MOSCOW, IDAHO: Idaho murders suspect, Bryan Kohberger, was a teaching assistant in his criminology class and had a reputation of being a strict grader. One of the students in the class named Hayden Stinchfield claimed that Kohberger's grading style completely changed after the murders and he "started grading everybody just 100s."
Regarding this shift in his demeanour, body language expert Patti Wood told The US Sun, "This would make sense if he is indeed the man behind the gruesome murders. Once he was hiding from the law, it would make sense to tone down the behavior," she added. "What's happening initially [when he was a tough grader] is he is showing his power, and showing his control and showing off by making lots of comments," Patti explained. "In this case, it would be giving less feedback - you try to look like you're not guilty, so you would give easier grades. It's a way of hiding by suppressing. When you are hiding from the law, you pull back, you communicate less," Patti concluded. She also explained that his behaviour was of someone trying to supress anger according to his expresions in his extradition hearing.

"He just didn't look like he was doing great."
"It was just like, totally jarring, totally shocking to realize that this person who had been grading my papers was allegedly this horrible murderer." he added.
