Initially, I was convinced this was a completely and totally different kind of case. Then after BK's arrest, I was, at first, perplexed and then decided like many here that BK was the right suspect, however, the more I delve into this case, the more it looks like this is something completely different than an incel case. So I am now back to my original case theory. You know if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...
I think LE thought that after they arrested BK, they would issue lots of search warrants (which they did) and find many things that linked BK to the roommates, the weapon and other items related to this crime, but apparently their search warrants did not come to fruition according to what his attorney, Anne Taylor has written. I'm still keeping an open mind that the prosecutor surely MUST have something more than the little we know of. But the prosecution and the defense are supposed to have shared everything with each other and AT wrote that there was "precious little" evidence against BK. The information in the PCA is weak and far too easy to tear apart.
I come from a family full of members of LE, military and attorneys, so it is not like I am anti LE or anti-prosecution at all, in fact I'm the total opposite of that. Those are MY people and they are HEROES. But I also know they are human beings and can make mistakes. From what I've seen so far, this case really has me very concerned. And I'm even more concerned about what it means if they have not arrested the right person(s) because that is terrifying.
However, I remain open minded to hearing the prosecutions case. Perhaps once I hear it, I will be reassured that they have the correct defendant.
Yet, you are unable (to my way of thinking) to narrow down your concerns to anything specific. Why did you think it was an incel case? It is likely not - and maybe more of another kind of ideology case. IMO. Yes, if it walks like duck is a good motto - and it fits in this case, but I cannot conclude (at all) that Kohberger is not the duck. He fits everything about the duck that I know of in the criminology literature - but can't be convicted on that, obviously.
Why do you think the warrants produced nothing? They are all under seal. Even past warrants and their results have information removed and even some MSM have taken articles down or altered them. IMO. To protect BK's rights.
You seem not to understand that there's no way that human thinking can be shared in discovery (which the law acknowleges) OR that machine thinking is even more opaque. When LE run license plates and the DMV spits out an owner's name - it is what it is. The owner has been discovered and if for some reason, they have neglected to change ownership (or whatever) it's now ON THEM to prove compliance.
BK doesn't have to "prove" anything, but when the DNA from the sheath was run, it matched with a relative of his, and then with his dad, and then with HIM. Four steps. Good investigation. Much like using a phone book.
Just to change the topic, what are your thoughts on this defendant waiving his right to a speedy trial? To me, this speaks volumes, as anyone who is wrongfully arrested does *not* (these days) take that path. His Defense is struggling - hard! - to say that one tiny bit of the process was undocumented (but has not ONCE challenged the DNA itself - found on the sheath and found in Kohberger's mouth).
What do you make of that? I mean, it's obvious that's going to be the case-in-main, so if his buccal swab matches the sheath - will you think they at least had cause for arrest? It's also true that there is phone data, a return to the scene of the crime, a return to the circuit of the crime (the southern route), and the car videos.
Are you really saying that if I leave my DNA on a component of a murder weapon, admit to being out and about during the hours where the murder was committed (and without witnesses), I turn my phone off before arriving near the murder scene, turning it back on some time after the killings, and **return to the scene of the crime** - I should not be on a Judge's radar?
What is needed then? Actual video of every crime that's committed? For me, since I know this ripples through the whole Justice system, I have to think that nearly every thief, armed robber and carjacker would go free if we could not use a confluence of events to arrest. The arrestee then gets every chance to provide a defense (in this case, so far technical issues and not matters of fact - Defense admits no one knew where Kohberger was that night and that he was out "driving around.")
When a property crime occurs, DNA labs are so over run that we cannot (where I live) expect that sort of investigation - not even fingerprints. So, we're down to using these techniques for only the murders or other crimes with mayhem. Not all murders get this kind of investigation - the FBI crime lab was on site to run victim DNA and separate the results from Other DNA right away.
Yet despite these incredible advances and (IMO) an impeccable investigation, we have people who think the confluence of events
is not enough even for an arrest! My ex was ARRESTED for jay-walking! (At a college football game! I could go on!)
An arrestee gets many chances to have their case heard (that's what we're witnessing). And the Judge keeps ruling and still the arrest stands. The Defense wants to throw out the GJ, but still IT STANDS because a Judge (impartial oversee of trial) says it does.
This is not convincing to you? It's not as if (at the end of this week) we don't have more corroboration that the Judge thinks Kohberger should remain under arrest until a trier of fact (a jury) can hear the whole case.
Obviously, AT and her group do not want the entire case to ever be heard (wait till they attack the autopsy results) because it's gruesome, tragic, horrifying, a tremendous burden to even THINK about). Why am I here? Because i decided long ago that if victims and their families have to bear the burden of a legal process after their family members are brutally murdered (or raped or beaten sensesless), then so do I, as a citizen. Do I think Kohberger should be free of arrest? No, not at all. I want to hear his defense.
But he and his team have decided to delay that defense indefinitely. Why? What do they wish we would not hear? Because I know for a fact that just the autopsies are going to bring a grim reality to this case that most of us cannot even imagine.
IMO.
