Can Bryan Kohberger's "Moonlit Alibi" Stand in Court? Insights from Eric Faddis

The Idaho Murders | The Case Against Bryan Kohberger

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," attorney Eric Faddis discusses the latest developments in the case against Bryan Kohberger, focusing on his newly claimed alibi. Kohberger claims he was out driving alone at night, observing the moon and stars, during the time of the alleged crimes. The defense plans to support this with testimony from a cell phone tower and radio frequency expert. Faddis critiques the alibi as traditional defenses usually require an alibi witness, which Kohberger lacks. The discussion also covers the strategic risks and potential impacts of introducing such an alibi, considering the existing evidence, including cell phone triangulation data that places Kohberger at the crime scene with his phone turned off during the critical times. Faddis and Brueski discuss the implications for Kohberger's defense, questioning the logic and effectiveness of presenting an alibi that might be perceived as hollow or easily contestable in court.
