The Spin


Narrative A

While Kohberger has yet to be proven guilty, his arrest and decision to waive extradition is a major turning point in a complicated and heinous case. The suspect — ironically hailed a brilliant academic in the field of criminology — made some of the most elementary mistakes that led to his arrest. It's now time for the full force of the court to bring justice to the victims and their families.


Narrative B

While this latest development is a breakthrough, Kohberger should be presumed innocent until proven guilty and no conclusions should be drawn before this trial plays out. Authorities should be left to investigate, and the victim's families should be allowed to mourn without the intrusion from social media, which has tainted an already tragic case with rumors and speculation.
