About this episode
Will Bryan Kohberger Explain The Motive For His Crimes In Court?

The nation remains haunted by Bryan Kohberger’s chilling murders, but a crucial piece remains unknown: why did he commit these horrific crimes? Attorney Eric Faddis joins us to discuss whether Kohberger is likely to reveal his true motives when he addresses the court, and what his potential explanation could mean for survivors, families, and the public craving answers.

With extensive legal experience on both sides of criminal cases, Eric Faddis examines how defendants typically handle the sensitive issue of motive during sentencing hearings, and whether Kohberger’s legal team would encourage him to explain himself—or remain silent. Faddis offers listeners a clear view of how a statement of motive could impact Kohberger’s sentencing, public perception, and legacy. Could admitting the "why" behind his actions serve any tactical benefit, or is silence his strongest card left to play?

Beyond the legal strategies, we dive into the emotional and psychological stakes at play. Faddis discusses what it would mean for the families if Kohberger attempts to justify, rationalize, or explain his motives publicly. We also explore how a lack of motive affects public understanding of such crimes and what legal experts look for in cases like this to help unravel a killer’s inner reasoning.

As we await Kohberger’s possible courtroom statement, Eric Faddis provides crucial legal and psychological insights, unpacking why we, as a society, are obsessed with understanding the minds of murderers. Join us for a powerful exploration into the significance of motive and how one criminal’s explanation—or silence—can shape our collective understanding of justice.
