I’m behind due to RL and still getting caught up on posts on this thread and last thread but wanted to comment after reading some of the Judge’s written orders on motions that dropped recently. Thank you
@wendy44 for keeping track, providing and updating motions’ list.
IMO with majority of Defense motions to suppress highly incriminating evidence DENIED, BK’s goose isn’t just cooked, it’s burnt to a proverbial crisp.
I opined in a previous post about how I’d love to be a fly on the wall when AT & Co. meet with BK to hear the type and tone of the conversations they’re having with him. Another place I’d love to be a fly is during conversations, if any, BK has had/is currently having with his parents. Iirc his Mother wrote an essay/article that mentioned infamous evil SK Ted Bundy and that she’s against the DP, so imo I’d think with her Son going to trial with all the incriminating evidence against him and especially now after learning his ASD can’t be used to strike the DP which she’s against, I’d imagine his Mom wouldn’t want him to risk going on trial and potentially facing the firing squad someday, and would be encouraging him to tell the truth accept responsibility and try to see if he can negotiate an 11th hour plea deal with the state to save his life (imo the state will not negotiate as the evidence against BK is solid/they have a strong case and appear confident they can secure conviction at trial).
Unless? his parents believe he didn’t perpetrate the crime which if so, they’d have to ignore a bunch of facts and a boatload of damning evidence pointing at BK’s guilt and must think he’s the unluckiest man on earth being framed by the ‘real killer’ and railroaded by numerous agencies of LE and the state of Idaho. Having said that, I realize how powerful denial can be and my gosh what parent wants to believe their offspring is an evil quadruple mass murderer.
IMO BK likely doesn’t care what his parents think nor is it likely that he’d consider or heed their advice if they’re encouraging him to tell the truth/come clean. Rigid thinking BK doesn’t cooperate or heed anyone’s advice as he thinks he’s the smartest person in any room.
IMO BK wants to go to trial as he’s sure he’ll be able to beat the system. IMO this is a game to him that he thinks he can win. But before it turned into a game, I think it started out as a pet project so to speak for BK. From the start with all the prep/planning, then putting the plan in action aka perpetrating the crime, after which I believe he didn’t think he would get caught (I’d give him an “F” aka major Fail for dropping/forgetting/leaving behind the knife sheath, and for all the other stupid mistakes he made- hello! oh-oh-oh digital forensics, gotcha!!), to where he sits now approaching trial/the end of the game that he still thinks he can win and is loving all the attention he’s receiving.
As far as his adoring fans/groupies, this phenomenon has been around for decades and there’s now a name for it called Hybristophilia.
IMO these groupies/fans of killers are lonely, desperate, deluded, possibly mentally ill people with zero self esteem. From Manson and Bundy to name a couple from back in the day, to Mangione and Kohberger present day, and scores of other murderers in between had/have adoring fans.
It’s as wacky as it is sickening.
I feel very bad for BK’s parents,
I’m sure they love their Son and always will no matter what happens, he’s their child after all. The struggle is real doesn’t even begin to describe what they’re likely going through. My heart goes out to them and his two sisters. At least their Son and Brother is still alive, they can talk to and visit him.
At the same time, there are 4 sets of parents whose daughters’ and Son are no longer alive/they’ll never see again. As a parent, the thought of never seeing my child again is unfathomable, unbearable to even think about. My heart aches for them and their respective families to have their beloved children and family member taken from them so violently while they were just living their best lives in college, on the cusp of adulthood with their whole lives ahead of them, brutally murdered in their safe space. A place they should’ve felt most safe and likely did until an evil coward came in, ambushed and butchered them to death. Literally the stuff of nightmares, a parent’s worse nightmare for sure.
IMO BK not only took 4 precious lives, he ruined the lives of 5 sets of parents and their families (includes his own), and the collateral damage he caused extends to the two surviving roommates, their families, the friends of all of the victims, and a whole community left reeling/devastated by this horrendous crime. It’s hard to put into words or describe the extent of the trauma and devastation caused by the evil actions of an evil, selfish, homicidal maniac.
If the case goes to trial court as scheduled in August and I believe that it will, this Judge seems to wants to keep trial on track, BK will be protected by the 6th Amendment of the constitution, presumed innocent and will receive due process. His D attorneys will have a tough job trying to poke holes in the state’s case/raise reasonable doubt considering all the incriminating evidence the state has against BK (imo there’s more we don’t even know about yet), and the P will be bringing their A-team to represent the state of Idaho to prove BK’s guilt BARD to a jury of his peers to ensure the voices of the four precious victims are heard and their killer is held accountable.
Which reminds me of a quote by novelist Lois McMaster Bujold-
“the dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.”
Kaylee, Maddie, Xana and Ethan,
there are thousands of people from all over the world supporting and crying out for justice for all four of you. Hang on a little longer precious souls, for it’s almost here.
Looking forward to justice being served soon so that you can all finally rest in peace. xo
IMHOO
