Below are some clarifications about (1) Kohberger's attendance shortly after the murders and throughout the semester, (2) Kohberger's attendance as a teaching assistant (TA); and (3) the classroom discussion about the homicides for which Kohberger was present.

For the purposes of my main post, I am not arguing that any of these comments are credible, and I am not arguing in my main post whether any narrative supports the allegations against him. I am merely trying to get the narratives straight.

Kohberger's Attendance

Kohberger was not in classes on Monday, November 14. There has been no official or unofficial confirmation that Kohberger had Monday classes on his course schedule, but someone with a connection to WSU said in this sub today that he only ever had classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

According to ABC's "The King Road Killings" podcast, Kohberger did not attend classes on Monday, November 14. I have not listened to this podcast episode myself, but it's my understanding that they never explain which classes he was alleged to have missed.

Kohberger was present for at least one class on Wednesday, November 16. This class let out early shortly after the Moscow Police Department released a statement at approximately 03:00 PST retracting their statement that there is no threat to the public.

Here are two screenshots taken of a classmate's Reddit posts: https://imgur.com/a/HSY0pSO

1. A female classmate of Kohberger posts on Reddit shortly after the homicides and weeks before Kohberger was identified as a suspect. She says that her class on Wednesday, November 16, was let out early.
2. On December 31, after his arrest, she says that Kohberger was present for the class on Wednesday, November 16.

Kohberger's Attendance as a TA

According to one student, Kohberger regularly attended her class for which he was a TA; according to another student in presumably another class, Kohberger rarely attended class. The students do not indicate a shift in pattern prior to and after the homicides. (He seemed tired after the homicides, but that pattern was consistent with the increased course load at the end of the semester.) Eventually, he was fired as a TA for his performance as a TA and his belligerence towards faculty.

Interview with undergraduate student, CH:

[CH] said that Kohberger attended her class regularly, but since there were two TAs, he typically stood to the side, fiddled with his hands and did not speak to the class much.

Interview with undergraduate student, JF:

Some students had even less interaction with Kohberger, as he only came to class around eight times throughout the semester, said junior criminology major [JF], who had Kohberger as a TA for Criminal Law.

If the class meets three (3) hours per week for sixteen (16) weeks like a typical college course, then

• 3 * 16 = 48
• 8 / 48 = 0.166 ≈ 17%

Eight classes is roughly 17% of the class sessions for that semester.

Interview with undergraduate student, HS:

He was always a little bit spotty on whether or not he would come to class because he had, you know, whatever PhD stuff over the top of it.

The NY Times about the disciplinary action towards Kohberger: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/10/us/idaho-murders-kohberger-fired-wsu.html?unlocked_article_code=2Gu-4KJsUEHIDU2aQdRgKgH9zHc1q7m-dD46v7A2OWzGP34FmHZFUe0h6Sn7kYyKtqYInmjTfWtsCLT8-zDv-L2OeYSaZkLY_cYNPzj0kLgLVb4N0K3KzBZi3IDc8XjtlfdJr80TObEIJNDwEtsC-XGvXvHzZaAibKb_oPQkdt1Wd1YheUF1JOUvByrkNdVcv1KqE02vnGZx2v5CjIjr4rR6cSQW5k6CO4IiG0HqvUPednDdWEhl7iQSOhW4JFyO_yZxpvvLWputw88-TApmdes56EGCj33ilAa8dlv0LdDVDb5m2E3FlRZDdTSkeSPC0W4-WfJXUFVRzLYiV7f3iaeWLx3fdko&smid=url-share

Classroom Discussion about Homicides

Kohberger was silent for at least one classroom discussion about the quadruple-homicide.

Ben Roberts shared four courses that semester with Kohberger and said that Kohberger was present for a classroom discussion about the homicides. The Idaho Statesman said that this classroom discussion occurred shortly before the week of December 12, when the semester ended:

As a result, Kohberger’s non-participation in a lengthy conversation about the Moscow homicides stands out in retrospect, said the master’s student. The person said they had four classes with the man now sitting in the Latah County Jail, including a courts and legal process class where the killings were discussed before the semester ended the week of Dec. 12.

The NY Post misquoted Roberts in the Idaho Statesman article and said that the discussion occurred on December 12:

Roberts said Kohberger “sat front and center, and was not hiding or tucking back in the back. He was right there in the middle of it.”

But his demeanor took an abrupt turn during a courts and legal process class where the Nov. 13 murders were discussed on Dec. 12, the master’s student said.

“He was completely silent,” the former classmate told the news outlet.

TMZ also misquoted Roberts in the Idaho Statesman article and said that Kohberger took part in four classroom discussions about the homicides:

However, Roberts also says he remembers Kohberger suspiciously going radio silent in the later fall months of the semester -- around the time the quadruple murder happened, which was brought up in at least 4 different classes he says they shared.

(Emphasis in three quotes mine.)

Conclusion

These narratives together suggest that (1) Kohberger was not in class on Monday, November 14, possibly because he didn't have Monday classes in his course schedule; (2) Kohberger returned to class by Wednesday, November 16; (3) Kohberger had regular attendance in one class and probably irregular attendance in another; and (4) Kohberger was present for at least one graduate classroom discussion about the homicides. (Although if you count the November 16 class as having a discussion about the homicides insofar as the class was let out early, then that is two discussions about the homicides for which Kohberger was present.)
