• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of Idaho, asserting they were blindsided by an email announcing
• 5:29

  Speaker 2: grit ruling and emotionally draining trial. Prosecutors, led by Bill Thompson,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: defended the plea as a strategic move to secure convictions
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and spare the victim's families the agonizing toll of a
• 6:13

• 6:17
  Speaker 2: robust case, including critical evidence such as Coburger's DNA found

• 7:06
  Speaker 2: sentencing option, and allow the defense to present alternate perpetrators,
