I have seen similar situations with parents who have toxic/evil children. Sometimes they are codependent, through wounds from their own life experiences, but they are indeed victims. No one wants to believe their child is what BK has turned out to be.

Good morning all! We can hypothesize on any number of scenarios about the was going on in the house that morning. I was never a college roommate, but I still totally get the college roommate code. I think personality also plays into it - whether someone is a charge ahead and do something even...

I shouldn't be surprised that Blum's theory is that BK met M at the Mad Greek, even though the owner insists he was never there. I know we discussed that at some length and some of us did wonder if the owner could know for sure if he had been there and perhaps paid with cash. I would be curious...

I understand. :) I just don't think he's capable of any concern for other people. I just don't think they matter to him.

I'm not sure he worries about anyone else. It just doesn't seem to be in his emotional makeup. Over time, I've come to feel that he wanted to know whether he was the only suspect on their radar, so he would know whether this was IT, or if he still had some chance of walking away.

Not to split hairs, I agree it isn't the prosecutor's job to find out where BK was all evening. And yes, providing an alibi is the defense's job. BUT if the prosecution can't prove BK was at the crime scene, he shouldn't be on trial. MOOooo

Your theory of the murders is a good one, as is the idea that he wanted to kill them, and so he did it. I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering whether one of these, or something entirely different, turns out to be the state's theory of the case. Or whether they opt to just present proof that he did...

Exactly! And neither can AT say "well, maybe poor little Brian touched the sheath somewhere in a store....." so he's innocent. There has to be proof of that.

That's certainly possible, although we know he left it on for many trips to the house/area.

I 100% agree. For me, both the "BK just happened to innocently touch the sheath somewhere/sometime and BK was framed are both just too contrived. Even if BK touched but didn't buy a knife sheath in a retail store, we have to assume said sheath remained in the store, and was likely touched by...

This is such an excellent point. My phone has not been turned off since the day I got it. I have put it on vibrate or silent mode, airplane mode when required, and I put it in do not disturb mode every night at bedtime, with certain people excluded for emergencies. It's been rebooted for...

I completely agree. I was just responding to the comment that he couldn't document his "star gazing" since his phone was in airplane mode. Personally, I would like to snap AT's fishing pole right in half! LOL

I have taken pictures during flights, so he could still document his alleged stargazing. :) After all the discussion about tracking his phone, I began to wonder if there really are ways to keep your phone from being tracked. I'm sure there are more technical sources for this somewhere but my...

This is very insightful. :) He must have been carrying a lot of pressure around with him every waking moment. And, if he had been planning a crime against the house or the people living there, it seems logical that he felt he was running out of time to put his plan into motion. Already under...

Fair enough, but does anyone really think the killer carried this sheath plus a separate weapon and sheath to the crime scene, then struggled with the victims on the bed, and left only the one empty sheath behind? Or even that the killer carried an unsheathed weapon, plus a separate empty...

Respectfully, we don't know that the DNA is the only evidence that ties BK to the murders. Everyone has done a very good job of keeping everything quiet, as they should due to the gag order. No sources who "spoke anonymously because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the case" going...

People in this line of work have years of experience being VERY careful in their choice of words. Very much like politicians, which is not intended to be complimentary, LOL. A lot of this is just theatre to them. They are creating an impression they want the public/potential jury pool to have...

Well... there are a very limited number of places someone can leave their phone, besides their home or car, and be confident it will still be there when they return. Leaving it home would be the least risky place to leave it and would make it possibly to argue that he's at home even if he's not...

I'm not sure why it matters whether the phone was stationary or in motion. Clearly the phone was with him because he turned it on again after the murders. He could have turned it off and left it in the car or stuffed it in the deep pocket of his coveralls. The smart move would have been to...

Discovery by definition is what the prosecution intends to use at trial as well as any exculpatory evidence. IANAL, but based on what I read, I don't think the prosecution was obligated to turn over the 98% (estimate) of the video they were not intending to use at trial and it did not appear to...
