WEBVTT - Idaho Murder Families Confront their Childrens’ Killer

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, they're folks.

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 2>It is Thursday, July the twenty fourth, and some said

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 2>they wanted him to go to hell. Others said they

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 2>have actually forgiven him. There was tears, there was anger

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>in the courtroom and a powerful moment when one victim's

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>dad rearranged the courtroom furniture, shall we say, and with that,

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ.

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Robes.

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 2>We expected a lot yesterday from the sentencing hearing for

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Brian Colberger, of course, convicted now of killing those four

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 2>University of Idaho students. We knew this was going to

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 2>be a powerful day. And still it just makes your

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 2>heart break all over again.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I mean, every single parent out there had to

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 3>just put themselves in these parent shoes, imagining what you

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 3>would say and how you would feel staring down the person,

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 3>the man who brutally murdered your child for no reason whatsoever,

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>and the anticipation of either wanting to hear what he

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 3>had to say, to offer some explanation, to give you

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 3>some sense of understanding as to why it happened, and

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 3>then getting nothing from him, absolutely nothing. Some people didn't

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 3>want anything from him, but certainly some families expressed a

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 3>desire to either hear an apology, here an explanation, here's

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 3>something to try and make sense of something that was

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 3>and will forever remain senseless.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and for a lot of folks book, this was

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>a big day for these families. This was kind of

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the finality of this case. But there weren't surprises in

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>regards to the sentence. Oftentimes we're standing by to see

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>what the judge is going to do. No, this was

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 2>a plea deal. We already knew he was going to

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 2>get the four life sentences, no possibility of parole. I

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>think there were other ten years hacked on for early

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>So none of that was the surprise. The hope was

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>going in that he would say something.

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's get that out of the way as well.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>He was robes, as we know, he was going to

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>be asked, and the judge did do you have something

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>to say? And he gave us the only words we're

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 2>going to get from him in this case.

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>I suppose, yeah, that he respect respectfully declined to speak.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 3>I respectfully decline, he he said in a soft voice.

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 2>There was no from all descriptions robes and all, I mean,

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 2>we had courtroom observers in there, but also we were

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 2>able to see it on live stream.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Like nothing from him.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 2>No, he had no nothing, not a reaction, not a nothing.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 3>People, I cannot, I don't even know how you keep

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 3>a straight face like that, an expressionless face like that

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 3>when people are calling you a monster, when people are sobbing,

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 3>when you see your own mother crying, how you just

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 3>are emotionless, expressionless? It that was incredibly eerie, frankly, to

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 3>see his complete lack of emotion and just almost it

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 3>was as if he was not even in his own body.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>It was we should say, and you and I have

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 2>spend a lot of time in courts and courtrooms with tragedies,

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>and we've looked several of us, we've watched them live

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>on television.

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Before this set least was.

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>This was non stop, almost constant emotion in tears from

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>somebody in the courtroom, like as a collective, everybody seemed

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to be in tears, the judge, the prosecutor.

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 2>So for him to sit around all of what was

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 2>just a non stop emotional tear fest, for him to

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 2>have nothing is.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious.

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>But they say they're done with him, and maybe a

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of us should be as well.

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Look, I mean a lot of times, well so many

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 3>times with school shootings. Covering these types of tragedies, we

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 3>have made a point as a news organization not to

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 3>even say the shooter's name other than the initial reporting

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 3>day when people needed to know who it was, and

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>then from then on you just refer to that person

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 3>as the shooter because you don't want to give them

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 3>any more fame because so often some of these people

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 3>are seeking that, they're seeking infamy, they're seeking attention, they're

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>seeks so to not give it to them as part

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 3>of it. And some of the parents or some of

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 3>the family members did go up and say, I'm forgetting you.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 3>You are only initials now to me. They didn't want

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 3>to give him any more news coverage or any more

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 3>attention than he deserves.

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the people, I can't remember which

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>family member but actually said that to him, all these

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 2>people that are here and all this attention, it's not

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 2>for you, it's for them, it's for the kids, it's

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 2>for the victims.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought that.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Was you know, I thought it seemed like and I

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 2>know what he was saying there, but there is so

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>much fascination and there has been so much attention, and

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>we did get more details about Coburger. We're all wondering

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>just why the hell and we had and we got

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 2>more information yesterday because the gag order was lifted. But

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>it was hard and we were pulling together, like how

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>much do you want to talk about this guy?

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 3>It's hard because we're fascinated by evil, because it's first

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.799
<v Speaker 3>of all, it's scary as hell to know that people

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 3>like this guy are walking around. They could be your neighbor,

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 3>they can be your classmate, they can be someone who

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>you've allowed into your home unknowing what's actually deep within them.

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 3>And so to try to understand him might be to

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>try to understand evil, maybe to recognize it to prevent

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 3>further crimes. I mean, I think that's where a lot

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 3>of folks heads go, just to say, how could this happen?

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 3>How can we prevent and how can I avoid or

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>have my family avoid this sort of situation and literally

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.239
<v Speaker 3>to recognize evil.

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Really, right now, we don't know what we're dealing with. No,

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 2>we don't know what to look out for the next time.

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 2>We don't know the warning signs. We know nothing now

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 2>from this guy.

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 3>We heard from a you know, in some of the

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>information that was released. We heard from someone who was

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 3>talking to him on Tinder, We heard from a couple

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 3>of his classmates. We actually heard from a few of

0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 3>his fellow cellmates. But still there's no there's no Aha.

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 3>It's after the fact. They can say, yeah, he seemed creepy,

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah he seems like a weirdo. Yeah he seems withdrawn.

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 3>But there are plenty of people who are withdrawn and

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 3>antisocial or socially awkward, and they're not evil, and they're

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 3>not murderers.

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>What is it? This came out as well.

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>The prosecutor said this was not a serial killer in waiting,

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and went on to explain they went through his background

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 2>obviously extensively. There's no there's nothing, certainly not a criminal record,

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 2>but just coming.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Up, was he violent? Was he this so that they said.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>There was he was not a serial killer and the

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>signs were missed.

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 3>He was exactly and he was a drug abuser. I

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 3>believe he had a heroin addiction. He was in rehab

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 3>and he had some burglary, you know, he was stealing

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 3>phones and things like that to try and get money

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 3>to pay for drugs. But short of that, there was nothing.

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 3>And he was highly intelligent that was also very much

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 3>a part of the discovery into him and what perhaps

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 3>potentially made him tick. But he was highly intelligent, and

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 3>that's it. There isn't really a list of oh okay,

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 3>like you pointed out, they didn't miss anything. Even his

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 3>own parents I'm sure couldn't have imagined he was capable

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 3>of something like this, you know.

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 2>So I guess that's enough to talk about him, because

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>we did learn more about the victims as well.

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday.

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>This was very, very difficult to listen to, and it's difficult,

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 2>it'll be difficult for you to hear, but we're going

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>to go through some of the tributes, some of the

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>sweet moments that were said. Again, we had parents, friends,

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 2>surviving roommates, aunties, grandparents, all got up and were able

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>to say something. But it started with and the first

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>two we're gonna start with here robes the surviving housemates. Now,

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 2>these were the two who were left alive by Coburger,

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 2>and we don't know.

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Why, and they don't know why.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 2>They don't know. But one wasn't there. It was Bethany Funk.

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>She wasn't there, so somebody read a statement on her behalf.

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 3>She said, I hate and still hate that they are gone,

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 3>but for some reason, I am still here and I

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 3>got to live. I still think about this every day.

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Why me? Why did I get to live and not them?

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 3>For the longest time, I could not even look at

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 3>their families without feeling sick with guilt. And that might

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 3>explain why she wasn't in the courtroom.

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I didn't think about that yet. I didn't

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>hear anything about why she chose not to.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 3>It just might have been too hard.

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>It might have been You hear this oftentime where it's say,

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 2>like natural disasters or I mean a plane crash something

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 2>people have survivors guilt like why did those people die.

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't.

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine what this feels like. And to have

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.119
<v Speaker 2>no answers for why.

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 3>It's no no, And the other surviving housemaid who did

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>and who was there yesterday Dylan Morton's and she talked

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 3>about Brian, saying he's a hollow vessel, something less than human.

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 3>He tried to take everything from me, my friends, my safety,

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 3>my identity, my future. And we did hear a little

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 3>bit from some of this unsealed some of the unsealed

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 3>documents that these two I don't remember which one of

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 3>it was Dylan or Bethae. But they actually heard Kayley,

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 3>one of the girls who was killed, say I think

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 3>someone's in here, and they ran into their room and

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.959
<v Speaker 3>locked the door. Then they thought they heard someone sobbing.

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Then they thought they heard a man's voice speaking, and

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.840
<v Speaker 3>yet still they just they tried to call the phones

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 3>of their roommates, but they were too afraid to leave

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 3>their room.

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>All this we learned now. I mean, it was a

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 2>house of horrors that night, and so much we got

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 2>from the stuff that has been released describing the scene

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 2>that night.

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a whole horrific, horrific.

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 3>One of the victims was stabbed fifty times. One of

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 3>the other victims was stabbed thirty times, and to the

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.359
<v Speaker 3>point where they were unrecognizable. I mean, it's just it's disgusting.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 3>It's I can't imagine being in again the shoes of

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 3>those parents and getting those details. It's unthinkable. But we

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 3>also heard from so many family members. Mattie Mogan's stepfather,

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Scott talked about Mattie and saying this world was a

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 3>better place with her in it. He talked about her mom.

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 3>He said, Karen and I were ordinary people, but we

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.079
<v Speaker 3>lived extraordinary lives because of Mattie.

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was a really cool way to put it,

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 2>and to sum up your child. Yeah, I'm just I'm

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 2>nothing here, but man, she made me special. She made

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 2>my life special.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>That was a good way to put it. He he

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was one.

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 2>I think several people kind of alluded to this in

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 2>some way, that this person is insignificant and to be forgotten.

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 2>And Scott Laramie said, that's for the defendant. We will

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>not waste the words, nor will we nor will we

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 2>fall into the hatred and bitterness. Evil has many faces

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>and we now know this, but evil does not deserve

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>our time and attention. That was a lot of that,

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 2>and Mgen's grandmother got up as well, and this was

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>the one, a short sentence that was so powerful. The

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>foundation fell out of our world.

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>That makes so much sense. I mean she talked about

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 3>having now a stack of books on grief and having

0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 3>attended grief classes in therapy. I mean, you never get

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 3>over the death of a child ever, and now they're

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 3>having to deal with living without the people who, yes,

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 3>were their foundation. Madison Mogan's dad, and he talked about

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 3>his substance abuse. He talked about how she was the

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 3>reason why he lived while he fought to see another day,

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 3>why he worked so hard to to basically win his

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 3>battle against addiction. But he said she was the only

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 3>great thing I ever really did. Oh that makes me. Oh,

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 3>that chokes me up, and the only thing I was

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 3>ever really proud of.

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, guys, he's been through some things, you could tell,

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>and you can tell looking at that girl, like, Wow,

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>she came from love. She's a good kid. I got

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.559
<v Speaker 2>something right and that thing is gone from him now

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>that stuff comes through in some of these words. Now

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the next one here and help me.

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I keep messing up.

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 3>The last name Kaylee gun Salves and her family has

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 3>been very outspoken since the murders, and they have been

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 3>very outspoken about their displeasure about this deal that was

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 3>made to spare him from the death penalty, and they

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.959
<v Speaker 3>had been outspoken about not getting information. So I mean,

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 3>this is a family that is in the throes of grief.

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 3>But they're angry, and you could hear from the father, Steve,

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 3>the sister, and the mom all they are angry.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 2>And Steve, the dad, is the one who changed things

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 2>up in the courtroom. He changed the tone in the

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>courtroom when he rearranged some of the court room furniture.

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back, everyone to this edition of Amy and TJ,

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 3>where we are talking about the sentencing hearing for Brian

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:46.319
<v Speaker 3>Comberger and the grief and the anger that was in

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 3>that courtroom from the parents and the family members and

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 3>the people who loved those four victims who were senselessly

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 3>murdered by this thirty year old PhD student with zero reason,

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 3>zero explanation Z, zero connection to any of the victims.

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 3>But it was Kaylee. It was Kaylee Guncal Sorry, I

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 3>now I'm messing up her name, as well as Kaylee Gunsalvez,

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Kaylee Gonzalvez's father, who really created a moment. There were

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 3>many moments, but really created a moment.

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 2>You're supposed to I think people will remember this that

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I think I can't remember the judge did in this case.

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 2>But you're addressing the court. You're not supposed to be

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>directly addressing anybody else.

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:26.319
<v Speaker 1>In the court.

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>So the podium that they stand they speak at, is

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.719
<v Speaker 2>on the floor and directed towards the bench. Essentially the

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 2>jujudges Yeah, and Steve Gunsalves physically grabbed that podium and

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 2>turned it in the direction of the defendant Coburger, to

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 2>speak to him directly. Now Robes, the judge would have

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>been perfectly within his right to say, turn that back,

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>you address the court.

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to do that. Judge didn't stop them.

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm not upset about that.

0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Judge didn't stop.

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 3>And you know that was his moment. Everything had been

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.959
<v Speaker 3>taken from him, His power had been taken from him,

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 3>his beautiful daughter had been taken from him. Like give

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 3>him that that moment, and he did.

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>And after that there were a lot of moments that

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess involve more anger and direct speak if you

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>will to Coburger. But Kaylee's dad said this, nobody cares

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 2>about you. You're not worth the time, the effort to

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 2>be remembered. In time, you will be nothing but two

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 2>initials forgotten to the wind, no visitors, nothing more than

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>initials on an otherwise unmarked tombstone. And again from here

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 2>on now there, I guess after this it felt like

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 2>everybody else felt a.

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Little more in bolded.

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>They already had their statements ready, but after this the

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>tone was was very angry.

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Because Kaylee's sister and Kaylee's mom, this family is angry,

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 3>and so her sister said this to Brian, disappointments like

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 3>you thrive on pain, I won't feed your beast. Instead,

0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 3>I will call you what you are, sociopath, psychopath, murderer.

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 3>And she said, you want the truth, here's the one

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 3>you'll hate the most. If you hadn't attacked them in

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 3>their sleep in the middle of the night like a pedophile,

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Kaylee would have kicked your fucking ass. And the courtroom

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 3>actually applauded after she said that Kaylee's mom she had

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 3>something also just very I mean just you could just

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 3>feel her pain in these words. She said this to him.

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 3>When those prison doors slam shut behind you, I hope

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 3>that sound echoes in your heart for the rest of

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 3>your meaningless days. I hope it reminds you of what

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 3>we already know, your nothing. May you continue to live

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 3>your life in misery. But it's okay because they're to help.

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 3>They're there to help you. Hell will be waiting, and

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 3>she said, but it's okay because they're there to help you.

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 3>She actually took the words that one of the roommates

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 3>said she thought she heard him say to Kaylee to

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 3>her daughter, and so she used that same phrase against

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 3>him when she addressed him.

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, God, Mattiemgen's mom got up. I just want to

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 2>mention this because this is something again, a lot of

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 2>people can relate to. We don't keep this in mind enough.

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 2>She said, those who commit evil for their own twisted

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 2>gains and purposes truly defile the efforts and sacrifices of mothers, fathers, families, teachers, clergy,

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 2>public servants, service members, and all those who commit themselves.

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>To the greater good.

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 2>She was making a reference about the light, and she

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 2>put this together in such a way when you it's

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 2>not just a family, right, how many people in your

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 2>life right now are you coming up? This was a

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>team effort to get you through elementary school, high school, college,

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 2>whether that's aunts, whether that you can remember some pastor somewhere,

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>you can remember teacher somewhere. But she went through and

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>listed like you robbed not this fan, you robbed a

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 2>community that had invested in this girl. I thought that

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 2>was a great line from Karen Laramie as her name,

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>that's a Matti Mugen's mom.

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And she talked about Mattie's beauty. She said, both inside,

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 3>outside and in shown its light upon everyone with whom

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 3>she came in content, and she said, Maddie carried that

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.439
<v Speaker 3>hope and light into the future for our entire family.

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 3>And that's it's just it's gutting to think about the

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.959
<v Speaker 3>futures that will no longer happen. The future is that

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 3>investment that that community and her family put into her

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 3>just cut short.

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:23.360
<v Speaker 2>And the This one's tough of Xana Karnodle's dad. He's

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 2>going to be dealing with this with the rest of

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 2>his life, obviously losing his daughter.

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:28.639
<v Speaker 1>But he I didn't know this.

0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't heard the story before that she wasn't feeling

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>well that night and it actually called her dad, don't

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.920
<v Speaker 2>have the right end was considering I think he said

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.680
<v Speaker 2>only lived seven minutes away or seven miles either way,

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 2>He's very close, and he didn't go by. And she

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 2>was the one that encouraged.

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 3>Him not to because he had had a couple drinks,

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, and she didn't. Yeah, and so oh, I

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 3>mean that to know that you would have been there,

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 3>could have been there, should have been there, maybe even

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 3>and you could have stopped it. So Xana's dad said this,

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 3>I would have been sitting right there on that couch

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 3>and I regret that and I regret not going, But

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 3>the reason why I didn't is because she said, Dad,

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 3>don't be drinking and driving.

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>That's a tough one we had to hear in court yesterday.

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought this is interesting.

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Her aunt, Kim aunt also spoke and I'm and I'm

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 2>not sure if she was serious, and maybe she actually was.

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 2>She said to him, anytime you want to talk and

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 2>tell me what happened, get my number. I'm here, no judgment.

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll be the one who listens.

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Because what she suggesting, there were so many other family

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 2>members like I don't want to hear his voice. I

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 2>don't want to hear anything from him. Others are saying, yes,

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear It almost sounds like she was

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 2>volunteering to be the one who has to listen on

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 2>behalf of everybody.

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 3>It makes sense, though, like I don't think any I

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 3>don't know that any parent. I don't think I could

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 3>hear that directly, and I certainly wouldn't want to be

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 3>engaged in any kind of conversation with someone who had

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 3>done that to my daughter. But maybe if you're just

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 3>a little bit removed, you're an aunt, and you can

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.439
<v Speaker 3>take that for your sister or your brother and you

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 3>can bring That makes a lot of sense to me

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 3>that you can have just enough of a removal that

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.199
<v Speaker 3>you could process it, you could emotionally distance yourself from

0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 3>it enough to give that gift back to your family

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.000
<v Speaker 3>if there was something that could be explained, if there

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 3>was something, any nugget that could give them any peace

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 3>or any sort of closure.

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:25.119
<v Speaker 2>A couple more here from Xana's family here than a anerdle.

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying that correctly. Yes to hope.

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.399
<v Speaker 2>Dad was angry here and this is her Stepdad was

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 2>actually pointing at Coburg at the time when he was

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 2>saying this, but he said, there's no place for you

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 2>in heaven.

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>You took our children. You are going to suffer.

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 2>I am shaking because I want to reach out to you.

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Go to hell oof.

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you can't, like I can't imagine feeling anything

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 3>but wanting to cause harm to him, physical harm to him,

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.639
<v Speaker 3>emotional harm to him. And you could hear with some

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.160
<v Speaker 3>of the words that some family members were choosing. They

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.640
<v Speaker 3>wanted to try and give him as much pain as possible.

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.360
<v Speaker 3>And I understand that. I understand that Sana's mom said,

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 3>I pray before this life is over that you ask

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 3>our Lord and Savior in your heart to forgive you.

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 3>I do pray for that. But after today I wash

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 3>my hands of you, and you are no longer a thing.

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 2>It's been three years from them. That is very, very

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.440
<v Speaker 2>difficult to imagine that they will deal with the pain

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 2>of the loss of their child for a long time.

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>But to have to try to put out of your

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.639
<v Speaker 2>mind or forget about or put away this guy and

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:33.920
<v Speaker 2>your anger at this guy and what he took from

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you is ah, look, guy, Hart goes out to him

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 2>to pull that off. But what a day it was

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.720
<v Speaker 2>in court, and again the judge at times was described

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 2>by some as wiping away tears at times, and he

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.439
<v Speaker 2>as well had strong words for the defendant. Oftentimes judges

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.679
<v Speaker 2>do do this before, said they're fair during the trial,

0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:54.479
<v Speaker 2>and you know they call it as the referee. But

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>this was his chance to unload a little bit as well.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right. He said. The loss this killer inflicted

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 3>was not just the death of these people's children, siblings, grandchildren,

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 3>as we've heard today. It has ripped a hole in

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 3>their soul, destroying a special part of their very essence.

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 3>There is no reason for these crimes that could approach

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 3>anything resembling rationality. In my view, the time has now

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 3>come to end for mister Coburger's fifteen minutes of fame.

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.399
<v Speaker 3>It's time that he'd be consigned to the ignominy and

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 3>isolation of perpetual Incarceration's it.

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 1>It's over.

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Will we ever hear from him again? Maybe there'll be

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.359
<v Speaker 2>folks for years trying to get a jail house interview

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 2>or get him to write letters or some type of things.

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 2>We may hear from him again, and you know when

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>he does. If he does, man, that is going to

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 2>rip another new wound for these folks.

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it certainly is. And in terms of him not

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 3>speaking and so many people wanting to hear him say something,

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:55.640
<v Speaker 3>give some explanation, the prosecutor took the time to defend

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 3>their decision because they could have insisted that he gives

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 3>some reason or some sort of motive in exchange for

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 3>the plea deal that they made with him so that

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 3>he could avoid the death penalty. But this is what

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 3>the prosecutor said. He said, I don't believe there's anything

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 3>that would have come out of his mouth that would

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 3>be the truth. I don't believe there's anything that would

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 3>come out of his mouth that would be anything other

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 3>than self serving. And I don't believe there's anything that

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 3>would come out of his mouth that would not further

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 3>victimize the families. And so that just simply wasn't a factor.

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Kaylee Goun saw his father still after the sentencing hearing,

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 3>still was not okay with that, and he said the

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.679
<v Speaker 3>negotiation that meaning the deal was not justice, it was

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 3>a shortcut. We said from the very beginning, we're not

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:42.200
<v Speaker 3>interested in a short cut for our daughter. We wanted everything.

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 3>And I get that that's fair.

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:47.680
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, that's what they said they want. I actually

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know, and you can tell me if you've seen

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.640
<v Speaker 2>it somewhere if they consulted with like they don't give

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.399
<v Speaker 2>them the well, oftentimes yes, prosecutors do give the family

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a choice, would you.

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:56.919
<v Speaker 1>Like to do this or this.

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 3>I have seen actually a recent victim, specifically with Kaylee's father,

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 3>and they said they were shut out, kept in the

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 3>dark not only from the details of the crime to

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.639
<v Speaker 3>the information they had on Coburger, but also when it

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.199
<v Speaker 3>came to any negotiations that were being made, and they

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 3>were extremely upset about that.

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Also, one of the nuggets note from the court yesterday.

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Coburger's mom was in the courtroom and cried

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty consistently at a number of times when I think,

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 2>in particular, when one of the victims' family members got

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.119
<v Speaker 2>up and was talking about the shame he brought to

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the Coburger name, she was in tears. But she was

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 2>in tears during a lot of these statements. What she's

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 2>going through, what she's feeling, how people are directing maybe

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 2>anger towards her, don't know. But she sat in that

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 2>courtroom as a as a mama does. Right, doesn't a

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 2>mother always show up for the kid no matter what.

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 2>I know how horrific this is, but she is still

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 2>in there, maybe to show support or in some way

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 2>even for the victims.

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:57.479
<v Speaker 1>She showed up.

0:23:58.000 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 3>She showed up, and I do think. Look, I can

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.400
<v Speaker 3>only speak from my vantage point as a mom, though,

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 3>but the amount of guilt, the incredible guilt you would

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 3>carry with you for the rest of for life, thinking

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 3>what did I do wrong? What signs did I miss?

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.719
<v Speaker 3>How did I give birth to and raise a monster?

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Because there's no other word to use for this. He

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 3>is a monster.

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.239
<v Speaker 2>We got a lot of details that we're just not

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 2>going to get into here because it was a big

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>lift of the police report. The gag order was lifted,

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and some of the details about the scene

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 2>are just horrific what these kids went through, just.

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>How just how violent this was.

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there can be degrees to violence when it comes

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>to stabbing, this was overkill.

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Some of the things they describe here.

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 2>There'll be time and a place for all of that,

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 2>but we just wanted to hop on here and give

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 2>you some of the words and from the family members

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 2>who lost so much in a story we have all

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 2>kept an eye on for the past several years. This

0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.399
<v Speaker 2>is some level of closure for the family today.

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 3>It is some level of closure. And I've trying to

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.920
<v Speaker 3>think of any takeaway. You know, We've had to cover

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 3>so many of these awful stories. This is among the worst, though,

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 3>because I think because there is no explanation, there is

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 3>no rationality, there was no love triangle, there was no

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 3>nothing that you could say, Okay, that's what made him snap,

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 3>that's what that's why he did this, and so it

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 3>is so senseless and I think the only takeaway I

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 3>can take from this and this is how I've had

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 3>to kind of go through being a parent and also

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 3>covering these awful things is to say, hug your kids,

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 3>tell them you love them. So much is out of

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 3>our control. There's nothing anyone could have done to prevent

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 3>this from what we can see or tell, and so

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 3>all you can do is just make the most of

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 3>the time you do have with the people you love,

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 3>and to tell them you love them, and to spend

0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:46.159
<v Speaker 3>as much joyful time you can with one another, recognizing

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 3>that we never know what tomorrow brings, and there's so

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 3>many Most of these things that happen in the world

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 3>we can't prevent, we can't stop, and we can't anticipate.

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 3>All we can do is love each other.

0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>This one's different.

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 2>We've seen horrifics to and whether they say afterwards, well, yeah,

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 2>there was a sign here and a person saw this

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:06.919
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't report that. They didn't think it was

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. That's one thing that was not a

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 2>sign anybody ever suggested that was missed.

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>And ropes. They are still to.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Your all your points there about you never know when

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:20.720
<v Speaker 2>things are out of your control. They are still not

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>one single link they can find between Coburger and these

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 2>four victims that not a social media post, not a past,

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 2>each other in a coffee shop. Nothing, And that is

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:39.919
<v Speaker 2>difficult to think that just sometimes bad shit happens, like horrific,

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:43.680
<v Speaker 2>evil shit happens, really to these four, it just we

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 2>will We cannot get our heads around it. Bab can't

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 2>get mady. We can prepare for all kinds of stuff,

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 2>How do you prepare for maniac you've never heard from?

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Just come in and killing for no reason?

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:55.399
<v Speaker 3>You can't, you can't. All we can do. All we

0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 3>can do is hug each other, love each other, and

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.480
