Wacky Def. Scenarios? SODDI? Was BCK Framed?
.... Maybe Kohberger will try to argue that he was framed—.... [[[al66pine deleting details]]]
It's a wacky defense, but we've seen other wacky defense scenarios create reasonable doubt with juries....
snipped for focus.

Yes, agreeing w you re Casey A’s homicide acquittal in FL. as an example of wacky outcome.
For SODDI to hold here, seems BCK needs a witness on the stand testifying (testiLYING?) that s/he saw the classic “shaggy-haired dude” hanging around Bryan’s office (to lift car & apt keys), ditto someone skulking in or out of BCK’s apt (to plant items taken from 1122 King Rd). Plus same re leaving/planting knife sheath at crime scene.
Assuming for sake of discussion, witness(es) cover(s) those points. One more possible big HURDLE for def to explain away for jury to acquit?
IIRC, PCA says BCK’s DNA was found on knife sheath snap, silent re elsewhere on sheath.
Were other places on sheath tested? Was BCK’s DNA found elsewhere on it?
If sheath belonged to BCK, then seems his DNA would be found elsewhere on sheath, just from handling it, b/c an “Innocent BCK” had no reason to try to wipe DNA off.
If shaggy-haired dude took BCK’s sheath (& knife?) to frame BCK, he had no reason to wipe it or try to wipe an item that presumably should have BCK’s DNA in multiple places on.
But if BCK’s only DNA is on the snap, well, who had reason to wipe off the sheath which may have included BCK’s DNA? Doubtful the shaggy haired dude did it.
Imo jmo moo. I may have missed something re this line of thinking. Anyone?
