The Autism Defense Explained – Could It Work for Bryan Kohberger?
Did the defense just throw a Hail Mary pass or is there actual legal weight to the claim that Bryan Kohberger’s alleged crimes should be reconsidered due to autism? Just when you thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre, we now have fingernail DNA evidence in the mix, a 911 call from the surviving roommates finally coming to light, and the defense pushing a surprise autism-based death penalty challenge. And let’s not forget—Idaho still has the firing squad on the table.
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to dissect whether this autism defense is a legitimate strategy or just another desperate attempt to humanize Kohberger before trial. Can autism truly mitigate responsibility in a case like this, or is this just another twist in an already twisted legal chess match?
