In this documentary, the first one released after the legal proceedings concluded, award winning documentary filmmaker and producer Joel Berlinger (Paradise Lost - The West Memphis Three) and Director Skye Borgman cover the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. Bryan Kohberger plead guilty to the murders in July 2025 and was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 10 years for killing Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogan, Kaylee Goncalves and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger recently filed a petition for post conviction relief to withdraw his guilty plea. In this episode we discuss episode 1 of the documentary as well as Kohberger's recent petition.
