Bryan Kohberger's has filed a 40-page motion to continue the trial, arguing they are not ready and need more time for investigation and preparation, particularly for the death penalty phase. The defense is also concerned about a Dateline special that aired, featuring non-public information allegedly leaked from law enforcement or the prosecution. They argue the special was prejudicial and portrayed Kohberger negatively. In addition, a forthcoming book by James Patterson titled "The Idaho Four: American Tragedy" is also cited as a major concern. The book claims to have "unmatched access" to the investigation and is set to be released shortly before jury selection in July. The defense argues it will further prejudice the jury pool. The court had previously issued a non-dissemination order to restrict the release of certain information. The defense argues that both the Dateline special and the book appear to violate this order. The defense asserts that proceeding with the trial as scheduled would violate Kohberger's constitutional rights, including the right to a fair trial, due process, and effective counsel. The defense suggests that a trial delay might not be the only remedy, hinting at the possibility of further motions, such as removing the death penalty or dismissing the case.RESOURCESPrevious Podcast Episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAF8jCkNKn4 Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Five Legal Time Bombs in the Kohberger Case That Could Explode at Trial Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us for a deep dive into the legal chess match unfolding in the Bryan Kohberger case. As Kohberger faces capital murder charges for the killings of four University of Idaho students, his defense team has filed a motion to delay the trial, citing constitutional violations and incomplete forensic and psychological investigations. But as Faddis explains, there's much more going on beneath the surface. This isn't just about trial prep—it's about preserving appellate leverage. The motion to continue includes references to landmark Supreme Court cases like Wiggins v. Smith and Powell v. Alabama, invoking the concept of “heightened reliability” required in death penalty proceedings. Kohberger's attorneys argue they need more time to complete a full “life history” mitigation investigation—one that includes trauma, mental health evaluations, and multi-generational background records. According to Faddis, these steps are standard in capital cases, but failing to do them thoroughly could open the door to a future reversal on appeal. We also unpack how the defense is weaponizing media coverage, including the recent Dateline NBC special and James Patterson's upcoming book, to argue that Kohberger cannot receive a fair trial under current conditions. Faddis provides expert commentary on whether this pretrial publicity genuinely threatens the jury pool—or if it's a calculated move to frame a potential mistrial argument before trial even begins. Is this defense strategy brilliant or overplayed? What forensic evidence still hasn't been fully vetted? And how is this shaping up to be one of the most complicated capital trials in recent memory? Faddis brings clarity to a case that's anything but clear. #BryanKohberger #EricFaddis #KohbergerTrial #TrueCrimeAnalysis #DeathPenaltyDefense #ForensicLaw #IdahoMurders #KohbergerEvidence #CapitalTrial #CriminalJusticeSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

10 Reasons Kohberger's Lawyers Say the Trial Must Be Delayed Bryan Kohberger's defense team just filed a critical motion to delay his August 2025 trial—and the stakes couldn't be higher. This video dives into the explosive details of that motion and why his lawyers are arguing that going to trial now could violate multiple constitutional rights and permanently damage the integrity of the case. Kohberger, charged with the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, is facing the death penalty. His defense says that “death is different”—and legally, they're right. In capital cases, the standards are higher, the investigations deeper, and the procedural requirements stricter. In this in-depth breakdown, we unpack how the defense is using precedent from landmark Supreme Court cases like Wiggins v. Smith and Powell v. Alabama to argue for more time to prepare. But there's more. The motion accuses law enforcement of possible leaks to the media, points to damaging pretrial publicity from NBC's Dateline and an upcoming James Patterson book, and raises the alarm over the inability to seat an impartial jury. Kohberger's attorneys say the trial can't be fair unless they're given time to complete their discovery review, hire key expert witnesses, and finish a legally required “life history” investigation that could determine whether he lives or dies. This isn't speculation—it's strategy. Defense teams often build the foundation for appeals before trial even begins. If this motion is denied and the trial proceeds, Kohberger's team will have documented every issue they believe could later overturn a conviction or death sentence. Join us as we break down what this motion means, how it could reshape the entire trial timeline, and why this may be one of the most legally important motions filed so far in the Kohberger case. #BryanKohberger #TrueCrime #KohbergerTrial #IdahoMurders #DeathPenalty #MurderTrial #ForensicLaw #KohbergerDefense #MediaLeaks #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

James Patterson has sold more than 425 million books over the past 30 years, making him one of the richest and most successful authors in the world. At 78 years old and entering the final stage of his career, Patterson has legions of fans devoted to his brand of psychological thrillers and police procedurals, and he can effectively write about anything he wants, whenever he wants. So what's the king of paperback fiction doing writing a book about fatherhood? On this episode of Paternal, Patterson discusses the motivations for his new how-to manual The #1 Dad Book and what he's learned from his own experience as a father, and how to turn kids on to reading. He also reflects on the life of his own dad, who grew up in a poorhouse in upstate New York without ever knowing who his father was. Patterson's latest, The #1 Dad Book, is available wherever you buy books.

Lindsay is joined by author Samuel Marquis to discuss his book, “Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal,” which will be released on May 13, 2025, by Diversion Books. Captain Kidd has captivated imaginations for over 300 years and inspired many stories about pirates, but was he a criminal? Just how many ships did he plunder, how many men did he force to walk the plank, and how many throats did he slit? Or is the truth more inconvenient, that he was a buccaneer's worst nightmare, a revered pirate hunter turned fall guy for scheming politicians? In “Captain Kidd,” Marquis reveals the real story. Kidd was an English-American privateer and a leading New York husband and father, dubbed “trusty and well-beloved” by the King of England himself and described by historians as a “worthy, honest-hearted, steadfast, much-enduring sailor” who was the “victim of a deliberate travesty of justice.” With honors far more esteemed than the menacing Blackbeard or any other sea rover at the turn of the 17th century, how can Kidd be considered both a gentleman and pirate, both hero and villain? The ninth-great-grandson of legendary privateer Captain William Kidd, Samuel Marquis, M.S., P.G., is a professional hydrogeologist, expert witness, and bestselling, award-winning author of 12 American nonfiction-history, historical fiction, and suspense books, covering primarily the period from colonial America through WWII. His American history and historical fiction books have been #1 Denver Post and Amazon bestsellers, and have received multiple national book awards in both fiction and nonfiction categories, including the Kirkus Reviews and Foreword Reviews Book of the Year, American Book Fest and USA Best Book, Readers' Favorite, and the Colorado Book Awards. His historical titles have also garnered glowing reviews from #1 bestseller James Patterson, maritime historians, U.S. military veterans, Kirkus Reviews, and Foreword Reviews (5 Stars). His pirate book, “Blackbeard: The Birth of America,” has been an Amazon #1 Bestseller in U.S. Colonial Period History. The Marquis lives with his wife in Louisville, Colorado, where they raised their three children. Become a member on Buy Me A Coffee for as little as $1/month to support the show.

Wendy Walker: Greyhound (1 1/2 ounces vodka, 2 1/2 ounce grapefruit juice)Wendy shares the meticulous approach she took to becoming a bestselling author that began with learning what kind of fiction works for the market, describes what she likes about James Patterson's "winning structural formula", describes her early careers as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs and then as a corporate attorney, tells how motherhood brought her out of the workforce then returned her to a career as a novelist, lists the greatest plot twist ever, and reveals the strangest question she's ever gotten at a book event.
From advertising exec to America's storyteller-in-chief: prolific author James Patterson shares his blueprint for turning creative chaos into literary gold. What We Discuss with James Patterson: Highly prolific author James Patterson maintains success through daily consistency — writing 350-365 days per year, getting up at 5:30 a.m., and viewing his work as "playing" rather than working. This dedication has led to over 400 million books sold. James' creative process involves extensive outlining (60-80 pages) but staying flexible within that structure. He keeps multiple projects (around 30) going simultaneously and moves between them if he gets stuck on one. James' breakthrough moment came when he realized he was "on the wrong side of the highway" — stuck in advertising traffic heading to a job he didn't want, while watching others freely driving in the opposite direction. This led him to leave his successful advertising career to write full-time. James' writing philosophy focuses on respecting the reader's time by following Leonard Elmore's advice to "leave out the parts people skip" and ensuring each chapter compels readers to turn the page. He emphasizes storytelling over showing off literary prowess. Anyone can improve their writing and creativity by breaking tasks into manageable pieces: if you're stuck, skip to another section and come back later; don't get too attached to any particular piece of writing; and remember that first drafts don't need to be perfect — you can always revise and refine your work as you go along.
