    Did he give a sperm sample or something at the crime seen? What DNA?

    And public defenders though they are as skilled as any attorney are very much overworked in many places. Private counsel can offer more attention to the details of a case and spend time researching potentially novel theories to defend their client.

      They can sample DNA now if you’ve simply been in the area. They can sample it off the backpack he discarded in the park. They can sample it off the shell casings. They have his movement across many cameras.

      Remember, they only have to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

      I think lemmy users need to get their head out of their asses with the “we really don’t know if he did it” thing. As much as anyone might think the crime was justified, the evidence is pretty solid. And with such an emotional newsworthy case, they’re not going to bring it to trial unless the evidence is beyond reproach.

        They also said they have fingerprints from a water bottle. If that’s true, they can probably get DNA from that. If they actually need DNA.
