The PHD student turned murderer, 30, is set to avoid the death penalty after making a plea deal - we asked two legal experts for their opinion on the latest twist in the high-profile case

Major developments happened in two cases that have gripped the nation. In this week's Ask Isaacs, 6 News Anchor Lori Tucker and Attorney Greg Isaacs react to the verdict in the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial and break down the latest in the Bryan Kohberger case.

The high cost of a trial, and the often time-consuming nature of it along with appeals which can stretch out for many years, make them ever-less likely to happen unless a case is both a very close call and highly intractable.

Kohberger is expected in court on July 2 to plead guilty to the murders of four University of Idaho students in a deal to avoid the death penalty.

Bryan Kohberger is charged with four counts of murder in the fatal stabbings of University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.
