Would A Jury Have Convicted Bryan Kohberger At Trial? Defense Attorney Bob Motta Breaks It Down Description:
Would a jury have convicted Bryan Kohberger if this case went to trial? Or was there just enough uncertainty to risk a not-guilty verdict? In this episode, we get the legal perspective from defense attorney Bob Motta on the evidence, the strategy, and the real risks both sides were weighing.
With DNA evidence, cell phone data, the sheath, and witness timelines on the table—Motta walks us through how a trial might have played out. He offers expert-level insight into the prosecution’s strongest cards, and where a defense attorney could have still tried to punch holes.
More importantly, we examine what prosecutors feared going into trial. Was it the inexperience of the DA’s office? The risk of a rogue juror? The emotional weight of a four-victim case in a small-town courtroom?
If you’ve been questioning why this didn’t go to trial, this episode offers the most grounded legal explanation you’ll hear anywhere.
