Kohberger attorney represented parent of victim in Moscow homicides before taking his case

Up until taking his case, Bryan Kohberger’s court-appointed public defender was actively representing a parent of one of the four Moscow stabbing victims her client is accused of killing, court records show.

Anne Taylor, chief of the Kootenai County Public Defender’s Office, filed an attorney withdrawal notice in Kootenai County Court for the parent on Jan. 5 — the same day Kohberger made his first court appearance in Idaho in Latah County.

The parent previously was sentenced on unrelated misdemeanor charges. In that case, as well as another where the parent faces two felony charges, the public defender’s office withdrew in favor of a local criminal defense attorney unrelated to Taylor or the county’s public defender’s office. The new attorney is listed as the “conflict public defender” in court documents.

WHAT? Two parents of two of the victims in the Moscow, ID murders were being defended on various charges - two felony charges and one misdemeanor! I’ll be judgmental here and speak of parents bad influence (which it appears) on their children! I figured the parents of all the students were financially supported by their parents as nothing was ever said about any of them having part time jobs to pay for tuition or other expenses - such as rent. Does ID have free tuition for state residents?

After the story this morning of the LA (not L.A.) student being raped/killed, you can’t help but wonder how parents can send their kids off to college knowing “partying” is the name of the game - not education. And paying BIG BUCKS for the privilege! Speaking too generally? Maybe.

Sure, “the daddy has a felony or two hanging over his head” does not fit the current narrative.

The unfortunate young woman in Louisiana had a blood alcohol level of 0.312. Something like six drinks in two hours. She apparently was released/dumped and staggered onto the road. The accused claim it was consensual, though she may not have been in condition to “consent”.

You really have to wonder about what’s going on in American higher education. Other than CRT.

It has been reported that two of the victims' parents had legal issues in the past. One's mother was jailed right around the time of the murders for possession with the intent to deliver.

It has been reported that two of the victims worked as waitresses at the time of the murder.

It’s truly sad that their world is all about “me.” I would never have dreamed of posing for pictures like that girl did when I was that age (or any age). It was like Hollywood was just around the corner for her. I grew up in small town America and our focus was on family and school activities. We earned our money babysitting, cleaning houses, mowing lawns, raking leaves, shoveling snow - my mother even volunteered me to iron for a neighbor lady. I did NOT thank her for that but I did it every Monday after school!
