Practically the same chair!  Except, unlike the Daybell Killers, Kohberger was in the hot seat, admitting his guilt, out loud TO THE WORLD.

It started with a traffic stop, and ended with a married teacher sobbing in the back of a police car, asking if she was in trouble... But prosecutors say Christina Formella was more than just a teacher... They say she was a full-blown PREDATOR.  According to investigators, Christina Formella allegedly groomed a 14-year-old student over the course of two years, coaching him in soccer, tutoring him before school, and engaging in what they describe as an obsessive and illegal sexual relationship. And the evidence was ACTUALLY found in the teacher's phone: texts, manifestation lists, and a Notes app diary where she called the boy “disgusting” for cheating on her. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield analyzes the twisted case of Christina Formella and the digital trail that could put her behind bars for decades.
