This is an interesting angle and I think it is definately a possibility. BK, if guilty, could have simply told his counsel he'd rather plea via standing silence for his own reasons, which could include what you're suggesting. I still haven't found what practical difference standing silent might have for his defense going forward as I'm not sold on it opening up an option for an Alford plea that would otherwise be denied. MOOMOO IMO if guilty, he feared and did not want to risk faltering while physically verbalizing (a lie) in the public spotlight.
Interesting that he originally said he would be "exonerated," and not the more direct statement that he didn't do it, is innocent.
Exhonorated MOO can mean "justified."
