Bryan Kohberger Was Interacting With Maddie's Instagram Account According To Kaylee's Parents
5/11/2025
In the initial hours after Bryan Kohberger's arrest, there was a frantic dash to try to find out as much information about him as possible. During that dash, those of us who were following along were able to get a glimpse of an instagram account that allegedly belonged to Bryan Kohberger. That same account was also following and interacting with Madison's account. A few hours later and that account was purged.
In this episode, we hear from the Goncalves family who also saw that account and not only saw it, but they took screenshots as well. With many questions surrounding the motive in this case and the connection between the victims and the alleged murderer still in the air, could this be the glue that binds Bryan Kohberger?

Prosecutors Want To Limit Bryan Kohberger's Alibi
5/11/2025
When a prosecutor seeks to limit the alibi of a suspect, it means they are attempting to challenge or restrict the evidence or testimony that supports the suspect's claim of innocence. An alibi is a defense strategy in which the accused asserts that they were somewhere else at the time the crime was committed, thus making it impossible for them to have committed the offense.Here's a breakdown of what it typically entails:
In this episode, we head back up to Idaho to check in on the Bryan Kohberger trial and the battle over his alibi that continues to rage inside of the courtroom.

Diddy And His Requests To Charge (Part 7) (5/11/25)
5/11/2025
In his charging requests submitted to the court, Sean “Diddy” Combs and his legal team are seeking to shape the jury instructions in a way that narrows the scope of the government’s accusations and emphasizes the burden of proof required for a conviction. Central to the requests is the insistence that jurors be explicitly instructed not to infer guilt based on Diddy's celebrity status, past lifestyle, or media portrayals. The defense wants the judge to highlight that fame and wealth are not indicators of criminality, and that allegations alone—no matter how salacious or repeated—do not amount to evidence. Furthermore, they ask that any references to other alleged “bad acts” not directly charged in the indictment be carefully limited to prevent undue prejudice.
The defense is also pushing for jury instructions that stress the presumption of innocence and the government’s obligation to prove each element of every charge beyond a reasonable doubt. They are particularly focused on the RICO charges, asking that the court clarify the complex nature of racketeering law and caution jurors not to convict based merely on association with others accused of wrongdoing. By parsing the instructions this way, Combs’ team is attempting to preemptively insulate him from the cumulative weight of the government’s broader narrative, which alleges years of systemic abuse, coercion, and criminal enterprise. Ultimately, these requests are a tactical maneuver to keep the trial tightly focused on the evidence at hand—and to limit the emotional or cultural weight the prosecution hopes to bring into the courtroom.

Mega Edition: Diddy And The All Out Blitz To Keep The Cassie Video Out Of Evidence (5/11/25)
5/11/2025
In the motion filed on April 17, 2025, Sean Combs' legal team seeks to exclude video evidence related to a March 5, 2016 incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. The defense argues that the CNN footage presented by the government is inadmissible due to alterations, manipulations, and being out of sequence. They assert that CNN paid for, copied, and presented the footage in unknown ways, ultimately destroying the original, rendering it inaccurate. Additionally, the defense challenges two iPhone videos, claiming they are re-recordings of surveillance footage that differ materially from the CNN compilation. The defense contends that these videos cannot be authenticated under Federal Rule of Evidence 901, violate the "Best Evidence" Rule (Rule 1002) due to the absence of original footage, and should be excluded under Rule 403 as their prejudicial impact outweighs any probative value.

Mega Edition: Diddy And His Opposition To Cassie Quashing The Subpoena (5/11/25)
5/11/2025
In a memorandum dated April 17, 2025, Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team opposed a motion to quash a subpoena directed at Cassie Ventura, a key accuser in his upcoming federal trial. The defense argued that the subpoena, which sought drafts of Ventura's memoir, personal diaries, journals, and bank statements, was justified under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(c). They contended that these materials could contain information pertinent to Combs' defense, asserting that the requests were specific, relevant, and not oppressive. The defense emphasized that the subpoena aimed to uncover evidence that might challenge Ventura's credibility or provide context to her allegations.
Furthermore, Combs' attorneys addressed concerns about the breadth of the subpoena, arguing that it did not constitute a "fishing expedition" but was a targeted effort to obtain materials directly related to the case. They maintained that the requested documents could reveal inconsistencies or motivations behind Ventura's claims, thereby playing a crucial role in ensuring a fair trial. The memorandum cited legal precedents supporting the admissibility of such evidence when it bears directly on the issues at hand. Ultimately, the defense sought to demonstrate that the subpoena was a legitimate tool for gathering evidence essential to Combs' defense strategy.

Murder In Moscow: A Recap Of The Bryan Kohberger Dateline Special (5/10/25)
5/10/2025
On May 9, 2025, NBC's Dateline aired a two-hour special titled "The Terrible Night on King Road," delving into the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students and the case against Bryan Kohberger. The episode presented previously unreleased evidence, including surveillance footage of a white Hyundai Elantra—matching Kohberger's vehicle—circling the victims' residence multiple times on the night of the murders. Additionally, cell phone data indicated that Kohberger's device connected to a tower near the crime scene 23 times in the months leading up to the incident. Investigators also uncovered disturbing online activity on Kohberger's devices, such as searches related to serial killer Ted Bundy and nonconsensual pornography, as well as images of female students in swimsuits linked to the victims or their acquaintances.
The special featured interviews with individuals who had interacted with Kohberger prior to the crimes. One former graduate student recounted a peculiar text message from Kohberger following a brief meeting at a pool party, describing the message as overly formal and unsettling. The program also included conversations with friends of the victims and experts in criminology and genetics, providing context and analysis of the case. As Kohberger awaits his trial, scheduled to begin in August 2025, the episode offered viewers a comprehensive overview of the investigation and the evidence amassed against him.
