'The King Road Killings': 911 Call Released

And now that it's been released, the family gave me a statement about it. I'm going to read part of it for you. It says, it's raw, it's jagged, a searing unvarnished truth that no camera could ever hope to capture. Every breath, every cry, every tremor in the voice reveals a reality so cruel, so brutally honest, it cuts deeper than anything fiction could ever devise. It's all so unbelievable.

From 419 to 421, the surviving roommate on the second floor, the one who told authorities she saw someone clad in black in the home, attempts to call not only the roommate on the first floor, but also Zanna Kernodle, Kaylee Gonsalves, and Madison Mogan.

And as we learn about these text messages, we learn about the 911 call. This is all after Coburger's lead attorney, Ann Taylor, has really tried to create some questions about the surviving roommate, about her credibility. And they even bring up this description of bushy eyebrows. And right now, Koberger's defense team does not want her to be able to use that description in court.

Well, right. And actually, in a recent filing, we heard Judge Hipler comment that this roommate had given many interviews and that they essentially told the same version of the same story. He said that this roommate's own statements about her memory or the effects of alcohol were not enough to doubt her reliability. He also said that she was able to consistently articulate what she remembered.

But it's perhaps no surprise that we see the defense trying to throw doubt wherever they can. This is a death penalty case. In fact, that's another development we learned in recent days. The defense has filed a motion to strike the death penalty. And they cited what they say is Koberger's autism spectrum disorder as the reason.
