Agreed.
His looking for a new knife on Amazon because --he'd already tossed the murder weapon.
Etc.
And then that selfie with the shower background.....
Celebratory.
Sick bleep.
I do believe LE have him dead to rights, and I wouldn't be surprised if BK's defense knows this.
From the Dateline episode : Disagree with the defense saying that like (paraphrased), '...like a house of cards & if one falls the rest will tumble after'.
One wild card ('new' evidence) is not going to negate the other evidence; and this case isn't a flimsy house of cards.
Ridiculous.
I didn't care for the way the defense seized on the fact that the roommate said (about BK's photo) she didn't know who that was.
He had a balaclava on, and only his eyebrows stood out.
For her, seeing his entire face in a photo lineup would've been different, and in a way that can be used for the prosecutor's benefit, as Brian had never been to that house nor did he personally know anyone there !
It's going to be difficult for the two survivors to be on the stand as I fear the defense is going to attempt to debunk their testimony.
BK built a puzzle, with each interlocking piece adding to the final outcome.
And as far as his recent diagnosis, imo there are high functioning autistics who do know what they're doing and can discern right from wrong.
Thinking from earlier threads where BK was using gloves to dispose of waste at his parents, and the clothing worn during the murders -- why throw good clothes away, Brian ?
Imo.

My own experience is that most autistics can discern right from wrong and in fact are often stickers for rules, with a heightened need for justice.
A problem arises when the autistics rules don’t match society’s.
One theory of autism is that autistics don’t naturally, automatically sync with others around them.
This often makes them non-conformists. For example, autistics might keep unconventional hours (days and nights switched) if they don’t automatically sync with others’ signs of wakefulness or tiredness.
In small, traditional communities, this can be dangerous. Humans need to depend on another to survive. Yet even traditional communities provide for people who are “weird.” Think of a shaman, for example.
In large modern societies such as ours, autistics are given much more free rein. Until they suddenly fear having to register for a national data base, that is.
I think BK is autistic and I have always thought BK was autistic. I remember thinking—oh great, another autistic person goes off the deep end, making everyone look bad.
The Sandy Hook Shooter, the Parklamd Shooter, now BK.
The problem isn’t autism, though. Obviously, almost all autistic people are not killers. As
