- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Coburger Brian Coburger guilty and
- 0:11Speaker 1: sentenced life plus life plus life plus life. That's four
- 0:17Speaker 1: life sentences plus ten. Is it justice? I'm Nancy Grace.
- 0:24Speaker 1: This is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for
- 0:26Speaker 1: being with us in the last hours. Convicted quadruple killer
- 0:32Speaker 1: Brian Coburger in a court of law and now sentenced.
- 0:38Speaker 1: The families of the four victims filing out of that courtroom.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Many people call it closure. Let me inform you there
- 0:47Speaker 1: is no such thing as closure when the person you
- 0:52Speaker 1: love the most is murdered. Let's take a listen to
- 0:57Speaker 1: Judge Hippler on the bench.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I am not able to come up with anything redeeming
- 1:02Speaker 2: about mister Coburger because his grotesque acts of evil have
- 1:06Speaker 2: buried in hidden anything that might have been good or
- 1:09Speaker 2: prinsically human about him. His actions have made him the
- 1:14Speaker 2: worst of the worst. Even impleading guilty is giving nothing
- 1:19Speaker 2: hinting of remorse or redemption, nothing suggesting even a recognition
- 1:24Speaker 2: or understanding, let alone regret for the pain that he
- 1:28Speaker 2: has caused. And therefore I will not attempt to speak
- 1:32Speaker 2: about him further other than to simply sentence him. So
- 1:36Speaker 2: that he is forever removed from civilized society.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Himpler tees it up. Then he brings down the hammer. Listen.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Recognizing the standards that govern this Court's sentencing decisions as
- 1:47Speaker 2: set forth in state be two Hill, I hereby sentence
- 1:50Speaker 2: mister Coburger as follows on count one burglary ten years fixed,
- 1:58Speaker 2: zero years indeterminate. I also impose a fine of fifty
- 2:02Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Count two, first degree murder of Madison Mogen I,
- 2:08Speaker 2: sentence the defendant to a fixed term of life imprisonment
- 2:12Speaker 2: without the possibility of parole, a fine of fifty thousand
- 2:15Speaker 2: dollars and a civil penalty of five thousand dollars payable
- 2:19Speaker 2: to the family of the victim. On count three, for
- 2:24Speaker 2: first degree murder of Kaylei gonsalvs I, sentence the defendant
- 2:27Speaker 2: to a fixed term of life imprisonment without the possibility
- 2:30Speaker 2: of parole, a fine of fifty thousand dollars and a
- 2:34Speaker 2: civil penalty of five thousand dollars payable to the victim
- 2:37Speaker 2: of the family or to the family of the victim.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Pardon me.
- 2:41Speaker 2: On count four for the first degree murder of Santa
- 2:45Speaker 2: Kernodle I sentence the defendant to a fixed term of
- 2:47Speaker 2: life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, a fine of
- 2:51Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars and a civil penalty of five thousand
- 2:54Speaker 2: dollars payable to the family of the victim. On count five,
- 2:59Speaker 2: for the first degree murder of Ethan Chapin, I sentenced
- 3:02Speaker 2: the defendant to a fixed term of life imprisonment without
- 3:05Speaker 2: the possibility of parole, a fine of fifty thousand dollars
- 3:08Speaker 2: and a civil penalty of five thousand dollars payable to
- 3:11Speaker 2: the family of the victim. The sentences on counts one, two, three, four,
- 3:17Speaker 2: and five shall run consecutively to one another. I remand
- 3:20Speaker 2: the defendant to the custody of the Otto State Board
- 3:22Speaker 2: of Corrections for to be imprisoned and an appropriate facility
- 3:26Speaker 2: and execution of the sentence, where he will remain until
- 3:29Speaker 2: he dies.
- 3:30Speaker 1: You've heard from many outlets that the defendant, Brian Coberg,
- 3:33Speaker 1: will be sentenced to life behind bars. That is not correct.
- 3:38Speaker 1: This is life without the possibility of parole. And for
- 3:42Speaker 1: good measure, Hippler, who have got to give a lot
- 3:45Speaker 1: of credit an amazing judge on the banch throughout this ordeal.
- 3:51Speaker 1: For added good measure. He ran the life without Possibility
- 3:56Speaker 1: of parole consecutively, which means that when you finished one sentence,
- 4:02Speaker 1: that's when the next sentence starts. A lot of judges
- 4:05Speaker 1: sentence concurrently, where one life sentence runs at the same
- 4:09Speaker 1: time as the next one, which gives a lot of
- 4:12Speaker 1: leeway for a defendant to get out from behind bars.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen it over and over again where
- 4:19Speaker 1: the laws change or circumstances change, and somehow a defendant
- 4:24Speaker 1: sentence to life actually walks free. Yes, It's happened quite often.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Charles Manson, perfect example, Charles Manson gets sentenced to a
- 4:34Speaker 1: very stiff sentence and that would be the DP and
- 4:37Speaker 1: then in that jurisdiction California is determined the DPE death
- 4:41Speaker 1: penalty is unconstitutional, so his sentence was changed, setting Charles
- 4:47Speaker 1: Manson up for parole. Yes, in this case, Hippler, God
- 4:56Speaker 1: bless him, sentences Coburger to life without parole, then life
- 5:01Speaker 1: without parole, and two more times to run consecutively. I've
- 5:05Speaker 1: got an all star panel, but I want to go
- 5:07Speaker 1: straight to Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University,
- 5:12Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My feet on Amazon. Host of
- 5:15Speaker 1: a star podcast Body Bags with Joe Scott Morgan Joe Scott,
- 5:21Speaker 1: even though he's been sentenced to ELWOP life without parole.
- 5:27Speaker 1: At the end of that hearing today, just an hour ago,
- 5:33Speaker 1: I felt empty. I felt empty. You out of this
- 5:37Speaker 1: panel have seen so many death scenes as of I
- 5:43Speaker 1: Why the empty feeling, Jo Scott. It doesn't feel like justice.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Because there's no way Nancy to replace these precious souls.
- 5:53Speaker 4: There will always be an empty chair at every Thanksgiving table,
- 5:57Speaker 4: at every Christmas table. This is That's what makes this
- 6:01Speaker 4: so unsatisfying. You cannot replace those kids, period into paragraph.
- 6:08Speaker 4: That's what makes it so unsatisfying as far as I'm concerned.
- 6:11Speaker 1: You know, Joe Scott, you like me, have children, and
- 6:16Speaker 1: I think about, like, right now, I'm already planning the birthday,
- 6:20Speaker 1: What am I going to do? What am I going
- 6:21Speaker 1: to do for Christmas? And it spins out and in
- 6:24Speaker 1: my mind it's this endless path of my family and
- 6:28Speaker 1: me my husband with them, what do they have? All
- 6:33Speaker 1: they had was today The answers have been taken away
- 6:38Speaker 1: from them because there was no trial. We're getting bits
- 6:41Speaker 1: and pieces of information now that just make me sick,
- 6:44Speaker 1: sick to think that his motive was his sick pervy fetishes,
- 6:50Speaker 1: that he wanted to rape women that were passed out.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I mean, we're learning so much more. We're learning that
- 6:55Speaker 1: the defense was going to be blaming some of the
- 6:58Speaker 1: victim's friends. That was the defense. We're finding out that
- 7:03Speaker 1: his car was absolutely identified in the area, tagging everything
- 7:09Speaker 1: multiple times that night. There's even an eyewitness that identifies
- 7:14Speaker 1: him at the home the night of the murders. This
- 7:18Speaker 1: case would have been a death penalty in the end.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I don't know if that even that would have satisfied
- 7:27Speaker 1: a desire for justice. Here, we've got the future to
- 7:30Speaker 1: look forward to. They've got nothing except today when they
- 7:34Speaker 1: gave those victim impact statements. Joe Scott, that's all they've got.
- 7:37Speaker 4: No, You're absolutely right, And look, I got to tell
- 7:39Speaker 4: you thank you for making the comment about the word closure.
- 7:42Speaker 4: It's one of the biggest lives that's ever been sold
- 7:44Speaker 4: to people that are going through grief. You do, you
- 7:47Speaker 4: do not, on any level achieve closure. It's very dissatisfying,
- 7:53Speaker 4: you know. And I've dealt with so many families over
- 7:56Speaker 4: the years, Nancy that still call me. You know, they
- 7:58Speaker 4: would call me seven years after the fact, after they
- 8:02Speaker 4: had lost a loved one, many of them drunk. Can
- 8:05Speaker 4: you imagine that in the middle of the night, I'd
- 8:07Speaker 4: still be on duty at the m's office, just wanting
- 8:09Speaker 4: to have somebody to talk to because no one else understood.
- 8:13Speaker 4: And I can't say that I could even plumb the
- 8:15Speaker 4: depths of it, but I was at the scene and
- 8:17Speaker 4: I talked to them, and that's that one point of
- 8:19Speaker 4: contact that they have Nancy over the years. And you
- 8:23Speaker 4: never stop missing the person, you never have closure. You
- 8:27Speaker 4: know why, because this guy, this convicted five time felon
- 8:32Speaker 4: now is still breathing air and their kids are not
- 8:37Speaker 4: He sentenced, not just he's sentenced these families. Please hear
- 8:41Speaker 4: me right on this. He sentenced these families to life
- 8:46Speaker 4: imprisonment along with him. They had no choice in this matter.
- 8:50Speaker 4: They are all that remains. They have been sentenced as well.
- 8:53Speaker 1: The victims in this case who are brutally murdered. From
- 8:57Speaker 1: the beginning, we were told they were murdered in their sleep.
- 9:00Speaker 1: That's not true. That is not true. Joining me, Susan Hendrix,
- 9:06Speaker 1: you know her well, She's been with us all day
- 9:09Speaker 1: long outside the courthouse. She's the author of Down the Hill,
- 9:13Speaker 1: My Descend into the double murder in Delphi, and now
- 9:16Speaker 1: she has latched onto this case like nobody's business. I
- 9:20Speaker 1: want to welcome Susan Hendricks for being with us. Susan,
- 9:23Speaker 1: we found out now that Xana had come down the
- 9:29Speaker 1: stairs and she fought for her life. She fought for
- 9:33Speaker 1: her life. That's nothing like what we were told to
- 9:37Speaker 1: start with.
- 9:38Speaker 5: Absolutely, and when new details come out, they're just more
- 9:41Speaker 5: excruciating for the family. We have heard that maybe she
- 9:45Speaker 5: saw something, heard something was getting of course the door
- 9:48Speaker 5: dash as you know, and then maybe he chased her
- 9:52Speaker 5: you mentioned, And I thought this was key, that this
- 9:54Speaker 5: is all they had.
- 9:55Speaker 6: Was today.
- 9:55Speaker 5: I was in the courtroom and I could see it,
- 9:57Speaker 5: Nancy building the tension, Kelly's his knee was shaking. He
- 10:01Speaker 5: was to the right of me and his knee was shaking,
- 10:03Speaker 5: and I could tell he was going through what he
- 10:05Speaker 5: was going to say. So he's almost like practicing. And
- 10:08Speaker 5: it's all they had, and they gave it everything they've
- 10:11Speaker 5: been wanting to say this for so long, everything that
- 10:14Speaker 5: they wanted to say. And I will say there was
- 10:16Speaker 5: a ten minute break in between and I looked at
- 10:19Speaker 5: Kelly's dad, and I said, you did a great job
- 10:21Speaker 5: in Kelly's sister and they said thank you and they
- 10:23Speaker 5: were smiling.
- 10:24Speaker 6: I feel like it's so healing to get that out.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I disagree, Susan, I disagree. I'll
- 10:32Speaker 1: tell you why. I hadn't had this memory for a decade,
- 10:38Speaker 1: two decades, But as we were hearing about Dylan Mortenson
- 10:44Speaker 1: stating that she had to go and sleep in her
- 10:51Speaker 1: mother's bed for so long after this, I remember sleeping
- 10:58Speaker 1: with my mother and my father in their little bed
- 11:02Speaker 1: after my fiance's murder. Those memories, like Joe Scott was saying,
- 11:08Speaker 1: they never go away and they come back at the
- 11:13Speaker 1: most improbable moments. So all this about healing and coclosure
- 11:19Speaker 1: and no closure, there's no such thing. And I really
- 11:22Speaker 1: resent people that have never been through it talk about
- 11:25Speaker 1: how all the victims' families are healed because they spoke
- 11:28Speaker 1: for five minutes in a courtroom. But I can tell
- 11:31Speaker 1: you one thing that happened in this hearing, and I
- 11:33Speaker 1: know you saw it. Tuesdays and Hendricks Killey Gounsovus's sister
- 11:39Speaker 1: let him have it. She said a lot of what
- 11:44Speaker 1: we all wanted to say to coburger. Listen.
- 11:46Speaker 7: My name is Olivia, and I'm the big sister of
- 11:49Speaker 7: Keilly Gonsalvez, and I was blessed to love Madison Mogan
- 11:52Speaker 7: as a sister too. I'm not here today to speak
- 11:55Speaker 7: in grief. I'm here to speak in truth because the
- 11:58Speaker 7: truth is, my sister Kayley and her best friend Mattie
- 12:01Speaker 7: were not yours to take. They were not yours to study,
- 12:06Speaker 7: to stalk, or to silence. They were two pieces of
- 12:11Speaker 7: a whole, the perfect yin and yang. They are everything
- 12:14Speaker 7: that you could never be loved, accepted, vibrant, accomplished, brave
- 12:22Speaker 7: and powerful. Because the truth about Kayley and Maddy, they
- 12:26Speaker 7: would have been kind to you if you would approach
- 12:29Speaker 7: them in their everyday lives. They would have given you directions,
- 12:33Speaker 7: thanked you for the compliment, or awkwardly giggled to make
- 12:37Speaker 7: your own words less uncomfortable for you in a world
- 12:42Speaker 7: that rejected you. They would have shown mercy. Because the
- 12:47Speaker 7: truth is, I'm angry. Every day I'm angry. I'm left
- 12:54Speaker 7: shouting at the inside of my own head. Everything I
- 12:58Speaker 7: wish I could say to you. The truth about me
- 13:03Speaker 7: is when I heard the news, I didn't cry I
- 13:06Speaker 7: listened for them. I promised them I would that I
- 13:10Speaker 7: would fight for them, that I would show up no
- 13:13Speaker 7: matter what it cost me.
- 13:15Speaker 1: That's Olivia Gonsalva said. She starts off talking about her sister,
- 13:20Speaker 1: then she lays in to Coburger.
- 13:23Speaker 7: I won't stand here and give you what you want.
- 13:25Speaker 7: I won't offer you tears, I won't offer you trembling
- 13:29Speaker 7: disappointments like you thrive on pain, on fear, and on
- 13:32Speaker 7: the illusion of power, And I won't feed your beast. Instead,
- 13:40Speaker 7: I will call you what you are, sociopath, psychopath, murderer.
- 13:47Speaker 7: I will ask the questions that reverberate violently in my
- 13:51Speaker 7: own head, so loudly that I can't think straight most
- 13:56Speaker 7: any day. Some of these might be familiar, So set
- 13:59Speaker 7: up straight.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I talk to you.
- 14:02Speaker 7: How is your life right before you murdered my sisters?
- 14:07Speaker 7: Did you prepare for the crime before leaving your apartment?
- 14:10Speaker 7: Please detail what you were thinking and feeling at this time.
- 14:15Speaker 7: Why did you choose my sisters before making your move?
- 14:21Speaker 7: Did you approach my sisters? Detail what you were thinking
- 14:24Speaker 7: and feeling before leaving their home? Is there anything else
- 14:28Speaker 7: you did?
- 14:30Speaker 2: Yes?
- 14:30Speaker 7: How does it feel to know the only thing you
- 14:33Speaker 7: failed more miserably at than being a murderer is trying.
- 14:37Speaker 1: To be a rapper?
- 14:39Speaker 7: Did you recently start shaving or manually pulling out your eyebrows?
- 14:45Speaker 2: Why?
- 14:45Speaker 7: November thirteenth, did you truly think your Amazon purchase was
- 14:51Speaker 7: untraceable because you used a gift card? How do you
- 14:55Speaker 7: find it enjoyable to stargaze with such a severe case
- 14:58Speaker 7: of visual snow? Where is the murder weapon? The clothes
- 15:04Speaker 7: you wore that night? What did you bring into the
- 15:08Speaker 7: house with you? What was the second weapon you used
- 15:12Speaker 7: on Keyley? What were Kaylee's last words?
- 15:17Speaker 1: Joining me right now is a special guest, Cheryl McCollum.
- 15:20Speaker 1: She's a forensic expert. She is the founder and director
- 15:24Speaker 1: of the Cold Case Research Institute, and she's the star
- 15:27Speaker 1: of a hit podcast, Zone seven. Cheryl McCollum is joining
- 15:33Speaker 1: us from the field now. Cheryl McCollum. I don't know
- 15:36Speaker 1: if anybody else caught this. I bet you did. You're
- 15:39Speaker 1: hearing Liva go Solvice as Keille Goslves as sister, and
- 15:43Speaker 1: she's reading right out of the questionnaire the Coburger gave
- 15:52Speaker 1: to all those violent felons as part of his pH
- 15:55Speaker 1: d study did you hear did you prepare? How was
- 15:58Speaker 1: your life right before you murdered my sisters before leaving
- 16:03Speaker 1: your apartment? Detail what you were thinking and feeling at
- 16:06Speaker 1: the time. Why did you choose this victim before you
- 16:10Speaker 1: made your move? Did you approach the victim? Detail what
- 16:14Speaker 1: you were thinking and feeling before leaving your home? Is
- 16:17Speaker 1: there anything else you did? She is knifing him with
- 16:21Speaker 1: his own words, Cheryl McCollum.
- 16:25Speaker 2: It was brilliant.
- 16:27Speaker 8: It was so unbelievably delivered. You're talking about a young
- 16:34Speaker 8: woman that is staring down the monster that killed her sister,
- 16:38Speaker 8: and she said, you will get no tears from me.
- 16:41Speaker 8: You are not going to see me shaking my boots
- 16:44Speaker 8: looking at you. And then when she delivered his own
- 16:47Speaker 8: words back to him, it was like nothing I've ever seen, Naki,
- 16:52Speaker 8: You and I have seen thousands of these. Normally it's
- 16:55Speaker 8: only about the victim when she turned it on him.
- 17:00Speaker 8: Are not just questions he had, but I think they're
- 17:03Speaker 8: valid to what the family deserves to know.
- 17:06Speaker 1: And Cheryl, everyone keeps talking about, well, he showed no emotion, Cheryl,
- 17:12Speaker 1: I never have, but I've seen people have pet lizards
- 17:15Speaker 1: or sometimes maybe an iguana, but let me just go
- 17:17Speaker 1: with lizard. It doesn't show emotion. It's called blooded. It's
- 17:23Speaker 1: a reptile. Throughout the entire sentencing, Coburger sat there and
- 17:29Speaker 1: showed no emotion. What did everybody think was going to happen?
- 17:34Speaker 1: That he'd start crying and beg forgiveness and say he
- 17:37Speaker 1: was sorry and tell us the truth. No, in fact,
- 17:40Speaker 1: anything he says with this point on is a lie,
- 17:44Speaker 1: and it's only for his self gratification or for he
- 17:48Speaker 1: has aggrandizement. Of course, he didn't even I don't even
- 17:52Speaker 1: know if I saw him blink.
- 17:53Speaker 8: Cheryl, You're absolutely right, And I think that's another reason
- 17:57Speaker 8: when they addressed him about what he did, he did
- 18:01Speaker 8: not give them anything that he could get enjoyment from.
- 18:06Speaker 8: He didn't get that sadness, that gut wrenching. I caused
- 18:10Speaker 8: this chaos, I caused this heartache. They took that away
- 18:13Speaker 8: from them. I thought her words were not just brilliant,
- 18:17Speaker 8: but spot on, and it might have just set the
- 18:20Speaker 8: bar for everybody coming behind her.
- 18:23Speaker 1: You know, cherylmccall, I'm going to ask you a personal question.
- 18:25Speaker 1: In all the years i've known you, all the years
- 18:27Speaker 1: we've worked together, I've never asked you, have you ever
- 18:31Speaker 1: listened to testimony or in this case, a sentencing hearing
- 18:35Speaker 1: and get physically nauseous because I actually got sick to
- 18:40Speaker 1: my stomach listening to all this and hearing what these victims'
- 18:45Speaker 1: families lived through in the ordeal that they're still going through.
- 18:50Speaker 1: It was like the worst flashback I've had in years.
- 18:54Speaker 8: You know, I certainly.
- 18:57Speaker 9: Often, you know, would find myself just choking up, like
- 19:01Speaker 9: getting really emotional and crime because you can't hear it
- 19:06Speaker 9: as a sister, as a daughter, Now, especially.
- 19:09Speaker 8: As a mother, I can tell you I could stay
- 19:12Speaker 8: pretty good in control prior to having hunting Caroline. After that,
- 19:19Speaker 8: I'm much more sensitive. I'm much more apt to just
- 19:23Speaker 8: try to imagine the unthinkable, the just. There's no way
- 19:29Speaker 8: to put into words. You and I have talked about it, Nancy.
- 19:32Speaker 8: You and I have sat with more than one victim
- 19:35Speaker 8: and tried to help them craft their victim impact statement.
- 19:38Speaker 8: How do you put it into words what your child
- 19:43Speaker 8: means to you? It's impossible. But these families did a
- 19:47Speaker 8: remarkable job today, There's no doubt about it.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Okay, Can we all agree that the families were remarkable?
- 19:54Speaker 1: Every speaker in their own way was remarkable, but is
- 19:57Speaker 1: their justice? Will we ever know what happened? We may
- 20:03Speaker 1: never know a motive, We may never know how this
- 20:07Speaker 1: thing went down. And I've got to tell you there's
- 20:12Speaker 1: always questions and they never go away. For the rest
- 20:17Speaker 1: of the victims family's life. They're going to wonder, well,
- 20:20Speaker 1: wait a minute, did she see who attacked her? Did
- 20:23Speaker 1: she have any idea? Had they ever met, did they
- 20:26Speaker 1: fight back?
- 20:26Speaker 2: What happened?
- 20:27Speaker 1: And those are questions not everybody wants to know the
- 20:30Speaker 1: answer to, but a lot of victims' families want to
- 20:33Speaker 1: know what happened in the last moments of their child's life.
- 20:40Speaker 1: You know, we read in news releases and obituaries X
- 20:45Speaker 1: died with their family around them. It wasn't like this
- 20:50Speaker 1: for the Idaho victims. They died at the hands of
- 20:55Speaker 1: Brian Koberger, who slaughtered them. And now we got to
- 21:00Speaker 1: give him three hats at a cot for the rest
- 21:04Speaker 1: of his life. Now, I do appreciate what Judge Hipler did.
- 21:09Speaker 1: I've got nothing bad to say about Hipler. Listen to
- 21:13Speaker 1: how he described that morning of November thirteen.
- 21:18Speaker 2: During the quiet morning hours of November thirteen, twenty twenty two,
- 21:24Speaker 2: a faceless coward reached the tranquility of six beautiful young
- 21:28Speaker 2: people and senselessly slaughtered them. Four of them. Who committed
- 21:39Speaker 2: this unspeakable evil was unknown for several weeks, but due
- 21:44Speaker 2: to the killers in competence and outstanding police work by
- 21:47Speaker 2: numerous local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, the person
- 21:53Speaker 2: that slithered through that sliding glass door at one one
- 21:55Speaker 2: two two King Road now stands before the world, and
- 21:59Speaker 2: this court unmasked. This unfathomable and senseless act of evil
- 22:06Speaker 2: has caused immeasurable pain and loss. No parent should ever
- 22:13Speaker 2: have to bury their child. This is the greatest tragedy
- 22:19Speaker 2: that can be inflicted upon a person. Parents who took
- 22:25Speaker 2: their children to college in a truck filled with moving
- 22:29Speaker 2: boxes had to bring them home in hearses lined.
- 22:32Speaker 10: With collins.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Are.
- 22:37Speaker 11: One of the roommates has passed out.
- 22:40Speaker 8: And he a strong class and the up did you?
- 22:43Speaker 2: On November thirteenth, twenty twenty two, in Leayta County, State
- 22:48Speaker 2: of Idaho, kill and murder Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonzalvez, Xana
- 22:53Speaker 2: kernodle Ethan chapin Yes Oh.
- 22:56Speaker 12: And they saw some man of their house that was Brian.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Kiberger gets life plus life plus Life plus Life plus
- 23:04Speaker 1: ten consecutively, one after the other, Life without parole, Will
- 23:11Speaker 1: there ever truly be justice? We got to pay for
- 23:17Speaker 1: three hots and a cot for this guy. We've got
- 23:20Speaker 1: to pay for his therapy and his iPad and his
- 23:24Speaker 1: vegan meals, and one day we're gonna have to pay
- 23:28Speaker 1: for his internet connection so he can zoom with people
- 23:32Speaker 1: to describe his side of the story and help coauthor
- 23:36Speaker 1: his book and his made for TV movie and blah
- 23:39Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Yeah, now I just figured out
- 23:43Speaker 1: why the whole thing made me nauseous because of that. Well,
- 23:45Speaker 1: one shining light in today was Olivia Gonsalves.
- 23:51Speaker 7: Please describe in detail the level of anxiety you must
- 23:55Speaker 7: have felt when you heard the bear cat pull up
- 23:58Speaker 7: to your family home. It's December thirtieth, twenty twenty two.
- 24:04Speaker 7: Which do you regret more returning to the crime scene
- 24:08Speaker 7: five hours later, or never ever going back to Moscow,
- 24:13Speaker 7: not even once after stalking them there for months. If
- 24:19Speaker 7: you're really smart, do you think you'd be here right now?
- 24:23Speaker 7: What's it like needing this much attention just to feel real?
- 24:29Speaker 7: You're terrified of being ordinary? Aren't you Do you feel
- 24:35Speaker 7: anything at all? Or are you exactly what you always feared? Nothing?
- 24:43Speaker 7: If you're so powerful, then why are you still hiding? Defendant?
- 24:47Speaker 7: You see I'm here today as me, But who are you?
- 24:52Speaker 7: Let's try to take off your mask and see.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Olivia Gonsalve is laying into Brian Coburger, and I find
- 24:59Speaker 1: it really interesting the way she talked to him and
- 25:03Speaker 1: asked him these questions, many of them out of his
- 25:05Speaker 1: own questionnaire, and that he, as part of his PhD studies,
- 25:09Speaker 1: would ask convicted violent felons behind bars, what were you
- 25:13Speaker 1: thinking before you committed the violent crime? What went through
- 25:16Speaker 1: your mind? How did she meet the victims? Just tons
- 25:19Speaker 1: and tons of personal questions, But here she talks about
- 25:25Speaker 1: many of the mistakes he made, mistakes that led to
- 25:29Speaker 1: his uncovering. What about it? Joe Scott Morgan?
- 25:33Speaker 4: You know he I think, I think that he longs
- 25:37Speaker 4: for this opportunity to talk to people. That's one of
- 25:40Speaker 4: the reasons he didn't say anything in the closing. That's
- 25:43Speaker 4: one of the things he didn't one of the reasons
- 25:45Speaker 4: we didn't have any form of elocution from him, Nancy.
- 25:49Speaker 4: He wants to control things on his own terms. I
- 25:52Speaker 4: love what the judge said relative to preventing him from
- 25:57Speaker 4: creating anything in the future. And can I admit one
- 26:00Speaker 4: thing to you real quick, Yes, the idea that he's
- 26:05Speaker 4: going to not be allowed to talk to anybody from
- 26:08Speaker 4: Hollywood about a story or whatever the judge alluded to.
- 26:12Speaker 4: That understand, academics are just as mercenary, okay, because they're
- 26:17Speaker 4: going to cloak themselves and say that we need to
- 26:20Speaker 4: study this guy. What the hell else do we have
- 26:22Speaker 4: to learn from him? Stick him in a deep dark hole.
- 26:26Speaker 4: I don't ever want to hear his name again after today.
- 26:29Speaker 4: To be perfectly honest.
- 26:30Speaker 1: With you, I agree, Joe Scott. I hope I never
- 26:32Speaker 1: hear him or see him again. But all of his
- 26:35Speaker 1: business about how he cannot appeal the plea, that's not right.
- 26:40Speaker 1: There's a US Supreme Court decision that says you can
- 26:43Speaker 1: appeal a guilty plea that you willingly and knowingly enter.
- 26:49Speaker 1: For instance, what if a year from now he finds
- 26:52Speaker 1: out that some other person confessed a false confession, he
- 26:58Speaker 1: could go back and claim neely discovered evidence and have
- 27:02Speaker 1: that guilty plea thrown out. That's just an example. Guilty,
- 27:06Speaker 1: Please can be appealed. So to think he'll never appeal this,
- 27:11Speaker 1: that's a pipe dream. But I was noticing in the questioning.
- 27:16Speaker 1: And I'm going to go now to doctor Chavon Scott, psychotherapist,
- 27:20Speaker 1: a best selling author. Her new release is night Bird,
- 27:24Speaker 1: and she wrote The Minds of mass Killers. Doctor Chavon Scott,
- 27:30Speaker 1: There's so much more to say about you, but I
- 27:33Speaker 1: want to ask you about Olivia and solve this. Addressing
- 27:38Speaker 1: Brian Koberger in court, she says, if you are really smart,
- 27:43Speaker 1: do you think you'd be here right now? Do you? Uh?
- 27:48Speaker 1: What does it feel like to need this much attention
- 27:52Speaker 1: just to feel real? That? And other questions. I've got
- 27:57Speaker 1: them all laid down in front of me. She really
- 28:00Speaker 1: called him on all of his mistakes, about how he
- 28:03Speaker 1: looked down his nose at everybody else and felt superior
- 28:06Speaker 1: to everybody else, but now he's the one in shackles
- 28:09Speaker 1: in the orange jumpsuit.
- 28:11Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 28:11Speaker 13: I think she was brilliant because if you really want
- 28:14Speaker 13: a jab at this guy's ego, that's the way to
- 28:18Speaker 13: go about it is highlight his inadequacies, his mistakes, the
- 28:23Speaker 13: ways that he thought he was such a brilliant killer
- 28:26Speaker 13: and he was going to get away with it, and
- 28:28Speaker 13: he didn't, And you hit him in that ego because
- 28:34Speaker 13: we know he has an ego. And I think she
- 28:36Speaker 13: did that beautifully. It's one of the awful things about
- 28:41Speaker 13: psychopaths like this, who are sadistic. Often when they hear
- 28:46Speaker 13: the family's pain, they get a perverse sense of pleasure
- 28:51Speaker 13: out of it. They may sit there very stoic, they
- 28:54Speaker 13: may not have a reaction, but inside they're enjoying it.
- 28:58Speaker 13: I've heard them say I liked listening to the family
- 29:01Speaker 13: suffering because they get off on suffering.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Oh it's awful, Doctor Chevin Scott, I know that up
- 29:08Speaker 1: here that killers enjoy like watching on TV, watching the hunt,
- 29:13Speaker 1: watching the press conferences of people frantically looking for them.
- 29:17Speaker 1: They like watching the victim's family begging. They like it.
- 29:23Speaker 1: That's always been what I believed. But to hear you
- 29:26Speaker 1: say it, that you know it, that you've spoken to
- 29:28Speaker 1: killers that tell you they enjoyed it, I'm just wondering,
- 29:32Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, I'm just wondering if that piece of crap
- 29:38Speaker 1: Brian Coberger enjoyed watching the victims' families suffering in court
- 29:45Speaker 1: today because about based on what Chavin is telling me,
- 29:49Speaker 1: doctor Chevin Scott, he probably did that freaking pervy.
- 29:54Speaker 8: This is his big event. He calls all of this everything.
- 30:00Speaker 8: A person that showed up today showed up because of him.
- 30:03Speaker 8: Everybody upset he did it. Everybody that wasn't there, teachers
- 30:08Speaker 8: and neighbors and friends and fraternity brothers. He calls every
- 30:13Speaker 8: bit of that pain and anguish and chaos, every police officer,
- 30:18Speaker 8: he did it. This is the biggest thing he will
- 30:22Speaker 8: ever do in his life. This is the only thing
- 30:25Speaker 8: anybody's ever going to talk to him about, want to
- 30:28Speaker 8: hear from him about. He has nothing else to offer.
- 30:31Speaker 8: But I want to say one thing about justice. And
- 30:33Speaker 8: I want to make this really clear. When you talk
- 30:35Speaker 8: about an eye for an eye, that sounds even like
- 30:40Speaker 8: you took twenty dollars from me. You got to give
- 30:41Speaker 8: me twenty dollars back. There is nothing that you could
- 30:46Speaker 8: do to that man that would equal justice for those children.
- 30:52Speaker 8: They were beautiful, they were loving, they were given, they
- 30:55Speaker 8: were friendly, they were generous. He's none of those things.
- 31:00Speaker 8: Hands get justice from him. If we put him in
- 31:03Speaker 8: the electric chair and kill him, well, how many times
- 31:05Speaker 8: do we get to killing? How many times do we
- 31:08Speaker 8: revive him and kill him again. There is nothing mid
- 31:11Speaker 8: evil enough we could do to him.
- 31:13Speaker 1: I've got a great answer for that. I would say four.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I'd say four four times too. Did you say kill
- 31:21Speaker 1: him and revive him again? Yeah? Might go that far
- 31:26Speaker 1: in seeking justice. I mean, I don't know if there
- 31:28Speaker 1: ever is justice, But I know one thing I know.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Olivia Gounsolves is a superstar. Listen to this.
- 31:35Speaker 7: You didn't create devastation. You revealed it, and it's in
- 31:38Speaker 7: yourself and that darkness you carry, that emptiness. You'll sit
- 31:43Speaker 7: with it long after this is over. That is your sentence,
- 31:47Speaker 7: and it was written on the wall long before you
- 31:50Speaker 7: ever pled guilty. You didn't win. You just exposed yourself
- 31:57Speaker 7: as the poward you are. You're a dellusional, pathetic, hypochondriac
- 32:03Speaker 7: loser who thought you were so much smarter than everybody else,
- 32:08Speaker 7: constantly scolding, turning your nose up to grammar mistakes, nitpicking
- 32:12Speaker 7: and criticizing others. You wanted so badly to be different,
- 32:17Speaker 7: to be special, to be better, to be deep, to
- 32:19Speaker 7: be mysterious. You found yourself thinking you were better than
- 32:23Speaker 7: everyone else, and you thought you could figure out the
- 32:26Speaker 7: human psyche and see through it.
- 32:28Speaker 14: All while tweaked.
- 32:28Speaker 6: Out on heroin.
- 32:31Speaker 7: Lurking in the shadows made you feel powerful because no
- 32:34Speaker 7: one ever paid you any attention in the light.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Two words, the bomb, Olivia Gonsalves the bob. Did you
- 32:41Speaker 1: hear what? She said? Straight out to Greg Morris chomping
- 32:45Speaker 1: at the bit, veteran criminal defense attorney at Morse I Legal,
- 32:48Speaker 1: author of the Untested on Amazon, and you can find
- 32:52Speaker 1: them at morse Illegal dot com. Man, this girl's got
- 32:57Speaker 1: a future in front of her if she wants to
- 32:58Speaker 1: be a felony prosecutor. Did you do you hear her?
- 33:00Speaker 1: You're right, constantly scolding. You know, nobody hates anything more
- 33:05Speaker 1: than I know it all, constantly scolding, turning your nose
- 33:10Speaker 1: up to grammar mistakes. Remember he was a TA No,
- 33:14Speaker 1: we do ntsizing.
- 33:18Speaker 15: Yep.
- 33:19Speaker 16: What if there's something that will stay with him for
- 33:23Speaker 16: the rest of his life, it will be Olivia's allocution
- 33:29Speaker 16: statement to him or victim impact statement on behalf of
- 33:31Speaker 16: her sister. I've done this job for a long time.
- 33:34Speaker 16: We can go back to the beginnings of criminals. Criminals
- 33:37Speaker 16: are morons. This guy was a nobody who wanted to
- 33:41Speaker 16: be special, and he's a nobody, loser, moron, and she
- 33:45Speaker 16: called him on that and now all the other stuff.
- 33:48Speaker 16: I think your experts are right. He liked to see
- 33:50Speaker 16: the family struggle, and you know I caused all this,
- 33:53Speaker 16: but that all stopped in his head when Olivia and
- 33:56Speaker 16: the judge said something important too.
- 33:58Speaker 15: He called him incompetent.
- 34:00Speaker 16: When you attack a moron and call him for what
- 34:02Speaker 16: he is is what the sister did to him, she
- 34:05Speaker 16: can for what is. There is no closure in these cases.
- 34:08Speaker 16: The trauma is too deep. My dad used to say,
- 34:10Speaker 16: a parent who loses a child is only waiting to die,
- 34:15Speaker 16: and so there is no closure. But knowing the criminal
- 34:19Speaker 16: mind and knowing that this is born of stupidity, This
- 34:22Speaker 16: is born of a loser, a weak person, a lazy person.
- 34:26Speaker 16: That sister's statement, he will roll that over. And what
- 34:28Speaker 16: he's going to do is he's going to think to himself,
- 34:31Speaker 16: I'll show you. But he'll never be able to, so
- 34:34Speaker 16: he will live in misery.
- 34:36Speaker 15: Let alone.
- 34:37Speaker 16: It's not three hots in the cop Our prison systems
- 34:39Speaker 16: in America are difficult. Food is industrial level, so he
- 34:42Speaker 16: will have a horrible experience.
- 34:44Speaker 15: Every day will be how do I stop.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Actually say that doesn't care to have food that you
- 34:51Speaker 1: whit need. He's not getting his private chef to no, no.
- 34:54Speaker 16: No, no, no, what you're not understanding, Nancy, in society were people,
- 35:00Speaker 16: it's not. He will have a miserable existence and Olivia's
- 35:03Speaker 16: statements will ring in his head because he is going
- 35:06Speaker 16: to want to show where he's somebody, but he's a nobody.
- 35:09Speaker 16: And she called him on it and brought vo to
- 35:11Speaker 16: her for having the courage to do that.
- 35:13Speaker 1: You know what, Mores, It just hit me in all
- 35:16Speaker 1: the years that I prosecuted felony cases, and I would
- 35:20Speaker 1: be in a closing argument and I would talk about
- 35:23Speaker 1: all the mistakes the defendant made and how he got caught,
- 35:27Speaker 1: Like it could be a fingerprint, It could be driving
- 35:31Speaker 1: under a street lamp and somebody getting the tag id.
- 35:34Speaker 1: It could be loose lips that sink ships where they
- 35:37Speaker 1: said something that only the killer would know, that kind
- 35:41Speaker 1: of thing. And there were a couple of times, and
- 35:44Speaker 1: this was rare for me. Is you can only imagine
- 35:47Speaker 1: that I would break a smile because such an idiot.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Those were the only times when you would kind of
- 35:57Speaker 1: get a laugh off the defendant house stupid and competently
- 36:00Speaker 1: were that you would get a rise out of the defendant.
- 36:03Speaker 1: That would make them matt no remorse, no shame. But
- 36:08Speaker 1: when it's pointed out to them, hey, you screwed up
- 36:11Speaker 1: a hole. That's how you got caught. That's the only
- 36:15Speaker 1: way you'd get a rise out of them. And when
- 36:17Speaker 1: Olivi Gosolvus was talking about you think you're so smart,
- 36:22Speaker 1: you think you're brilliant, Look what you.
- 36:24Speaker 15: Did, idiot, Well that's what it.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Is that will stick with him.
- 36:28Speaker 16: Morse, So he called him out on his you know,
- 36:31Speaker 16: the way he viewed himself that was phony, not just
- 36:34Speaker 16: you did this wrong or that, which was which was
- 36:37Speaker 16: very impactful also, but also on you know.
- 36:40Speaker 15: We know that you're a nobody.
- 36:42Speaker 16: We know you're a loser who thinks you're special, and
- 36:45Speaker 16: that's why you did this, but everybody knows you're not.
- 36:47Speaker 16: And very to have the courage to be that articulate
- 36:50Speaker 16: in such a unimaginable for anyone who hasn't experienced, I
- 36:54Speaker 16: can't imagine. Even though I've sat in courtrooms and listened
- 36:57Speaker 16: to this, I still no one can imagine what it's
- 36:59Speaker 16: like unless you go through it. And also just to
- 37:02Speaker 16: point out that was very smart. The prosecutor for the
- 37:06Speaker 16: family to get the appellate waiver. We do that a
- 37:08Speaker 16: lot in federal cases, at least in Florida. We don't
- 37:11Speaker 16: do that much in state cases when there's a play,
- 37:14Speaker 16: which most cases resolve by. But yes, you're right, there
- 37:17Speaker 16: are very now narrow circumstances. He can appeal a habeas
- 37:21Speaker 16: petition and ineffective counsel. Those petitions usually go nowhere fast.
- 37:27Speaker 16: So that was a good thing for the family that
- 37:30Speaker 16: maybe they don't realize now, But every time there's something
- 37:33Speaker 16: in the paper about the initial brief was filed and
- 37:35Speaker 16: now there's an appeal going to be heard, that overwhelms
- 37:38Speaker 16: the family and feels like there's no this is going
- 37:42Speaker 16: to open up again.
- 37:43Speaker 1: I bet they feel a lot better when that firing
- 37:47Speaker 1: squad goes down. No more now speaking yet, Well, that's
- 37:51Speaker 1: you talking, that's not them talking. Living and solve us
- 37:55Speaker 1: didn't stop there.
- 37:56Speaker 7: You thought you were exceptional all because of a grade
- 37:58Speaker 7: on a paper. You thought you were elite because your
- 38:02Speaker 7: online IQ test from twenty ten told you so, all
- 38:07Speaker 7: of that effort just to seem important.
- 38:09Speaker 14: It's desperate.
- 38:11Speaker 7: There is a name for your condition, though, your inflated
- 38:14Speaker 7: ego just didn't allow you to see it.
- 38:16Speaker 6: Wanna be.
- 38:19Speaker 7: You act like no one could ever understand your mind.
- 38:22Speaker 7: But the truth is you're basic. You're a text bookcase
- 38:26Speaker 7: of insecurity disguised as control. Your patterns are predictable, your
- 38:30Speaker 7: motives are shallow. You are not profound. You're pathetic. You
- 38:36Speaker 7: aren't special or deep, not mysterious or exceptional. Don't ever
- 38:41Speaker 7: get it twisted again. No one is scared of you today.
- 38:47Speaker 7: No one is intimidated by you, no one is impressed
- 38:49Speaker 7: by you. No one thinks that you are important. You
- 38:54Speaker 7: orchestrated this like you thought you were God. Now look
- 38:57Speaker 7: at you, begging a courtroom for scraps. You spent months preparing,
- 39:02Speaker 7: and still all it took was my sister and a sheath.
- 39:06Speaker 7: You work so hard to see them dangerous, but real
- 39:09Speaker 7: control doesn't have to prove itself.
- 39:11Speaker 1: I just want to stand up and cheer right now.
- 39:13Speaker 1: I want to cheer this woman. And I know I've
- 39:16Speaker 1: got other victim impact statements for you to hear. I
- 39:20Speaker 1: just want to give you one more little bit of
- 39:24Speaker 1: this girl. I'm telling you Olivia Gonsolves. And if this
- 39:27Speaker 1: is any tiny example, a tiny example of what her
- 39:33Speaker 1: sister killer, gonslves was like I'm in She would have
- 39:37Speaker 1: set the world on fire.
- 39:39Speaker 7: Listen, the truth is the scariest part about you. It's
- 39:43Speaker 7: how painfully average you turned out to be. The truth
- 39:47Speaker 7: is as dumb as they come, stupid, clumsy, slow, sloppy, weak, dirty.
- 39:58Speaker 7: Let me be very clear, don't ever try to convince
- 40:02Speaker 7: yourself you mattered just because someone finally said your name
- 40:05Speaker 7: out loud. You thought I see through you. You want
- 40:11Speaker 7: the truth, Here's the one you'll hate the most. If
- 40:14Speaker 7: you hadn't attacked them in their sleep in the middle
- 40:18Speaker 7: of the night like a pedophile, Kaylie would have kicked
- 40:21Speaker 7: your fucking ass.
- 40:23Speaker 14: Thank you, thank you.
- 40:39Speaker 7: I don't know a location.
- 40:44Speaker 6: I don't know what.
- 40:50Speaker 1: She's not working up. My man in the house was
- 40:56Speaker 1: life plus Live, plus Live plus live run consecutively. That's
- 41:01Speaker 1: what coburger got today. Many people thought that a jury
- 41:05Speaker 1: should at least be given the choice of the death penalty.
- 41:10Speaker 1: That did not happen, over the objections of about half
- 41:15Speaker 1: the victims' families. Joscott Morgan, I want you and the
- 41:20Speaker 1: rest of our panel to listen to what Olivia Gonsova said.
- 41:24Speaker 1: She says, just because you took an online IQ test.
- 41:29Speaker 1: You think you're brilliant, man, Okay, that that hurt. You're
- 41:35Speaker 1: a wanna be and you're just basic. You're basic, you know,
- 41:39Speaker 1: like a car that doesn't have any upgrades on it.
- 41:43Speaker 1: It's just like plastic on wheels, That's what she's saying.
- 41:48Speaker 1: And all this time Coburger thought he was so subed.
- 41:51Speaker 4: Yeah, he did. He thought he was a legend in
- 41:52Speaker 4: his own mind. And you know, you can see that
- 41:55Speaker 4: that's demonstrated in academia, Nancy. This idea that he went
- 41:59Speaker 4: to WSU and he you know, first off, he treats
- 42:05Speaker 4: all of his students, those that he's a TA for
- 42:09Speaker 4: like garbage, particularly the women. I think that's kind of
- 42:12Speaker 4: significant in this case. And then those that are in
- 42:15Speaker 4: a position of authority over him, Nancy, he's only one
- 42:20Speaker 4: he's only one semester into a doctoral program. Let's face it.
- 42:24Speaker 4: In that position, you're lower than pond'scum at that point
- 42:28Speaker 4: in time, you have no voice in that environment. You're
- 42:32Speaker 4: there to work and do what you're told to do.
- 42:34Speaker 4: And I don't think that it would balance out in
- 42:36Speaker 4: his mind. I think that for a long time he
- 42:38Speaker 4: thought that he was the smartest person in the room,
- 42:41Speaker 4: and he failed miserably. I love the fact that she
- 42:44Speaker 4: uses term basic that he thought that he was some
- 42:47Speaker 4: kind of superstar.
- 42:48Speaker 15: I don't know.
- 42:49Speaker 4: For how long now, I've had people that have approached
- 42:52Speaker 4: me that have said, oh, well, you know, he took
- 42:55Speaker 4: these classes in college and he was exposed to this
- 42:59Speaker 4: and that. But you know what, I watched NASCAR on
- 43:01Speaker 4: Sunday afternoon. Doesn't make me a damn Nascar driver, you know.
- 43:05Speaker 4: And that's about the extent of it. He has no
- 43:08Speaker 4: experience in forensics whatsoever. And yeah, he was able to
- 43:12Speaker 4: clean up after himself, but in the end, the science
- 43:15Speaker 4: got him. He's not that bright, you know.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Doctor Dwayne Hendrix is with us. He is former Associate
- 43:21Speaker 1: Warden MDC Brooklyn, former Senior warden with the US Department
- 43:26Speaker 1: of Justice with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He founded
- 43:29Speaker 1: the New Daylight Foundation. He's the author of who Are
- 43:32Speaker 1: You See It? Say It Sees It? Doctor Hendrix, you've
- 43:36Speaker 1: seen it all, as have many of us on the panel.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Why do defendants think they know everything? And then they're
- 43:45Speaker 1: so angry when somebody says you took an online IQ test?
- 43:50Speaker 1: Get over it?
- 43:51Speaker 12: Well, Nancy. He appears and I'm not a psychologist by profession,
- 43:55Speaker 12: but I think he's a sociopath. And for some reason,
- 43:59Speaker 12: I agree what Professor Scott talked about, you know, thinking,
- 44:03Speaker 12: you know, some of the thoughts about him, you know,
- 44:05Speaker 12: being the smartest person in the room, thought he controlled everything.
- 44:09Speaker 12: And now he's been exposed for what he truly is
- 44:12Speaker 12: by the fact that he didn't say anything today at.
- 44:14Speaker 15: The Cenising hearing.
- 44:15Speaker 12: He didn't apologize, he didn't take any responsibility for his actions.
- 44:21Speaker 1: And I'm projects, did you not hear me talking about
- 44:24Speaker 1: the pet lizard that just goes we need to talk
- 44:29Speaker 1: to it. That's coburger. What do you think he's going
- 44:32Speaker 1: to say, I'm sorry I did.
- 44:34Speaker 12: No, No, I didn't think that. But but I have
- 44:37Speaker 12: a concerned about where if he's going to have I
- 44:40Speaker 12: don't know if he's had a cell has a cell
- 44:41Speaker 12: mate just yet, but I think the fact that he
- 44:45Speaker 12: probably does want to be more famous, he does want
- 44:47Speaker 12: to continue this conversation, I'm very concerned that he'll probably
- 44:51Speaker 12: reoffend again, especially if they don't get a hold of
- 44:55Speaker 12: his whatever his mental issues are. And I'm not sure
- 44:59Speaker 12: where they're gonna house him once he gets to that
- 45:01Speaker 12: maximum security prison.
- 45:02Speaker 1: I don't think that there's a medical diagnosis for this.
- 45:05Speaker 1: I think he's just a straight up ahole.
- 45:08Speaker 12: I would agree with that, And I do believe that
- 45:11Speaker 12: he's going to reoffend again because I think he wants
- 45:14Speaker 12: to keep his name in the papers, his name in
- 45:16Speaker 12: the light. And depending on where they house him and
- 45:20Speaker 12: who they house him with, is going to determine whether
- 45:23Speaker 12: he is either going to reoffend or if he's going
- 45:26Speaker 12: to be harmed in some way. He may end up
- 45:28Speaker 12: being a victim of homicide himself there in the state
- 45:31Speaker 12: of Idaho.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Oh Hendrix, Hendrix, Hendrix, my poor naive doctor, Dwayne Hendrix.
- 45:38Speaker 1: How many times do we hear people say there'll be
- 45:40Speaker 1: prison justice. When is their prison justice? I've known of.
- 45:44Speaker 1: I can count on one hand the number of times
- 45:48Speaker 1: a killer has been killed behind bars because of what
- 45:52Speaker 1: he did. There was one Catholic priest who was killed
- 45:57Speaker 1: because one of his molested victims happened to be in
- 46:00Speaker 1: that facility and killed him. There aren't that many cases
- 46:04Speaker 1: of prison justice. There's a lot of fights, and there's
- 46:07Speaker 1: a lot of murders, but not in the name of
- 46:09Speaker 1: prison justice. So can we just put that myth to
- 46:12Speaker 1: bad Hendrix.
- 46:13Speaker 4: No, I won't.
- 46:14Speaker 12: I respect your opinion, Nancy, but but this is who
- 46:18Speaker 12: he is because remember I always say, there's two things
- 46:20Speaker 12: you don't want to be in prison, one informant, one
- 46:22Speaker 12: as a sex offender. But the third is the category
- 46:25Speaker 12: he fits himself in. Inmates don't like inmates who harmed women.
- 46:30Speaker 12: And he killed three women.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Since you know that, doctor Hendricks, name me three people,
- 46:38Speaker 1: just three, we'll just start with three and that have
- 46:40Speaker 1: been murdered behind bars to get back at them for
- 46:43Speaker 1: what they did.
- 46:45Speaker 12: Said, what was the Jeffrey Dahmer. I believe that was one.
- 46:49Speaker 12: I can't name the other two.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Yep, that's one that was on my list.
- 46:52Speaker 12: Yeah, Jeffrey Dahmer. I don't have the other two, but
- 46:56Speaker 12: I guarantee you.
- 46:58Speaker 1: The other two. But guy was on my list. Okay, yeah, right, Yeah,
- 47:03Speaker 1: they're out there, but I don't know their names. You
- 47:05Speaker 1: sound like one of the defendants that get on the
- 47:07Speaker 1: stand under my cross examination and try to blame somebody else.
- 47:10Speaker 1: I'm like, well, what's their name? I don't know what
- 47:12Speaker 1: they look like. I don't know because they're not any
- 47:16Speaker 1: there's not any you got father John Gogan, he was
- 47:20Speaker 1: sixty eight. He was convicted of child molestation and he
- 47:24Speaker 1: was murdered behind bars by Joseph Druce out of rage
- 47:30Speaker 1: at what the father had done. And the assailant was
- 47:36Speaker 1: a victim of child molestation. So that's two two in
- 47:42Speaker 1: history that we can think of. So don't count on
- 47:45Speaker 1: prison justice. We should meet out justice, the court should
- 47:50Speaker 1: meet out justice. We shouldn't rely on inmates to meet
- 47:55Speaker 1: out justice. Okay, that's too Hendrix. I'm going to give
- 47:59Speaker 1: you a time out while you can google and find
- 48:02Speaker 1: out if there's anybody else. In the meantime, you've heard
- 48:07Speaker 1: sister gunsolves Olivia. Now take a listen to mother and gounsovs.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I love this woman.
- 48:14Speaker 10: You are entering a place where no one will care
- 48:16Speaker 10: who you are and no one will ever respect you.
- 48:20Speaker 1: You will be.
- 48:20Speaker 10: Forgotten, discarded, used and erased. You will always be remembered
- 48:26Speaker 10: as a loser, an absolute failure. And when those prison
- 48:30Speaker 10: doors slams shut behind you, I hope that sound echoes
- 48:33Speaker 10: in your heart for the rest of your meaningless days.
- 48:37Speaker 10: I hope it reminds you of what we all already know.
- 48:40Speaker 10: You're nothing. May you continue to live your life in misery.
- 48:45Speaker 10: You are officially the property of the state of Idaho,
- 48:49Speaker 10: where your fellow inmates are anxiously awaiting your arrival. But
- 48:53Speaker 10: it's okay because they're there to help you.
- 48:56Speaker 1: And she didn't leave it there. She sent Coburger a
- 49:02Speaker 1: message from her youngest daughter.
- 49:05Speaker 10: Listen quick message from our youngest daughter, Aubrey wanted to
- 49:10Speaker 10: see you may have received a's in high school and college,
- 49:16Speaker 10: but you're going to be getting big d's in prison.
- 49:22Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 49:27Speaker 1: Joining me is Susan Hendrix, who has been in the
- 49:30Speaker 1: courtroom throughout covering this. Today you heard the mom of
- 49:35Speaker 1: Killi Gorinsavas speak. She sends a message from the little
- 49:40Speaker 1: sister Aubrey, and Aubrey says Coburger, you may have received
- 49:44Speaker 1: a's in high school and college, but you're going to
- 49:47Speaker 1: be getting big d's in prison. Yeah, okay, you don't
- 49:52Speaker 1: have to spell that out for me. What was the
- 49:53Speaker 1: reaction in the courtroom to that, speaking of prison justice.
- 49:57Speaker 6: I was kind of looking around and there were, of
- 49:59Speaker 6: course offices.
- 50:00Speaker 5: In there, and there was kind of a truckle and
- 50:02Speaker 5: take it aback and then applause. If there was a
- 50:04Speaker 5: masterclass on how to get to a psychopathic sociopath.
- 50:10Speaker 6: It was a consolvist family.
- 50:11Speaker 5: It's the only time in court because I could directly
- 50:14Speaker 5: see kind of his jawline only about twenty feet from
- 50:17Speaker 5: Cobra or thirty feet that he clenched it when she
- 50:20Speaker 5: talked about how he treased his students and how he's
- 50:24Speaker 5: nothing in a paraphrasing here, it got to him and
- 50:27Speaker 5: I saw it.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Guys, we also heard from Xana Kernodle's sister Jasmine, listen.
- 50:33Speaker 17: Because the truth is, you don't deserve power over my feelings,
- 50:38Speaker 17: in my words or me. In the end, I realized
- 50:43Speaker 17: this woman isn't about you. It's about justice for Xanna, Ethan, Kaylee,
- 50:49Speaker 17: and Maddie. It's about honoring the beautiful, beautiful people they
- 50:53Speaker 17: were and still are in God's eyes. Xanna didn't get
- 50:56Speaker 17: the future she deserved.
- 50:59Speaker 1: She won't be the.
- 50:59Speaker 17: Maid of owning the cool on to my future children.
- 51:05Speaker 17: I'll never hear her laugh or see her light upper
- 51:08Speaker 17: room over again, but I will carry her with me
- 51:12Speaker 17: for the rest of my life. I will live in
- 51:15Speaker 17: her honor, fight to be the best kind of woman
- 51:18Speaker 17: and someone she's proud of, to make sure the world
- 51:21Speaker 17: never forgets who she was.
- 51:23Speaker 1: That was so poignant, Cheryl McCollum. When the sister is
- 51:29Speaker 1: describing how Xanna will never be her maid of honor,
- 51:33Speaker 1: I mean, and it makes you think, it evokes all
- 51:36Speaker 1: the future events that will never.
- 51:39Speaker 8: Happen, when she describes the future events that are never
- 51:42Speaker 8: going to happen again. The families live with this loss
- 51:46Speaker 8: every single day, and some of those events are going
- 51:49Speaker 8: to be so powerful when she does get married and
- 51:52Speaker 8: her sister there, when she has her children and her
- 51:55Speaker 8: sister's not there. But you know, just those general days,
- 51:59Speaker 8: just an average Wednesday, that you can't call and talk
- 52:02Speaker 8: about something funny that happened, or call and say I
- 52:05Speaker 8: felt the baby, or you know, I picked out flowers,
- 52:09Speaker 8: whatever it is. Those are such powerful moments that will
- 52:15Speaker 8: be tarnished.
- 52:16Speaker 1: You know, Cheryl, you just gave me a flashback when
- 52:19Speaker 1: I found out I was gonna have the twins, right,
- 52:24Speaker 1: I was sent to Virginia Tech, remember the shooting at
- 52:28Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, And I didn't have anybody to tell. I
- 52:34Speaker 1: got out of the car, pulled over to the side
- 52:36Speaker 1: of the interstate and call my sister in California. And
- 52:42Speaker 1: I was standing on the side of the interstate and
- 52:46Speaker 1: that's who I had to tell and that will never happen.
- 52:51Speaker 1: That will never happen for Jasmine. And we also heard
- 52:56Speaker 1: from Xana's stepfather Randy, and you could tell he has
- 53:01Speaker 1: been through hell.
- 53:04Speaker 3: You man, I don't know what my limits are here,
- 53:09Speaker 3: but I'm really struggling, dude, I am struggling, so I
- 53:13Speaker 3: want to I want to just be out in the
- 53:16Speaker 3: woods with you, just so I can teach you about
- 53:18Speaker 3: loss and pain. I'm not I belive.
- 53:21Speaker 15: I love God.
- 53:22Speaker 3: I wouldn't take your life. That's up to him, but
- 53:25Speaker 3: I guarantee you you are weak God. I would just
- 53:30Speaker 3: give a moment, man, five minutes out of the woods.
- 53:35Speaker 3: Oh man, you're gonna go to Hell. I know people
- 53:40Speaker 3: believe in other stuff. You're You're evil. There's no place
- 53:44Speaker 3: for you in heaven. You took our children. You are
- 53:49Speaker 3: gonna suffer.
- 53:50Speaker 2: Man.
- 53:51Speaker 3: I'm shaking because I want to reach out to you.
- 53:54Speaker 3: But I just I hope you feel my energy. Okay,
- 53:57Speaker 3: go to hell.
- 54:07Speaker 1: For one moment, I thought he was gonna leave across
- 54:09Speaker 1: that lectern and get coburger by the neck. We also
- 54:13Speaker 1: heard words from Dylan Mortenson. She and Bethany have been
- 54:18Speaker 1: attacked so brutally and oppressed. Since the murders, they're lucky
- 54:23Speaker 1: to be alive today. Let's know what, Dylan Mortenson relayed.
- 54:28Speaker 11: I was barely nineteen when he did this. We had
- 54:31Speaker 11: just celebrated my birthday at the end of September. I
- 54:35Speaker 11: should have been figuring out who I was. I should
- 54:38Speaker 11: have been having the cold experience and starting to establish
- 54:42Speaker 11: my future. Instead, I was forced to learn how to
- 54:47Speaker 11: survive the unimaginable. I'm couldn't be alone. I had to
- 54:55Speaker 11: sleep in my mom's bed because I was too terrified
- 54:58Speaker 11: to close my eyes, Terrified that if I blinked, someone
- 55:01Speaker 11: might be there. I made escape plans everywhere I went.
- 55:07Speaker 11: If something happens, how do I get out? What can
- 55:11Speaker 11: I use to defend myself? Who can help? Then there
- 55:16Speaker 11: are the panic attacks. The guy that slam into me
- 55:20Speaker 11: like a tsunami out of nowhere. I can't breathe, I
- 55:26Speaker 11: can't think.
- 55:27Speaker 18: I can't stop shaking. All I can do is scream.
- 55:36Speaker 1: It just is like a stab to hear Dylan Mortonson
- 55:40Speaker 1: describing what she's still living through the panic attacks where
- 55:44Speaker 1: she can't breathe, she said, it feels like a tsunami
- 55:47Speaker 1: wave hitting her she can't stop shaking. All she can
- 55:50Speaker 1: do is scream it's real, There's nothing wrong with her,
- 55:55Speaker 1: this is normal. This is trauma that she may never
- 55:58Speaker 1: get over. Listen to more of Dylan Morton's.
- 56:03Speaker 11: People call me strong, they say I'm a survivor, but
- 56:07Speaker 11: they don't see what my new reality looks like.
- 56:10Speaker 18: They don't see the.
- 56:11Speaker 11: Panic attacks, the hypervigilance, the exhaustion, the way I scan
- 56:16Speaker 11: every room I enter, the way I flinch, it sudden sounds.
- 56:22Speaker 11: They don't know how heavy it is to carry so
- 56:25Speaker 11: much pain and still be expected to keep going.
- 56:27Speaker 18: And that's because of him. He still boards on me.
- 56:32Speaker 18: I may never get back.
- 56:35Speaker 11: He took the version of me who didn't go instantly
- 56:38Speaker 11: ask what if that happens again? What if next time?
- 56:43Speaker 11: I don't survive?
- 56:44Speaker 1: Susan Henry's joining us from the courthouse. Susan explain to
- 56:49Speaker 1: everyone how she came across as she was giving her
- 56:53Speaker 1: impact statement. Oh that was.
- 56:55Speaker 5: Heart wrenching, it was she her heart was bleeding. She
- 56:59Speaker 5: was being honest about her life has been torture ever since.
- 57:03Speaker 5: She thinks, when will I be next? Look what you
- 57:05Speaker 5: took from me? These were my friends and this was
- 57:08Speaker 5: the only time I looked over Brian Koberger's mother was there,
- 57:11Speaker 5: no sign of his father. Two sisters, they were wiping tears.
- 57:14Speaker 5: They connected with her. They felt that and I saw it.
- 57:17Speaker 5: But I feel for her. You could tell that it
- 57:20Speaker 5: took everything, but she had to be there. She had
- 57:22Speaker 5: to read that statement and just saying how it's People
- 57:26Speaker 5: expect me to go on and I don't know how to.
- 57:28Speaker 1: You know, doctor Chavon Scott, he's joining us renowned psychotherapist's
- 57:33Speaker 1: best selling author, doctor Chevon. It's hard for people that
- 57:38Speaker 1: haven't lived through it, and people shouldn't understand it. I
- 57:41Speaker 1: don't want them to have to understand it, but this
- 57:44Speaker 1: is real. I've seen victims literally shaking all over when
- 57:51Speaker 1: they had to take the witness stand and recount what
- 57:54Speaker 1: happened to them, what they lived through. It's brutal and
- 58:00Speaker 1: for the rest of your life, anything can trigger it.
- 58:04Speaker 13: Yeah, we're really talking about severe, severe, post traumatic stress.
- 58:09Speaker 1: And that changes the brain.
- 58:13Speaker 13: I've lived through it and I completely get it.
- 58:16Speaker 1: The brain can just break.
- 58:18Speaker 13: We can be emotionally shattered, and we're never the same
- 58:22Speaker 13: people we would have been if we hadn't have gone
- 58:26Speaker 13: through something like that, and in treatment. We certainly work
- 58:30Speaker 13: with survivors. We do our best to try to help
- 58:34Speaker 13: them come to some degree of healing, but the world
- 58:38Speaker 13: is never safe for them again, and they're never the same,
- 58:41Speaker 13: and they move through it completely differently than they would
- 58:45Speaker 13: have if they'd not been through that trauma.
- 58:47Speaker 1: And I guarantee you, Sharyl McCollum, just her testifying or
- 58:51Speaker 1: speaking in court today, we'll make it all come back.
- 58:55Speaker 1: And you and I have had to beg witnesses to testify.
- 58:59Speaker 1: I beg them because they don't want to relive it,
- 59:03Speaker 1: even verbally.
- 59:04Speaker 8: She even said, I'm shaking right now she's having to
- 59:08Speaker 8: face him. But let me say this, this is my
- 59:10Speaker 8: prayer for her. With all the panic attacks and the
- 59:13Speaker 8: escape plans that she puts into place, and her life
- 59:17Speaker 8: is torture. She faced that devil today and I hope
- 59:21Speaker 8: she understands the power in that.
- 59:25Speaker 1: Guys, we've all heard the name Dylan Mortenson, but the
- 59:29Speaker 1: other name, the other girl that lived. Finally, she tells
- 59:36Speaker 1: us what she told police, what happened that night. A
- 59:39Speaker 1: few answers. Listen.
- 59:41Speaker 19: When I first woke up one morning, I had no
- 59:44Speaker 19: idea what happened. I woke up around seven with a
- 59:47Speaker 19: terrible toothache. So I called my dad, who is a dentist,
- 59:51Speaker 19: and he asked what I should do. He told me
- 59:54Speaker 19: to take Adville, so I did, and I went back
- 59:56Speaker 19: to sleep. I was still out of it and still
- 59:59Speaker 19: didn't what happened. If I had known, I of course
- 1:00:02Speaker 19: would have called nine one right away. I still carry
- 1:00:05Speaker 19: so much regret and guilt for not knowing what had
- 1:00:08Speaker 19: happened in not calling right away, even though I understand
- 1:00:12Speaker 19: it wouldn't have changed anything, not even if the paramedics
- 1:00:15Speaker 19: had been right outside the door.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: You know Greg Morris, veteran defense attorney, but today I
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: think we're on the same side. For once or now,
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: lawyer at Morse Legal and author of the Untested on Amazon,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: Greg that I had no shrink. But I know what that is.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: It's survivor's guilt. And she is explaining why she didn't
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: immediately call nine one one while there were several hours delayed.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: Because she's been attacked so much in the media. People
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: have even written online inanely I think she was part
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: of it. She was not part of it. She just
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: explained what happened, and who would have imagined it was
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: a toothache.
- 1:00:57Speaker 16: You know, people that don't experience things have the biggest
- 1:01:00Speaker 16: mouths that speak from ignorance, and that's all that is.
- 1:01:04Speaker 16: I hope that she can put that burden down because
- 1:01:07Speaker 16: the only person responsible for anything that happened that day
- 1:01:10Speaker 16: was Brian Kolberger. Not one human in that house had
- 1:01:14Speaker 16: anything to do with it. They didn't cause it to last.
- 1:01:17Speaker 16: And it's unfortunate that she lived. And she has to
- 1:01:20Speaker 16: live with that too, right, Her friends and the therapists
- 1:01:23Speaker 16: and on the panel know this. I mean, she lived,
- 1:01:27Speaker 16: like you said, survivor's guilt. Her friends are dead, and
- 1:01:29Speaker 16: now people are attacking her for she should have done X?
- 1:01:33Speaker 16: How could you not call nine on one? And it's
- 1:01:35Speaker 16: you know, I think people it's a natural instinct. They
- 1:01:38Speaker 16: filter logical rational choices through trauma, and when trauma happens,
- 1:01:45Speaker 16: logical rational choices don't. Usually that's the whole point, and
- 1:01:49Speaker 16: that's what's difficult, And it's if you're going to say
- 1:01:51Speaker 16: anything negative about someone like that, you're just a loser,
- 1:01:54Speaker 16: plain and simple. And if you're on a computer doing it,
- 1:01:56Speaker 16: you're like a loser's loser.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, Morse. Yeah, Now Morris is talking
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: about survivor's guilt. Everybody on this panel has seen it
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: in the courtroom, people that live. But listen to what now.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: Bethany is having a friend read this for her in court.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: I want you to listen to what she, Bethany relays.
- 1:02:14Speaker 19: I still think about this every day.
- 1:02:15Speaker 15: Why me? Why did I get.
- 1:02:18Speaker 19: To live and not them? For the longest time, I
- 1:02:22Speaker 19: could not even look at their families without feeling sick
- 1:02:24Speaker 19: with guilt. I did not know what to say or
- 1:02:28Speaker 19: what to do. I was terrified that my presence just
- 1:02:30Speaker 19: made their pain worse, and I was still here when
- 1:02:33Speaker 19: their kid, their siblings, and their friends. Their loved ones
- 1:02:37Speaker 19: should have been here instead.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Their loved ones should have been here instead, and not me.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: She's going to carry this with her the rest of
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: her life while Coburger mates the made for TV movie
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: behind Bars listen to her suffering.
- 1:02:52Speaker 19: I slept in my parents' room for almost a year.
- 1:02:55Speaker 19: I made them double lock every door, set an alarm,
- 1:03:00Speaker 19: check everywhere in the room just in case someone was hiding.
- 1:03:03Speaker 19: And I still check my room every night before and
- 1:03:06Speaker 19: I double lock it. I have not slept through a
- 1:03:09Speaker 19: single night since this happened. I constantly wake up in panics,
- 1:03:13Speaker 19: terrified someone who's breaking in, or someone is here to
- 1:03:17Speaker 19: hurt me, or I'm about to lose someone else that
- 1:03:19Speaker 19: I love.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum. Final thought.
- 1:03:22Speaker 8: I think the courage and grace and dignity that we
- 1:03:25Speaker 8: saw today with every single person that took the podium
- 1:03:29Speaker 8: was unbelievable. But I also have to say one pretty
- 1:03:34Speaker 8: gangster move with Ethan's family who didn't show because Brian
- 1:03:40Speaker 8: Coberg didn't deserfe it.
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: Greg Morris, you and I have saying countless victim impact statements,
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: but I've got to say the ones today in that
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: Coburger court room, and well, they weren't like anything I've
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: ever seen before. But I still believe this case should
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: have gone to a jury trial. I will always say
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: that because for the rest of their lives, and just
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: admit it. More so, don't fight with me about this.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: You know, the rest of these victims families lives. They're
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: going to wonder, They're going to wake up in the
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: middle of the night. They may be driving down the
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: road when it hit some What was the last thing
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: she saw, What was the last thing he felt? Did
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: he think about me before he died?
- 1:04:25Speaker 17: Well?
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: I ever see them again. They'll never have any of
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: those answers. Coburger is never going to answer if he
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: did say anything, which he didn't, it would be a lie.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: And the only way they would have found answers is
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: by a trial.
- 1:04:41Speaker 16: Well I don't know if they would have found those
- 1:04:43Speaker 16: answers though, and the prosecution could have absolutely made that
- 1:04:47Speaker 16: a part of the police so there actually was a
- 1:04:49Speaker 16: measure of control that the prosecution controlled. But a trial
- 1:04:53Speaker 16: is not going to, unfortunately, answer a lot of those questions,
- 1:04:58Speaker 16: and the death penalty.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Would all the questions, all the questions about what happened
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: that night, whose room did he enter, who was killed first?
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Did this one hear that one screaming? What did they
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: live through? I still wonder that now, after all these years,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: what did Keith live through? I don't really know what happened?
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: I mean, and that's something that it happens the rest
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: of your life.
- 1:05:25Speaker 16: Morse having been in this situation with a client who
- 1:05:30Speaker 16: was a family member blamed for a crime Mom killed
- 1:05:33Speaker 16: dad and blamed the son. Thankfully the son had me
- 1:05:35Speaker 16: as a lawyer, and to go through and you know,
- 1:05:39Speaker 16: you're the victim of trauma. There is no right answer
- 1:05:43Speaker 16: there's nothing that heals that. So you try this, you
- 1:05:45Speaker 16: try that, you think this will give relief, but a
- 1:05:48Speaker 16: trial will not one thing.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:05:50Speaker 16: In sex cases and murder cases, you have to be
- 1:05:53Speaker 16: very delicate on how you we get depositions in Florida.
- 1:05:57Speaker 15: In criminal cases, you have to be.
- 1:05:59Speaker 16: Very delicate how you litigate a case when there's a
- 1:06:01Speaker 16: victim and those two type things are a victim's family,
- 1:06:04Speaker 16: because you will lose any opportunity to do something decent
- 1:06:07Speaker 16: for your client in resolving the case. So a trial
- 1:06:10Speaker 16: will probably only hurt because you're going to get the
- 1:06:13Speaker 16: horror with maybe one or two of those answers.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: I've never heard an actual victim state a trial only
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: hurt that Scott Morgan went about it.
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: You know, Nancy, we've been covering this case since it
- 1:06:29Speaker 4: happened all this time, and I've got to tell you,
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: there's this one these one moments that I never would
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: have counted on that are going to be etched into
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: my brain. And that's the sound of applause in the courtroom.
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: I never expected it. I know you've handled a lot
- 1:06:45Speaker 4: of cases, you've been in court, and I'm sure you've
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: heard applause before. But the fact that the judge gave
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: them that kind of latitude in there, it kind of,
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: you know, reinforced these comments that the families are making
- 1:07:00Speaker 4: relative to Coburger as he's sitting there and everybody's cheering
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: on and it's almost like you could feel, you could
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: feel this momentum building along the way. And I know
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: that that's very little recompense after everything that has occurred,
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: but that one moment, those moments that were captured in there,
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: of the gallery of plodding in there, these impact statements,
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: it goes to reinforce that all of the people on
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: social media that are out there, that they come up
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: with these crackpot conspiracy theories, the people in that courtroom
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: they're behind these families, They're behind these victims, they support them,
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: and I think that that's what should be remembered.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: Here as we close tonight. I know that there will
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: never be peace, There will never be peace or closure
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: for these victims' families, but I do pray for them
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: with the knowledge that the victims are now resting in peace.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Good Night, friend,
