Should Bryan Kohberger Explain Himself?
President Trump wants Bryan Kohberger to spill the beans and give the families of victims some closure. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. Bryan Kohberger, the admitted killer of 4 innocent Idaho college kids, has escaped the death penalty with his guilty plea bargain, but that's not enough for President Trump. In a truth social post, the president expressed the popular sentiment that Kohberger ought to explain why he did those horrific things to young people he seemingly didn't even know. Trump also stated that the judge should compel Kohberger to offer the explanation, though there's no precedent for that demand. It's important to note Kohberger wouldn't have necessarily been forced to provide or detail, a motive, or explanation for his actions if this case had gone to trial, but the families and the public would certainly have been given more information and perhaps, more closure. We may never know what went on in the mind of a cold blooded killer, but the families deserve more than they are getting. As we await sentencing we pray for peace for the families, the community, and the deceased. I'm Tomi Lahren and you can watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices.
