In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," former FBI Special Agent and daily contributor Jennifer Coffindaffer joins host Tony Brueski to discuss the ongoing trial of Brian Kohberger and the strategies of his defense attorney, Anne Taylor. The conversation delves into Taylor's resistance to having cameras in the courtroom, the pain this case has caused the victim's families, and the potential outcomes of upcoming legal decisions.
 
 Taylor has been adamantly opposed to having cameras in the courtroom from the start, a point Coffindaffer notes might be due to Kohberger's unsettling appearance. Despite attempts to clean him up, Coffindaffer suggests that Kohberger has a "maniacal appearance," which Taylor may be trying to avoid showcasing to the public. Brueski and Coffindaffer also highlight the frustration and pain experienced by the victim's families as they witness the careful treatment of Kohberger compared to the grim reality they face of never seeing their children again.
 
 As the conversation progresses, Coffindaffer speculates on the actions likely to be taken by the defense and prosecution in the lead-up to the trial, following the decision to waive the speedy trial. She anticipates that the defense will file numerous motions in an attempt to withhold evidence from being introduced. Although she does not believe that the grand jury indictment will be overturned, Coffindaffer acknowledges that there is a real possibility that the judge might rule against having cameras in the courtroom. She also discusses the upcoming hearing on September 22nd, where the prosecution will need to address the 24 points made in Taylor's motion to dismiss, including an accusation that the prosecution withheld exculpatory information.
 
 Coffindaffer expresses confidence in the prosecution, stating that the prosecutor has decades of experience and a history of success in high-profile cases. She dismisses the notion that any malfeasance occurred on the prosecution's part, explaining that claims of withholding information are a routine defense tactic in pretrial settings. She recalls a recent hearing where the judge admonished Taylor for not believing the prosecutor's assertions, emphasizing that both parties are sworn court representatives.
 
 The discussion between Brueski and Coffindaffer sheds light on the complexities and emotional underpinnings of the Brian Kohberger case. From the challenges faced by the defense in managing Kohberger's public image to the heart-wrenching experiences of the victim's families, the case has been fraught with tension. As legal proceedings continue, all parties involved must navigate a landscape of legal technicalities, public perception, and the quest for justice.
