WSU students: Kohberger spoke up in class — except when Moscow killings were the topic
In his Washington State Ph.D. program in criminology, suspect Bryan Kohberger showed himself to be academic minded, and condescending to women, classmates said.

During class, Kohberger, 28, appeared academic minded and didn’t shy away from speaking up, including challenging his classmates, said Roberts, and another master’s degree student who the Statesman granted anonymity to answer emailed questions.
Kohberger’s enthusiasm for his area of study — understanding the criminal mind — was regularly on display, they said.
“Bryan only talked about his interest in forensic psychology,” the master’s student told the Statesman. “He was an incredibly strong student and talked during class every time.”
“He sat front and center, and was not hiding or tucking back in the back,” Roberts added. “He was right there in the middle of it.”
As a result, Kohberger’s non-participation in a lengthy conversation about the Moscow homicides stands out in retrospect, said the master’s student. The person said they had four classes with the man now sitting in the Latah County Jail, including a courts and legal process class where the killings were discussed before the semester ended the week of Dec. 12.
“He was completely silent,” Kohberger’s classmate said.
