What a shame. How on earth is he going to get another job now? Oh wait - that'll be taken care of for a long long time.Banfield is saying that Kohberger was fired from his TA position?

So he was terminated when he was in PA, not fired in person.Banfield is stating that he was terminated on December 19th. He had two confrontations with his professor, had been on an improvement plan and ultimately terminated. Fired over behavioral problems, that had started as early as October.
I think so, yes.One person’s DNA was on there. One person was driving a matching car, and had traveled to the scene multiple times. One person’s phone was off during the hours in question. One person was found thousands of miles away, spotted taking trash out in the dead of night, while wearing gloves, and dumping it in the neighbor’s trash can. One person scrubbed his car clean while the FBI watched.
I’m confident the DNA of multiple victims will be found in his car; you can’t get it all.
So much more is coming.
Sept 23rd was an 'altercation' with his professor
When I was in my 20s, I was living alone in a studio apartment on the UWS of Manhattan. Late one Tuesday night, around 11:30pm, my doorbell rang. When I answered via the intercom, there was a male voice that said, “UPS.” I knew it was most definitely *not* UPS. I stopped answering, but they kept buzzing my apartment only for close to 30 minutes. I should have called 911, but I called my dad, 50 miles away, who talked me down and very rationally said, “why are you calling me? You should be calling 911!”I know lots of people can't grasp why DM called friends before police, this case here in the UK with the headteacher killed by her husband, she rang her sister 7 minutes before she was shot. She never rang the police and she was obviously a grown adult. I think in a fear moment it's just impossible to act rationally that those who have the benefit of hindsight have
MOO the murder weapon, whether a Kabar, other fighting knife was transported to the house by the murderer, who used the knife, became separated from it accidentally and left it behind, and that is why his DNA is on it.we don’t know w complete certainty a Kabar was used. If the knife proves to be different this could be reasonable doubt. I do think the state will have much more evidence than what's been provided in the PCA.
Maybe. Maybe not. We only have the PCA so we can't know for sure.Well in reality it was just a white Elantra (without a readable license plate) that was in the area of the house... no proof it was BCK's Elantra. Nor does his phone put him "there"
Exactly. I imagine the hard drive will be damning too. I think the state is very confident and competent. I am worried about the potential for conflict of interest w the public defender tho.The state has 3000 more pages of evidence we have not seen.
imo from what's in the PCA its far from a slam dunk. LE admits his phone pinged when he wasn't around so thats reasonable doubt. Theres no murder weapon so the sheath alone could have been stolen or borrowed from someone else to frame BK. He could be in the area to jog. Theres reasonable doubt in the PCA but again I believe there will be 10k plus pages of discovery before it's all done. MOOIt puts him there months before, and the morning after. The car led them to him. So I couldn’t possibly disagree more.
If any of the social media connections and restaurant connections are true, this case is the definition of a slam dunk. I’d argue it already is.

December 19th makes sense as the date to officially document BK was terminated and would not go forward into the next term as a TA as it was the last day before the end of the Fall 2022 Academic term, JMO.Banfield is stating that he was terminated on December 19th. He had two confrontations with his professor, had been on an improvement plan and ultimately terminated. Fired over behavioral problems, that had started as early as October.
I used to read Vanity Fair all the time years ago. They've always featured true crime stories over the years as long reads and I always liked reading them. Dominick Dunne was also a writer at VF for years, his daughter was murdered and his focus was and crime writing at times IIRC.It's Vanity Fair. You're not going to get cold, neutral reporting out of them. They rarely breaks news. The demographic they cater to likely know very little to nothing about this case. This is par for the course for all of their long reads.
The average web sleuth poster is probably 1000000th on their list of the editors considerations.
As always, consider the source.

November 2 Meeting to discuss "improvement plan"
December 7 Meeting to discuss progress on "improvement plan"
December 9 Second altercation with professor
December 19 TA position officially terminated
Sounds like BK's cross country move to Washington wasn't panning out so well.According to Banfield, this is the "Alleged job termination timeline"
September 23 Altercation with WSU professor
October 3 Meeting to discuss "professional behavior"
October 21 Email to BK regarding "failure to meet expectations"
November 2 Meeting to discuss "improvement plan"
December 7 Meeting to discuss progress on "improvement plan"

I hope it was clear that I was NOT calling the MPD inept. But I also knew that 40 Los Angeles cops didn't instantly decide to frame a famous football player before they even knew whether he was in town at the time of the murders. And I knew that a Mark Furman "role playing" with a screenwriter meant nothing in terms of how he treated African Americans during his work on the force.I really don't put a lot of weight behind the early slip ups. No investigation goes perfectly and the bigger the crime, the more opportunity for slip ups. Plus, small towns are just not prepared for the glare of that much press. Plenty of big time professionals who really should know how to talk (or not talk) to the press blow it fairly often. Yes, the mayor is a city official, but he's not the police or the prosecutor. He should have kept quiet but, unfortunately, putting a microphone in a politician's face is like turning on the porch light for a moth. They just can't help themselves. But, to Moscow's credit, they realized where they were lacking and took steps to correct it. At least MOOoooo
