I wish every defendant had the representation that BK has. The Angie Dodd case cited above is an infuriating example of coerced confession and wrongful conviction. IGG and Angie's own mother were instrumental in finding the true killer over 20 years after the murder. IMO

And they allegedly used Othram, which is 100% opt-in for law enforcement. The witnesses brought in by the defense had no knowledge of what the FBI actually did during its investigation, just expert testimony about what was possible in an effort to convince the judge it was important for them to...

Okay--which scientific processes do you think the prosecution received and the defense didn't? IMO

Snipped by me--I don't think this is accurate. @Balthazar agrees the defense has not contested the actual match of the dna on the sheath to BK's dna. To my knowledge, the defense has never said the dna on the sheath is not BK's. It's his. There are no known issues with the retrieval...

Bolded by me--which process are you referring to?

You quoted my post that said: Is this true though? This keeps getting repeated as fact and then taken and quoted as fact. The poster said: It is exceedingly troublesome that the prosecution won't turn over the discovery concerning the exact steps it took to retrieve and compare DNA samples...

In a court of law--presumption of innocence is wrapped up in due process in a court of law. It's completely normal for law enforcement to give a press conference after an arrest and tell the public they believe they've arrested the right person.

Snipped by me--Do you have a link for that? IMO

It's actually completely normal and usual for law enforcement to say we have our guy after they've made an arrest. The arrest shouldn't be made unless law enforcement believes this 100%. When has law enforcement ever stood before the public after an arrest and said, "We think we have the right...

Is this true though? This keeps getting repeated as fact and then taken and quoted as fact. The poster said: It is exceedingly troublesome that the prosecution won't turn over the discovery concerning the exact steps it took to retrieve and compare DNA samples. Is this true? Isn't this...

I'm not sure this is the right characterization. The defense was requesting the exact steps the FBI used to come up with a name from the unknown dna left on the sheath using Investigative Genetic Genealogy. The FBI was resisting this discovery request, saying those steps fell under...

I think there's likely a huge difference between what we've seen and what they have. It's all been under seal since the pca so we just don't know how much evidence they do or don't have. IMO

Snipped by me--correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're referring to the motions and hearings regarding the IGG and the defense pushing for the methodology of producing BK's name from the unknown dna (done by the FBI). This is not at all the same thing as contesting that the dna on the...

BK's dna match to the match on the sheath, and the IGG are two very separate and distinct things. To my knowledge, the defense has never contested that BK is a match to the dna on the sheath. They will likely try to convince the jury it got there some other way, but so far they haven't tried...

I think the only place this has ever been mentioned was a Mike Baker article in the New York Times. I think it's possible a source told him Elantra and he heard Sentra. I guess we'll find out at trial if the defense brings it up in cross. IMO

The problem the defense is going to have with the video of the white sedan is, as always, that front license plate. The prosecution will likely show a map of the route they believe BK took that night, with time stamps, phone records, and video of the car they allege is BK's. There's video...

Again, though, I was asking about this statement: Sy Ray said the CAST data he has seen, to date, is exculpatory to BK. That means what he's looked at tells him BK was never at the murder scene the night of the atrocities. That's what exculpatory means. 2cents And I'm wondering why, if Sy Ray...

Agree that this is true. AT just doesn't strike me as a lawyer who would take that chance. How does it benefit her? They got the data from the state so it's not like she can skirt around the intent of the statute, which is to give the prosecution the ability to examine the alibi evidence prior...

Yes, they do say that, but the alibi response filed by the defense doesn't meet the specificity required by Idaho code for an alibi defense. https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/isc.coi/CR29-22-2805/2024/042624-Response-Notice-Defendants-Supplemental-Response-Alibi-Demand.pdf The code says...
