The FBI laboratory then, after months of not admitting what they had done, it was revealed in the end of January in court that they had taken this DNA and they had uploaded it to two websites ancestry DNA websites that prohibit law enforcement from using this DNA. The FBI did this not out of any evil reasons, but just out of their zeal. You have to go back to the time of the killing.

It was a murder of four young children on the loose. They had really no clues except for this DNA, except for this DNA. It was in many ways the perfect crime. They had no blood evidence. Really, they had no evidence of anyone stalking these young college students. All they had was this DNA, so they ran with it.

And this DNA allowed them to open up many other doors, ultimately having a series of search warrants that led to the suspects, Brian Kohlberger's phone, his car, his apartment. But without that DNA, they couldn't have gotten these search warrants. And now the defense is saying, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Go ahead. Not only did they not want to turn over the results, they said... They said literally that they had ripped up the evidence of their research. They said, we just threw it out. Who ever heard of a major murder investigation, the FBI discarding evidence? But this is what they did. But the defense kept on pressing and pressing. And now they got a judge to give them the evidence.

And it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, it came out in open court that the FBI violated the protocols of these two genetic websites. Now, how is that going to affect the case?

Exactly. And if you look at what they had before then, there's not much except for one thing. After Kohlberger is arrested, he's in a Pennsylvania jail and they do a cheek swab. And the DNA from that cheek swab matches the DNA on the button of the knife sheath. That is pretty substantial evidence. But if they can get that thrown out
