Bryan Kohberger’s main defense lawyer, Anne Taylor, might be steering clear of media cameras, but she has effectively utilized the high profile of the case to her advantage in her legal strategies within the courtroom.

Before Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall enforced the initial gag order, Taylor opted not to discuss the case when approached by Fox News Digital. Following that, she has also chosen not to engage with further requests for comment.

“It’s rare for defense attorneys to shy away from seeking the limelight and potentially shaping public opinion through press conferences, but there are multiple ways to approach a case,” noted Royal Oakes, a litigator and media analyst based in Los Angeles.

However, that is tough in a case where many updates receive international attention.

Kohberger is accused of killing Mogen, two roommates and another friend in a 4 a.m. home-invasion stabbing spree. There is no publicly known motive, but a concerning detail is that he was studying for a Ph.D. in criminology at the time of the murders.

The other victims were Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

Jack Lu, a retired Massachusetts judge and an adjunct faculty member at the University of Massachusetts Lowell School of Criminology and Justice studies, said Taylor could consider trying to “humanize” her client — but anything else could be dangerous for the defense.

“That case sends a chill down the spine of every professor in a school of criminology in the United States,” he told Fox News Digital.
