1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: It was such a heart wrenching murder that he can't 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: get a fair trial in that community. 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: In the interest of justice. I don't think the families 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 2: want to wait. I don't think justice wants to wait. 5 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 3: This is the Idaho Massacre, a production of KAT Studios 6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 3: and iHeartRadio, Season two, Episode eight, Change of Venue. I'm 7 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 3: Courtney Armstrong, a producer at KAT Studios with Stephanie Leidecker 8 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 3: and Gabe Castillo. There have been more than a dozen 9 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: pre trial hearings in the state of Idaho versus Brian Coberger. 10 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 3: The trial had an original start date of October twenty 11 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 3: twenty three, but nearly a year later, many issues still 12 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 3: remain to be decided, including determining if Laidakh County still 13 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 3: has a viable jury pool. 14 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 4: New court filings reveal the defense thinks that quote a 15 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 4: fair and impartial jury cannot be found in Laytak County. 16 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 4: They add that enlarging the jury pool will not do 17 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 4: anything to overcome that pervasive prejudicial publicity because Laytak County 18 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 4: does not have a large enough population center to avoid 19 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 4: the bias in the community. 20 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: Setting a trial date and battling over change of venue 21 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 3: are inextricably intertwined. We spoke with many experts to understand 22 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: the intricacies of the pretrial hearings. Stephanie as journalist Connor 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: Powell what he thought about the change of venue request 24 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: on the defense's part. 25 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: This is where the judge and defense prosecution are going 26 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: to essentially battle over change of venue, which he wants 27 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: to see it moved out of Moscow, Idaho, because their 28 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: argument is that he can't get a fair trial there. 29 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: It was such a dramatic and just really the heart 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: wrenching murder that he can't get a fair trial in 31 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: that community. And the judge might see it that way, 32 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: they might not. That's sort of up for discussion. The 33 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: other issue is where the trial should happen in when, 34 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: and it's a small town. Right where this murder took 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: place and where the trial is likely to take place 36 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: is a small community. There's a school right across the 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: street from the courthouse. And one of the arguments for 38 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: pushing this back, in delaying this is to do it 39 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: during the summer so that the media onslaught that's going 40 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: to happen with this trial doesn't impact the local community, 41 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: particularly the students, the kids of that community. 42 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 5: And also in the university, So that seemed like a 43 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 5: pretty smart plan. That was initially going to be this summer. 44 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 5: We were thinking July August of twenty twenty four. Now 45 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 5: that it's pushing so far, Look, I get it, he's 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 5: going to have to have a trial on the moon 47 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 5: to escape people knowing who he is. This is not 48 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 5: only national news, it's become world news. And changing of 49 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 5: the venue sort of seems like that might just be 50 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 5: a delay process and would really slow things down. Or 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 5: if they changed the venue so that it's not one 52 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 5: that's directly across the street from a high school, it 53 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 5: sort of opens up the calendar potentially for them. 54 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: I spoke with Long Crimes True Crime reporter an Jeanette Levy, 55 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 3: who spent a lot of time in Moscow, Idaho, over 56 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 3: the past two years. 57 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 6: What you have to understand is in Moscow, that is 58 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 6: a town of twenty five thousand, that's a college town. 59 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 6: And when I was there, the wound that this crime 60 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 6: created in that community, the pain, the grief really struck 61 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 6: people and stunned them. When I went to businesses trying 62 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 6: to talk to people about it, they felt like they 63 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 6: were personally wounded by this. It just took such a 64 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 6: toll that the influx of media and this is like 65 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 6: a place that should be happy and I and you know, 66 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 6: this was a small community that took this personally. And 67 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 6: you could tell that in speaking to people there. They 68 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 6: were doing their best to go about life every day 69 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 6: and running their businesses and getting their kids off to school. 70 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 6: But this was a horror that unfolded in that town. 71 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 6: And so it was a huge deal when an arrest 72 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 6: was made, and people may or may not have formed 73 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 6: really inflexible if you would opinions about that. You know, 74 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 6: they may have decided this happened and somebody's got to 75 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 6: pay for it. I'm not saying that's exactly what happened, 76 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 6: but it's possible. So I could see how moving it 77 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 6: might probably just be the best thing to do. And 78 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 6: I'm not talking a couple of towns over, I mean 79 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 6: maybe a few counties over. Who knows where they would 80 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 6: move it, but I know that An Taylor has suggested 81 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 6: Ada County, which is Boise. It's a bigger population center, 82 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 6: it has a more min courthouse Leyta County. It's a 83 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 6: very small courthouse. 84 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 3: So so for clarity, you mentioned Anne Taylor, and to 85 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: remind listeners, Miss Taylor is Brian Coberger's defense attorney, Anginae. 86 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 3: Are you able to describe the courthouse and specifically its 87 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: proximity to the school. I know that's been a major issue. 88 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 6: The courthouse is directly across the street from Moscow High School, 89 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 6: directly across the street. I mean, you can't get any 90 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 6: closer than that. And the courthouse is older, it's a 91 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 6: small facility. It's connected to the sheriff's office. You know, 92 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 6: the county's a county of forty thousand people. That's not 93 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 6: very big, So you know, you've got the cute little 94 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 6: downtown area, the courthouse kind of up the hill from there, 95 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 6: and the sheriff's office. In the courthouse, it's a building 96 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 6: that kind of isn't an L shape, and then the 97 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 6: high school is right across the street, so it's very quaint, 98 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 6: it's very cute. It's a small town. 99 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: Ann Taylor has said that summer twenty twenty five maybe 100 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: too soon. Then are we looking at summer twenty twenty 101 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: six in order to not interfere with high school and college? 102 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 6: And they made it sound like, I mean, the prosecution 103 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 6: thinks this is going to be a six week trial. 104 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 6: She thought it would be much longer. 105 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: I think fifteen week was her projection if I remember correctly. 106 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: So it's a pretty big disparity. 107 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 6: I would have to know more about what the prosecution's 108 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 6: thought process is on their case. But six weeks for 109 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 6: a case like this total, especially if you even get 110 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 6: to the mitigation phase, Wow, that's ambitious. Obviously the defense 111 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 6: is going to fight. It sounds like they're going to 112 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 6: put up a fight. They're going to be calling experts. 113 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 6: I'm sure they'll do their best to cross examine witnesses 114 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 6: and do their best to discredit thing, you know, witnesses 115 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 6: through cross examination. But who knows what they have planned. 116 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 6: She's arguing for a change of venue, and you can't 117 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 6: tell me that somebody like me. I'm pouring over this 118 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 6: stuff every time something is filed because that's my job 119 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 6: and I'm interested in it and I need to be 120 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 6: able to convey stuff accurately to the public. But I 121 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 6: don't think maybe your average juror is sitting there monitoring 122 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 6: the Idaho Judicial Cases of Interest website waiting to look 123 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 6: at this, and if they move the trial, you know, 124 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 6: she's got a jury expert that's going to come in 125 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 6: and say that, leta county's biased and they can't have 126 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 6: the trial there. Well, if you're going to move it somewhere, 127 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 6: then you're going to have a bigger jury pool, potentially 128 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 6: a larger pool of people from which to choose. And 129 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 6: the longer this gets drawn out, the more memories will fade. 130 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: But even the change of venue, I mean, that's obviously 131 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: Defense Attorney Taylor is trying really hard to get that changed. 132 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: But what even is the difference of moving a couple 133 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: of towns over in terms of people knowing or not 134 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: knowing about this case that is in the news all 135 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: the time. 136 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 6: Normal people are busy. Cell phones have changed everything, of course, 137 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 6: but they're not always on their phones looking at every 138 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 6: little development in a case. 139 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: Data Analyst's Body move In is a super sleuth who 140 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: you may know from Netflix is Don't Have with Cats. 141 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: She has some additional thoughts on the merit of a 142 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 3: potential change of venue. 143 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: I do think that they're going to move it, though, 144 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: I really do, and I think it just makes sense 145 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: more logistically than anything else. The tiny, itty bitty little town. 146 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: You know, the media is going to be all over this. 147 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: People are going to be traveling to try to attend 148 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: this trial. Logistically, I don't know that the city or 149 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: town of Moscow can handle all the people. And we've 150 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: been Courtney, we follow trials and this is what we do, right. 151 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 2: I just don't think in the interest of justice, I 152 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: don't think the families want to wait. I don't think 153 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: justice wants to wait. I do think it should move 154 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: it not necessarily because the jury pool, just for logistical regions. 155 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: It's just I just don't think it's going to be 156 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 2: a good thing. 157 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: What you just said is common sense, But it somehow 158 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: had not occurred to. 159 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: Me another year for all those families to wait right 160 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: to find out what happened to their children and limbo. 161 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: Especially in capital cases, there's so many pre hearing motions 162 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: and things that have to be done. And while preparing 163 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: the defense and preparing the you know, the prosecution. I mean, 164 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: I think media has taken a unique turn, especially with 165 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: true crime reporting. Right you have people who are independent 166 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 2: I'm using quotes independent journalists right now, who are you know, 167 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 2: their living is on YouTube and social media and they 168 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: were you know, they make little press passes for themselves 169 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: and whatnot, and they harass people to get information, and 170 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: I just can't imagine this trial happening while kids are 171 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: at school on recess playing so in the field that's 172 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 2: facing the court and possibly being on a YouTube channel. 173 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? 174 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 3: I would go crazy, and I think you're right that 175 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 3: parents would go crazy. 176 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: Of course, we all want justice, I mean, everybody wants justice. 177 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: But imagine living in that town and you have a 178 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: thirteen year old child who has to go to school 179 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: and wade through all the reporters to get there. I'm 180 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: not saying that would happen, but it could, and I 181 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: don't think the community of Moscow would like that. 182 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 7: Now. 183 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: I do think that the people of Moscow do want 184 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: justice served by them by their community because this happened 185 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: in their community and they want to be the ones 186 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: to see it through. 187 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 3: Right. 188 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: I think they're good, hardworking Americans that believe in the 189 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: system and want to see things through. I absolutely believe that. 190 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: I just don't know if they're going to be able 191 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: to be able to get that done in time for 192 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: school to be at a session, and that includes the 193 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 2: university too, because the town is full. It's while the 194 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 2: kids are in school. I think it's going to have 195 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: to move. Justice moves so slowly. I just don't believe 196 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: they're going to be ready in time. I just don't. 197 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: I am not a victim's family or you know, part 198 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 2: of the community of Moscow, so it's easy for me 199 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: to say the judges should just move it and get 200 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: it over with and move on and get to the 201 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: issues at hand. 202 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 3: Let's stop here for a break. We'll lead back in 203 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: a moment to get a better understanding of the judicial 204 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 3: practices that come into play with potential change of venue. 205 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 3: I spoke with kirk Nermi, knowing that Coberger's defense attorney 206 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 3: Ann Taylor wants to change of venue. I asked, if 207 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: the judge alone makes the final decision. 208 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 8: Well, ultimately, there's just kind of a default assessment that 209 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 8: the jurisdiction of the court of a particular county. I 210 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 8: believe that in this case is Letagh County is that 211 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 8: is the court that assesses and judge and tries all 212 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 8: crimes that are committed in that county. So that is 213 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 8: the general presumption, if you will, A defense can look 214 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 8: to change venue if they feel as if to another jurisdiction, 215 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 8: another county, district, what have you. However, the state is 216 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 8: set up within the boundaries of that state, and what 217 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 8: they have to do in order to motivate that to 218 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 8: happen is they have to assert facts to substantiate the 219 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 8: idea that their client cannot get a fair trial in 220 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 8: the county or district or what have you, in the 221 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 8: court that they are presently in front of. 222 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: I'm not asking you for statistics, but I guess how 223 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: rare is it to have the trial changed out of 224 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 3: the county in which the crime was committed. 225 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 8: Well, I'm glad you didn't ask for statistics because I 226 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 8: couldn't give you any, but I will say it's rare, 227 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 8: but much more common in a high profile case, because 228 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 8: when a case gets so much attention in an area, 229 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 8: and we're really talking about media assassination, be that traditional 230 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 8: media or social media, and how many people have prejudged 231 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 8: the case in a particular area. For example, small counties 232 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 8: have a smaller population of a jury pool to draw from. 233 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 8: Maybe there's a higher percentage of people in that county 234 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 8: that already know about the case, that sort of thing. 235 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 8: So that becomes the defensive job to demonstrate that bias 236 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 8: that would violate the sixth Amendment, and it becomes incumbent 237 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 8: on the judge to make the decision. The prosecutor in 238 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 8: some cases might relent. They might say, yeah, this is 239 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 8: not going to be a county where you can get 240 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 8: a fair trial, but ultimately that decision lies with the judge. 241 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 3: After speaking with Kirk, I got curious if there were 242 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 3: any statistics on change of venue and found a survey 243 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: out by the University of San Diego. The survey analyzed 244 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: murder trials from twenty to twenty twenty across all fifty states. 245 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: There were many mitigating factors, but the success rate of 246 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 3: change of venue was just twenty three point five percent. 247 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: Here Stephen Greenberg, attorney and former prosecutor, elaborates on the 248 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: potential outcomes for the change of venue in this case. 249 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 7: The norm is they're not going to get a change 250 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 7: your venue, and you can always get a jury. By 251 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 7: the way, people sometimes they like because they want to 252 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 7: sit on the jury. You know, we had a case 253 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 7: involving a very important political figure, all headlines. Did you 254 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 7: ever read anything about it? No, did you see anything 255 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 7: on TV? And of course they did it. But you 256 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 7: can always get a jury. And if I were the judge, 257 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 7: I would do everything in my power to keep it 258 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 7: from happening. Any judge worth is a ressault when want 259 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 7: it happened. Worst case, they'll bring in jurors from another area. 260 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 7: They can always be that, Oh I didn't know that. 261 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 7: And by the way, it's not unheard of to go 262 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 7: to a different venue and bring in a jury pool 263 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 7: from the neighboring area. You know, it's always subtle. They 264 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 7: just do subtle things. There's little things that happen during 265 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 7: a trial that can be very harmful or helpful. This 266 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 7: judge is not going to be helpful to a defense, 267 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 7: not at all, and he's going to keep the case. 268 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: I understand how unlikely you think it is for it 269 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: to move. But if a trial moves, does the judge 270 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: move with it? Is that possible or no? 271 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 7: Yes, any one of a number of things could happen. First, 272 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 7: the whole thing could be denied because they have enough 273 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 7: to get another pools. The other thing they can do 274 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 7: is the judge stays where the judge is and they 275 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 7: bring in jurors from a different place, which is what 276 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 7: I indicated earlier. The other thing is for the judge 277 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 7: himself for herself to move to a different venue and 278 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 7: pick a jury there. Any one of those three or possible. 279 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: Inside additions, Chris Spargoes shared his thoughts on security and 280 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: monetary issues involved with the trial's ultimate location. So you 281 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: talked about people in the area kind of feeling frustration 282 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 3: about how long this trial will be. Do you know 283 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 3: any other details about that or can you speak to that. 284 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 9: I heard there are concerns, which makes sense. I mean, 285 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 9: obviously that's another Again, that's another cost to if kids 286 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 9: are in school when that trial's going on, that's another 287 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 9: level of security you're gonna have to get to make sure, 288 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 9: you know, there's no sort of overlap. And I think 289 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 9: that's not something they really want to expose the kids too, 290 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 9: you know, sort of it's a very very very grim trial, 291 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 9: even the details. So I don't think, you know, you 292 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 9: want kids knowing about that, And I mean, I think 293 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 9: there's a general media attention. No one wants your tild 294 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 9: to be around the sort of media attention that's going 295 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 9: on with this trial. Like I can't imagine being a 296 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 9: parent knowing that, you know, eighty news trucks are outside 297 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 9: my kid's school while they're you know, that's just not 298 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 9: a way for a kid to live. And that's not 299 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 9: something you want for your child. So I think that's 300 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 9: sort of an understandable thing and they want to push it, 301 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 9: but again, push it or not, that's probably gonna be 302 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 9: another huge security. 303 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: Costs for them. Have you been to the courthouse. 304 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 9: I'm not. My colleague has been to the courthouse. I 305 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 9: am not much of the travelers. Nothing grand, and it's 306 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 9: it's which is kind of wild when you think about it, 307 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 9: because of the size of the trial. It also makes 308 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 9: it a big problem though, because of the amount of 309 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 9: power the media companies using and everything. I mean, it's 310 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 9: it's really a dream, you know, this this little courthouse 311 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 9: being surrounded by all these bands and all the supporters 312 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 9: and everything. It's it's kind of chaotic when when it's 313 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 9: these hearing and these are hearings are not even major 314 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 9: hearings right now, so to speak, you know, compared when 315 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 9: the actual trial starts. And even then, I mean, my 316 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 9: colleague said it was wild. How you barely get in 317 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 9: there's a million people around. It's really chaos. 318 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 3: Do you have an opinion on if the trial either 319 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 3: should move and or if the judge will decide to 320 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 3: move it. 321 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 9: I wish the trial would move for the sake of 322 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 9: the residents. I think that they've done enough. I think 323 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,239 Speaker 9: they bared the burden of and I just just get 324 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 9: it out of there for those poor people. Like I mean, 325 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 9: I don't care. I don't think really care about the 326 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 9: jury so much. I you know, I know that's not 327 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 9: really the legal president or know how they decided, but 328 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 9: it just it would just be nice if it wasn't 329 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 9: there for them, Like I just feel so nice for them, 330 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 9: if people just got you know, outlandd As somewhere else. 331 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 9: I like I said before the I don't think you 332 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 9: could put that jury anywhere in the United States, you know, 333 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 9: and get a truly impartial jury who doesn't know anything 334 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 9: about Brian cop I'd be nice to have moved to 335 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 9: another county, just for like I said, just for the 336 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 9: people that live in Moscow. That'd be great. But I 337 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 9: think it's going to be hard for the defense to 338 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 9: prove that any neighboring county is any more or less 339 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 9: impacted by what's been covered in the media. Let they 340 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 9: know about it them than Latin. 341 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: As of the date of this recording June twenty seventh, 342 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, a decision on change of venue has 343 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 3: not been decided. There was a pretrial hearing today where 344 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 3: it was speculated the decision may come down, but that 345 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: is not the case. Here's Stephanie as the debate over 346 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: the venue takes place. We found it interesting that Coburger 347 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 3: is housed literally below the courthouse in the basement. That's 348 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 3: where the county jail is, and he's been there since 349 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: January fourth, twenty twenty three. The jail itself is about 350 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 3: two thousand square feet and houses approximately seventeen inmates at 351 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 3: any time. So for comparison, according to US Census data, 352 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: the average newly built house in the US measures approximately 353 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: twenty three hundred square feet, so the average new built 354 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 3: house is actually bigger than where Coburger and his fellow 355 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 3: inmates are being housed at this time. News Nation did 356 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: a really good job breaking down a little bit of 357 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 3: his life behind bars. We know that there are about 358 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 3: three guards working at any one time, and when Coburger 359 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 3: goes out for exercise for one hour a day, he's 360 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 3: always with guards. There's been a lot made about him 361 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: receiving special treatment, specifically the fact that he has vegan 362 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: meals or new suits and a computer in his own television. 363 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: According to reports, his meals are primarily rice and beans 364 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: and vegetables. He has a computer, or at least access 365 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 3: to one, just like any other inmate. He can use 366 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 3: a thumb drive to look at documents related to his case, 367 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: make notes, and then get those back to his attorney. 368 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 3: That's pretty status quo. 369 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 5: As for him having his own television, that's because he's 370 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 5: not in the general population, and it's been noted that 371 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 5: the TV is actually outside of his cell, so he 372 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 5: can watch it between the bars and to other inmates 373 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 5: who can sometimes hear what he's listening to or watching. 374 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 5: He's apparently very interested in the coverage of his own case. 375 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 5: Something else interesting about his routine is that he apparently 376 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 5: attends mass at the jail library. That's the only time 377 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 5: he's actually allowed to be with fellow inmates, and he 378 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 5: speaks to a priest. In a Daily Mail exclusive, pastor 379 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 5: Mike Hall, who heads at the special group that sends 380 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 5: ministers into jails, is quoted as saying, we don't tell 381 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 5: folks that we will relieve them of their responsibility of 382 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 5: their crimes end quote. But he does speak to somebody 383 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 5: one on one occasionally. Outlets have reported that he's been 384 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 5: a model prisoner, even though he sometimes gets taunted by 385 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 5: other inmates while he's walking by. And one other curious thing, 386 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 5: Brian Coberger is apparently getting a lot of attention from women. 387 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 5: There are apparently cohorts of women who are reaching out 388 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 5: to him because they have romantic interest in him. 389 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 3: Let's stop here for another break. We'll be back in 390 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 3: a moment. Following is a quick conversation that happened between Stephanie, 391 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 3: journalist Connor Powell and Body Moven. This short chat sent 392 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: us pretty far down the path on this topic. 393 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: One of the topics that came up was this idea 394 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: of people who fall in love or have obsessions with 395 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: criminals who are in prison who have been particularly the 396 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: ones who have been accused of murder. And there was 397 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: the phrase that was thrown out was hybristophelia, which is 398 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: this idea of sexual attraction in response to somebody who's 399 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: committed a heinous crime. 400 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 5: It just really makes you wonder the why, right. This 401 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: seems to me like there has to be some sort 402 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 5: of unhealed trauma to never want your partner to come 403 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 5: home at night, is you know, kind of a tell 404 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 5: about something probably larger. 405 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: I was amazed as I was doing some digging today 406 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: a body that there are multiple social media sites dedicated 407 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: to the fascination and with people professing their love of 408 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: Brian Coburger. Is that something you've come across before in 409 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: criminal data research you've done before? 410 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: Yes, I have extensive knowledge on this disorder? 411 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: Is that extensive personal knowledge or just extensive knowledge? 412 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 3: Personal? 413 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: Okay, personal knowledge? So, as you all know, I was 414 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: in that Netflix documentary Donnov with Katz and the subject 415 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: was a murder that happened. You know, Luca Magnata was 416 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: the murderer, and I was in the documentary talking about 417 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 2: it and how he was caught and I was after him, 418 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: and you know all this right well after the documentary aired, 419 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 2: literally the first one hundred and fifty emails I got 420 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 2: were all from the same person telling me what a 421 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 2: scumbag I was because they're in love with Luca. And 422 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: to this day, you know, this documentary aired in twenty nineteen, 423 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: the end of twenty nineteen, so it's been four years. 424 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: Right to this day, I still get hate mail from 425 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: people who are obsessed with Luca Mgnata and how dare I? 426 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: And it's it's absolutely wild. 427 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 7: It gives me the creeps. 428 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 5: Is that because they don't think that he did it, 429 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 5: and that they just feel like he's been wrongfully accused 430 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 5: and he's just cute man behind bars. 431 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: It's a mix. It's a mix of people that are 432 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: trying to be like edge lords. There's many reasons people 433 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 2: have this disorder, right, It's there's low self esteem issues. 434 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 2: People believe they can change him. Others just see it 435 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: like a little boy that the killer once was and 436 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: he wasn't protected and he needs to be nurtured. There's 437 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: many different reasons. Not many people think he's innocent. 438 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: I was gonna say part of the arousal, right, part 439 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: of the attraction is that he did do it, right, 440 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: Like that's right kind of what they get off on. 441 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's part of it is this is a really 442 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: dangerous person and if I can get them to love me, 443 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: I'm one of the people he would never hurt or 444 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: you know, I'm protected. There's many different reasons that people 445 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 2: have this, and I think that you know, the people 446 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 2: that have this disorder think that, oh well, if I 447 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: love him, he's not going to be a danger. But 448 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 2: there's like a whole subreddit dedicated to the love. 449 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's sort of two groups on social media of 450 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: people who are defending Coburger, saying he didn't do it right. 451 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: And then there's this other little subgroup that you see, 452 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: which is like they sort of acknowledge, or maybe they 453 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: don't fully acknowledge, but they are turned on by what 454 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: he did. And you're right, it goes into that he 455 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: would never do it to me, and I can change him. 456 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean the people who think he's innocent are 457 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 2: not in this group of they call themselves bribrise. They're 458 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: not in this group of bribebries. They like photoshop his 459 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: images and the pictures they have literal alters with his 460 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: mug shots and you know, with the turtle suit on. 461 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: They make like fan cams on Twitter of him like 462 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 2: entering court and it's like in slow motion with like 463 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 2: music playing, and a lot of it too. I think 464 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: is the edge lord mentality. Right, I'm gonna piss off 465 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: everyone I know because I am patrol. You know, a 466 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: lot of it is trolling. They want a reaction, they 467 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 2: want the attention, they want people to be absolutely outraged 468 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 2: by their behavior. It's an internetroal, but they do exist, 469 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: and it is an actual disorder. There's many papers written 470 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 2: on it. I had to go study this because I 471 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: was getting a lot of like threats, you know, literal 472 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 2: threats against my own life. But if you look at history, 473 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 2: look at how many women were fascinated with Ted Bundy 474 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 2: and even to this day still are. And the bride 475 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: Rice Compare Brian Coberger to Ted Bundy, It's absolutely wild. 476 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 3: More on that next time.
