First, so you don't believe it's possible to plant DNA? That it could never EVER happen? Gawd you're naive, and also seemingly unaware that DNA isn't necessarily proof-positive.
Second, references please. We'd be especially interested in ones where two people were in the same bed and both went out in silence. Nonetheless, that doesn't help with incrimination here. That doesn't make him any more guilty, does it? (Hint: Nope).
Third, you're completely discounting what his PhD work was in. Imagine doing PhD level study and making ALL the classic bone-head mistakes. How does that make sense to anyone reasonable?
Fourth, I'm not leaving out anything. I'm saying - and to your point (thanks for mentioning the plates) - everything presented "as is" is circumstantial. I never mentioned a mastermind. Only that, car stealing...easy. Phone stealing...easy. DNA...super easy. Changing plates...hardly proof of guilt.
Where you and "the facts" are failing is simple:
- No eye-witness
- Car and phone !== person. Nuff said.
- No motive
The reality is, based on facts - as they are today - my theory is just as good if not better than yours. So yeah, there's that. You can calm down now. It's ok. It's simply a "what if" discussion that's obviously beyond your small-minded capabilities.
p.s. Also, references to Occam's Razor as a legal tool in a court of law would be a big help.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoPersonal insults aren't really adding to the discussion.

- chiefalchemist 4y agoI hope you flagged the comment it's child to, as that parent wasn't discussion-minded either. p.s. small-mminded is a state of mind. It's not "name calling."
- chiefalchemist 4y agoNo they're not. But he obviously isn't interested in a discussion. I have no time or stomach to coddle such small minds. So they reply was intentionally terse.
