She gave an almost perfect description of a unique looking individual the very morning after the killings before anyone knew who Kohberger was. 2. DNA from Kohberger at the scene.

You're not required to prove your innocence as a defendant. But when you provide an alternate theory, the jury is required to weigh your evidence equally. Which can essentially wind up in you being convicted just because you didnt prove YOUR case. If you're going to provide an alternate theory, you better be ready to prove it.

[@TJ-so9xo]

You are not understanding the law. Evidence and an alibi are 2 different things. A defendent in Idaho IS requried to give an alibi within 60 days of being indicted. BK got over a year to come up with his. Just because Idaho requires an alibli does not mean the tables turn and now the defesne has to prove the case. An alibi is not an alternate theory its an alibi.

[@jordansharpe2886]

@TJ-so9xo you're 100% correct. I didn't feel like going through the distinction but an alibi is not necessarily an alternate theory. But when you tailor your alibi to the known evidence, that's got you pretty well boxed in, it starts to blur the lines between the two.

By every metric that is a legitimate alibi to have if true. Remember if Mr. Kohlburger can show through his phone data that he was no where near the crime scene when the crime occurred than he would be not guilty of the crime as that would be an alibi that would directly contradict the prosecutions narrative. Ultimately in order to preserve Mr. Kohlburger’s right to a fair trial he must be allowed to have this phone expert testify on his behalf to prove that he was never at the crime scene when the crime happened. At the very least the Judge should allow a Voir Dire of the defenses expert to see if said expert is a credible expert to give testimony on said evidence. As long as the expert meets the qualifications of being an expert then he should be allowed to testify in front of a jury as a defense witness. If the state believes that this alibi is weak then they should be able to dismantle the witness through cross as well as having their own evidence to contradict the defenses experts.

BK's DNA and vehicle and opportunity put him at the scene beyond reasonable doubt. BK needs a rock-solid alibi to overcome the DNA, cehicle, proximity evidence. BK does not have an alibi. His testimony is not an alibi. His phone being somewhere is not an alibi. Jail is no fun. Nobody sits in the slammer for 16 months with a solid alibi. They present their alibi in a Motion to Dismiss.

sorry for his facial features???? ig that makes someones guilty huh... meanwhile dm saw eyebrows.. no face.. no hair..

[@tonystevenson26]

Your crazy, he's handsome

[@alans5799]

so far the prosecution has not been very specific either

[@OldGuy555]

Can you imagine how FRANTICALLY BK searched for the knifesheath when he noticed he did not have it? Can you imagine how devestated he wqs when he became SURE that he left it at the murder scene? Can you imagine how many times ove rthe past 16 months BK has awakened in his dark cell with a nightmare related to leaving the knife sheath? I laugh out loud at BK. Fools that ignore the evidence against BK in favor of his unsubstantiated claim he was driving around while the murders were committed are even funnier than BK.

Surely the jury can decide whether his alibi is credible or not at the time of the Trial. ? Isn't that how it works. ? If that's the best he can come up with then so be it !

[@nillyk5671]

He will be specific if this goes to trial, not now, the prosecution could mess with it.

Yeah…it’s not specific because it’s BS.

He’s enjoying every minute of creating ways to slow things down to a crawl, because he knows that this is his last chance to practice law.

[@ajaynair2636]

In the US if you have a good attorney you can twist the case, cause confusion and delay and at the end get acquitted. In India the cops would have extracted everything from the individual day-1. In the interrogation room they will figure out in the first few mts if the person is lying or not and they go from there.
