If he is truly innocent and was actually in Hawaii and has proof of it, why hide? It would be his opportunity to set it all straight. The financial part is most likely past the statute of limitations, so nothing can be done about that if it is.
I just looked at his FB. His last public update/post was on October 25, 2018.
Just a reminder... TR came forward on October 26th
Could be a coincidence, and I can only see what is "public".
I'm not sure why he would have to prove he is own innocence?
Why would he have to do that if he already knows he had no involvement?
I've never seen anyone who isn't charged with a crime have the need or are required to exonerate themselves. That's not how our justice system is designed nor works. It's the opposite actually. Even those who have been accused, and charged with a crime have no legal burden to prove they are innocent. So Merritt is not required to prove he is innocent but DK is???
So why should DK be treated any differently than all who havent even been charged with anything?
I think it's more likely its outsiders who wants him to declare his innocence to satisfy their own curiosity.
I find it rather odd in today's time no one can find DK. If the defense has really subpoenaed DK, signed off by the judge, then the police, even the US Marshals office would be involved.
Has there been any proof offered by the defense showing DK has been issued a subpoena signed off by this judge? Have they showed anyone a copy of the subpoena? Have they had hearings with the judge even though they have a subpoena they are unable to locate him. If so, the judge would immediately get the proper authorities involved and in high gear to locate him.
After all this DT constantly whines to the judge about everything else so surely this has been one of them.
I think it's another defense tactic I've seen happen in a few other cases, where they pretend they cant locate a certain witness because they dont really want the person to testify, and would rather talk about them to the jury instead.
So what's going to happen after their CIC with DK not called, and then he is called in rebuttal by the state?
I'm sure if the state calls DK they will immediately ask him if he has tried to hide out avoiding the defense subpoena or any subpoena for that matter.
So the defense is playing a risky game that could easily backfire.
I have no doubt the state knows his exact location right now. Maybe they should ask the state although I believe the defense also knows where he is.
Its much easier for the defense to claim they can't locate him trying to fool the jury into believing, falsely imo, he is in hiding because he is the one who did these murders.
I think we will learn further along during this unbelievably long trial the state and investigator has had much more contact with DK than some may think.
The state has known for a long time all along DK was going to be targeted by the defense as the SODDI, and, IMO are fully prepared to refute the defense theory.
Imo, they aren't really looking hard to find his location.
It's far better for them to be able to throw up baseless assumptions about HIM rather than actually finding him in order to testify as a witness in their case.
