Corr Cronin partner and retired Superior Court Judge Timothy Bradshaw is serving as a legal commentator for the closely watched trial of Bryan Kohberger, the former Washington State University student charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students. As the case continues to draw national attention, Tim is working with media outlets to help explain key developments, legal strategies, and the broader implications for the justice system.

With a decade of experience on the King County Superior Court bench and a distinguished career in both criminal and civil law, Tim brings a rare perspective shaped by years in the courtroom—both as a judge and as a litigator. He is a founding member of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Homicide Unit and led the first DNA prosecution in Washington State history. He regularly lectures and speaks on topics such as forensic evidence and trial advocacy.

In the Kohberger case, Tim’s insights are helping viewers make sense of a complex and emotionally charged legal process. He explains the legal mechanics of the case: how courts typically handle plea offers in death penalty cases, the pressures facing both prosecution and defense, and the legal and strategic reasons why certain deals may be proposed, delayed, or declined. And he is also helping viewers understand the human impact on victims’ loved ones and communities.

Tim continues to provide live legal analysis from Corr Cronin’s Seattle office and on set, helping inform public understanding of one of the most closely followed criminal trials in recent history.
