I have to say, it's such a busy news time for us to be doing this. Just shows the significance of what happened at that hearing on January 23rd and 24th. I was like, we've got to get this on because- I appreciate it. I mean, I don't want to overstate it, but it's possible the prosecution's case is falling apart. It did not go particularly well for them. Let's start with the DNA. What happened?
Well, the way these authorities got to Kohlberger- wasn't through any other evidence at the beginning but just a little speck of dna smaller than a piece of dust that was left on the button of a knife sheath that was left behind They used this speck of DNA, they processed it so that they could give it to an FBI laboratory.
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.
