Thanks; what do you think of it?

@NoSpoonFeeding Thanks for the list
I guess most of those are not surprising; I only see one of the non-official names that I'm not familiar with. I'm surprised to see TK there, though.
The name I'm surprised to see is FBI agent Robertson.

MOO I can think of several things they can use TK for but nothing critical to the case because I don't see a bombshell of him actively testifying "against" KK.
He could establish KK's places of residence for the years involved, did he have internet service, get him to say he, TK, didn't do any of the image collecting, communicating and other mundane info. Things that would make it look like it just KK had the access to do what he did. Probably something else I haven't thought of.

I'm going to guess that, since she was in Delphi early on, it could be for when KK was discovered to be the catfisher AKA Anthony Shots. That is what led to the illegal images being found. edit to add
Someone has to testify as to how it came about that they investigated him because of his catfish account contact with a victim.

Just want to add, hopefully, the defense will soon release a witness list.

Who is she? Thanks in advance.
She was the FBI agent who wrote the RL search PCA. She seemed to be involved in the Delphi case from very early on, so I'm not overly surprised that she is listed, since we know KAK's a_shots was investigated. It will be interesting to see, though, if she was involved in KAK's CSAM investigation unrelated to Delphi, as well. I remember in KAK's PCA, it said the FBI called the ISP Cyber-Crime unit with the a_shots information. And that was VERY early, which has always made me curious if the FBI already had eyes on KAK for his CSAM activity prior to the murders, or when that came about.

Is it common for a news reporter to make the witness list in a case like this?
I’ve seen and heard her work on A&L’s case, but I am curious about what she’ll have to offer for KAK’s trial.

Also, thx 4 the heads up on the new MS episode, @TL4S. Now I’ll have something to listen to while I do chores in a little while. :)

She is only on the witness list because she interviewed KK. He admitted to her that he used the Anthony Shots "persona" to talk to girls but maybe he said something off-camera that we don't know about.
So much of that what was said in that interview is already proven, by evidence and his admissions, I don't know what they would need her for. Any mention of the Delphi case will be prohibited, if there is a jury they can't be allowed to connect the two cases.

Also, the witness list needs to have everyone that they could possibly/conceivably need, no matter how remote the chance they will actually testify, not just the witnesses central to the case.
MOO

I wonder if anything related to L will be included in the evidence against KAK in his CSAM case. We don't know how far things went in his catfishing her, so is she part of the CSAM evidence, or not? They don't have to connect it to her ultimate murder, except that a_shots already has been linked, on some level, because ISP asked for tips sent to the A &L tip line. A_shots was KAK, and a_shots is part of the CSAM case, so I don't know how they can keep Delphi out of KAK's CSAM case completely, unless there is absolutely no evidence used in court that includes anything to do with him catfishing L.

I don't mean to talk in circles. I'm legitimately curious and unsure how it will work in court.

would the state calling TK to testify muddy the waters for KK’s conviction? Could defense claim some or of the crimes were TK’s?

Remember when KAK told BMcD in the jailhouse interview that LE told him they knew his dad killed the girls? I mean, if the jury is going to see that interview as evidence, are they just supposed to ignore the Delphi bit? Will it be redacted? Will the prosecutor explain why LE said that (IF they did say it)? Will the prosecutor use that too prove what a liar KAK is? I honestly don't know how that will work in court. TK could be utilized as a witness in any number of ways, but how is the jury supposed to view him? Idk...

KK is not charged with anything to do with the Dephi victims so I'm assuming there was no chargeable crime committed when he had contact with anyone to do with that case.
For them to mention the murders or even the victims' names is something that will cause a mistrial. Together judge/prosecutor/defense will agree to the ground rules about what will be said in court and how to avoid any mention of the murders. The only crime I could see that even KK came close to committing is Synthetic Identity, which KK is charged with for some other dates. MOO

He has possession and exploitation charges, but as far as I understand, we don't know specifics on who the victims were. If KAK was in possession of CSAM images of L, through his a_shots persona catfishing, she would be an identifiable victim, and the fact that she was later murdered, even if unrelated, doesn't diminish her victimization by KAK. That's where I get confused about how that would be handled. I imagine she might be able to be part of the CSAM evidence without the murder entering the discussion. But at this point, we don't know what the nature of L's and a_shots conversions truly were. And honestly, I feel like her family would have been aware of this long ago if she was included in the evidence, so it's probably a moot point.

During the ISP interrogation, they thoroughly questioned KK about everything to do with Delphi and they never threw at him that he had CSAM of either of them. That would have been a big hammer.


I just looked at the interrogation transcript again, maybe they will use the report of the male looking in the window after a female gave "Anthony Shots" her address as the start of the investigation into that account. That would leave the murders completely out of it.

In the Fox59 video included in this article from yesterday, it said they were going to talk more about the witness list at 5pm. I haven't found any updated article. Did anyone happen to watch Fox59 news at 5pm last night?

Prosecution lists witnesses in case against suspect linked to Delphi murders investigation
In your link, AC from Murder Sheet is interviewed. Her quote below one of the things of interest since we haven't seen sentencing talked about a lot. Charging, sentencing and concurrent/consecutive crimes in IN remains a mystery to me.

At this point, KAK's charges appear to be all level 5 and 6 felonies; the F4 charges have been downgraded. Max for an F5 is 1-6 yrs with an advisory of 3 yrs.

The stiffest penalty Kline faces for conviction on one count in Miami County is a maximum of 12 years.

By the time he comes to trial, Kline will have waited 33 months behind bars and, if convicted of multiple charges, likely would face concurrent sentences with suspended time.

I have previously posted news articles about a number of similar cases, and pointed out that based on other convicted CSAM defendants, the penalties were not that severe and all of them pled out before trial. A couple of cases were much worse crimes.
It just doesn't make sense for KK to go through trial and risk a much longer sentence. I have suspected he is just spending as much time as possible in jail rather than prison.

One thing that is interesting to me is how back on 2/25/17, KAK said he thought he was "f'ed" and was basically going to go back to Vegas when his dad fell asleep. He also said that the woman officer (TrK - ISP) told him he needed to change his ways and delete his apps, which the MS suspects is why TrK is listed as a witness, to refute KAK's claim of her telling him to more or less destroy evidence. But that aside, if for days before the search, KAK thought he was "f'ed," why did he not delete his other devices? Obviously he could only delete the one he had in his possession after LE searched their house, but he did nothing to cover his tracks for his years of CSAM activity before the search, when he was already worried? Was he only worried about being a suspect in a double homicide, even if he wasn't involved, but because he had communicated with L? Was he not even thinking about his CSAM? In what way did he think he was "f'ed"? It's just a curiosity to me.
