Episode notes
DNA Collection Method
- The FBI used a small DNA sample from the knife sheath to identify Kohberger.
- They uploaded the DNA to ancestry websites, raising Fourth Amendment concerns.
Cheek Swab Dilemma
- A cheek swab confirmed the DNA match to Kohberger, seemingly strengthening the prosecution's case.
- However, the defense argues the swab is inadmissible due to the prior Fourth Amendment violation.
Lack of Blood Evidence
- The crime scene had a large amount of blood, but none was found on Kohberger, in his car, or his apartment.
- The lack of blood evidence, along with the missing murder weapon and motive, weakens the prosecution's case without the DNA.
