear.. unless he was just getting started with this heinous act.

The defense lawyer is definately trying to broker a deal. There's no way you would think you could win this one... DNA, cells phone, car, IDs found at the parents house...

The roommates just walk away ? This is a SET UP

I am not American, so not familiar with the jury system. Wouldn't it be impossible to get a neutral, none affected jury in this case? How do they find people that never heard of this case or it's details, when it's all over the place? Also, on what do they base the decision to have a jury at all ?(as I understand it, sometimes there is no jury, even in high profile cases?) I find having a jury at all, not leaving the decision to competent well trained people in the law area, feels unsecure and a bit like jeopardy...it can go either way, sort of, despite overwhelming evidence. Leaving it up to a bunch of people, perhaps not familiar with important aspects, but more prone to relay on feelings, seems a bit "old fashion", for lack of a better word.

The death penalty is morally wrong.

Why when America has the death penalty do they not use it. That school shooter Cruze should have been ended as well.

WHAT EVIDENCE?IF THEY HAD ANY EVIDENCE WE WOULD ALL KNOW THEM.

What evidence?
