## Resource

Bryan Kohberger admitted in July 2025 to killing Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin at an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho. He was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences. A year later, he filed a handwritten petition claiming he was coerced into a false confession. Now his family has released a statement through ABC News backing his bid for a new trial. Their statement acknowledged the grief of the families. They want what they call a proper trial to get to the truth. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine what drives a family to voluntarily step back into a toxic public narrative when they could stay silent. Scott breaks down the psychology of denial, whether Bryan could be orchestrating his parents from prison, and what that family's public statement does to a convicted killer's ego. A hearing on Kohberger's petition is set for June 2027. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
