I believe that Brian Kohberger modeled himself after Bundy and that he targeted the house at 1122 King Road with Maddie being his first attack. My impression is that had Ethan not been there, BK would have killed all 5 girls. BK, in my opinion, wanted to start where Bundy left off.

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BRYAN KOHBERGER HEARING
Defense said they will introduce a "second suspect" evidence using a "second murder weapon" during the trial
During the April 9 hearing on Wednesday before Ada County Judge Steven Hippler, prosecutors and defense argued over a slew of motions ahead of the August 11 trial of accused killer Bryan Kohberger. He is facing the death penalty in connection with the November 13, 2022, stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.
WORD POLICE
The prosecution can't call Bryan Kohberger a "sociopath" or a "psychopath" during the trial. They can use the word "murder" during jury selection and opening statements but not during the trial. Judge Steven Hippler sternly warned that if either side argues, before closing remarks at the end of the trial, that Kohberger committed the murders, he said, "I will shut you down faster than you can imagine."
KOHBERGER'S FAMILY CALLED TO TESTIFY
Prosecutors will call "a few" of Kohberger's family members to testify during the trial despite the defense saying his family has "no interest" in helping the prosecution. Kohberger's attorneys said that although his family stands by him and will attend the trial to support him, they didn't have the money to fly in for the April 9th hearing in Boise, Idaho.
The judge told prosecutors to call the family members at the beginning of the trial, so they won't be excluded from attending the entire trial. He added, "With a three-month trial, the trial schedule will not be held hostage to your narrative." Ironically, the defense asked the judge for a "level of humanity" for Kohberger's family. The judge said he will ask the state to use humanity and issue a written order later. We wonder what the victims' families think about this.
COLLEGE PAPER ALLOWED IN
Kohberger's college paper from May 2020, when he was a graduate student at DeSales University, his how-to clean up a crime scene paper, will be allowed in as evidence.
His trial starts August 11 with jury selection starting a few weeks before.
AUGUST 21, 2022, POLICE STOP OF KOHBERGER NEAR THE HOUSE
Judge Hippler will review the publicly not seen police bodycam video of August 21, 2022, when Kohberger was pulled over for speeding and not wearing his seat belt at night in Moscow, ID, near the 1122 King Road house before it's shown to the jury. Prosecutors use it to show that Kohberger drives the white Elantra and lives in Pullman. The defense argued the video is prejudicial against him because he's stopped for speeding and not wearing a seat belt. The judge said the video is relevant and poses "zero danger"; the jury will make the leap from no seat belt and speeding to murder.
Defense unsuccessfully tried to get the term "touch DNA" from being used during the trial, and portions of the 911 call will be played for the jury, but not the part when one of the callers tells the dispatcher, "and a man was inside the home last night."
3D "DOLLHOUSE" MODEL OF CRIME SCENE
The judge is considering the prosecution's request for a 3D "dollhouse" model of the home where the crime occurred, despite the defense arguing against it. And the prosecution can have their experts talk about Kohberger's Amazon click activity relating to purchasing the knife eight months before the murders.
DOES HE HAVE AUTISM?
The defense wants the jury to be told that Kohberger has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and his demeanor in court is odd because of it. The prosecution says it is not relevant and should not be allowed in. The judge said, "I haven't seen anything unusual in his demeanor. I'm not scrutinizing him on YouTube the way others are." He'll decide later on this matter.
THE DEATH PENALTY AND LORI VALLOW
Finally, the defense tried two ways to get the death penalty off the table. First, they claimed that Kohberger has ASD and therefore the death penalty should be taken away. Second, Kohberger's attorney, Anne Taylor, argued the "Vallow" decision. Because prosecutors in Doomsday Mom Lori Vallow's murder trial in 2023 failed to turn over discovery to her defense team promptly, Judge Boyce in Idaho ruled that the death penalty in her case was off the table to balance Vallow's due process.
Judge Hippler did not agree with Taylor's arguments that this case was anything like the Vallow case. From the beginning, Taylor complained that the other side was slow to turn over the mountains of discovery, and she could not possibly go through it all in time for trial.
He shot right back, saying, "Why did you take on another death penalty case if you were overwhelmed with this one?" We applaud the judge for calling Taylor out on this. Chris talked about this very thing in past videos.
Further, Hippler asked Taylor, "Why didn't you bring a motion earlier than this?" He is expected to rule on this in the coming weeks.
