But isn't the DNA - touch dna or trace dna?

Same thing.

You touch an object and leave skin cells rather than extracting DNA a differnt way like through blood or saliva.

DNA on the sheath is a connection, MOO so the prosecution is just not answering ATs standard media bite geared arguments.

Yes!!!!

THAT is a huge connection

true but I've heard that touch dna can be transferable.

I went through various photos online of servers at The Mad Greek. I was not able to locate an employee photo with a name tag of any kind. IMO, BK could not have located the address of any of the residents of 1122 King Rd without at least knowing a first and last name, but I’m unconvinced he had that opportunity.

Still waiting to hear from BT, what if any, victim was known to BK prior to 11/13/22.

You don't need a name tag to figure out a server's name, especially a college student working in a college town. If he sat back quietly and listened, there would be many opportunities to hear someone say her name---co-worker or otherwise.

He could have asked her what her name was . Or asked someone else.[hands money to cashier] " I want to leave this tip for my server---I don't remember her name---The petite one with blonde ponytail ?"--- Oh yeah, do you mean Maddie?

Single Source male DNA found on the snap of the knife sheath was very unlikely to have been 'transferred' there.IMO

If the person using the snap had just touched BK and had his skin cells on his fingers, when he opened the sheath, where was his DNA?

Normally there'd be a mix of both DNAs if it was transferred by 3rd party.

Not into a crevice of a snap. This is DNA left from handling the sheath.

which also explains why the defense able to make the claim that there is no connection between the victims and their client which the prosecution has never pushed back on this claim still to this day, in either in court hearings or in court documents.

I think that it’s possible that Prosecutors think they have evidence of a connection and the defense simply disagrees. As those connections would need to be proven in court.

So IMO, simply “that’s not BKs car outside Mad Greeks, the video is grainy” or “that’s not BKs email account, someone else used his IP” or “that’s not BKs social media account, the username doesn’t match up” could mean “no connections”.

There are examples of suspects practically caught red handed (IMO) and their defense attorneys still insist that they didn’t commit the act.

I agree with this and IMO, I think that the prosecution would have offered a plea deal to the suspect if the weapon used was located.

Edited by me for focus

Wouldn’t it be the opposite? If they found the knife on his person a plea deal would be less likely. IMO.

Or at least IMO I’ve never thought about plea deals in that way (solely in the hands of the defendant). I’ve always seen them as a way to either be somewhat lenient on a person deserving of said leniency or for prosecutors to hedge on cases that they don’t think are strong enough.

I don’t think they’d give BK a plea deal even if he wanted one. This case is beyond rock solid and would have been a death penalty case regardless of BKs wishes. IMO

To quote a famous fictitious detective

“when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?”

BKs problem is that once we eliminate the impossible what we are left with isn’t improbable at all. It’s the obvious.

MOO

Not into a crevice of a snap. This is DNA left from handling the sheath.

Single source epithelial cells on the use point (of a leather good).

It's sort of like a disposable razor. An item that afawk only one person has used and now the razor contains their DNA. The only way to place someone elses' DNA on it would be to shave them without their knowledge somehow (whilst possibly wearing a glove OR that person knew their DNA would be impossible to detect if the "razor" were tested).

The only thing I can say about the possibility of someone other than BK would be that epithelial cells are likely easier to "leave behind" as opposed to body fluids as those would need to be "fresh" in order to be effective. JMO. Also, as some of us have learned, it is difficult to test leather fwiw!
