In most cases, and in most jurisdictions, this would be the case. “No judge or jury have evaluated that claim. Turvey stated Wednesday that a chain-of-custody form should be created in real time. “So, for example, if I pick up a bag of evidence, I will sign that I have retrieved it and add my signature, the date. The evidence bag appears to be filled in twice. The bag was marked with the date “11/14/22” and the initials “BP”, which likely belong to lead detective Brett Payne.

The plea landed him behind bars for the rest his life with no chance of parole. He offered no explanation for the crimes, shared no motive and offered no new information.Prosecutors have said Kohberger remained inside for about 15 minutes, although the initial police affidavit doesn’t describe the exact time he went into the house. Whitcomb notes that the defense narrative claims that the attacks occurred in less than five minutes, which is inconsistent with Turvey’s estimate of the time it would take to clean up the crime scene. Turvey believes that there were at least two. Both of their reports have also been reviewed by Fox News Digital.
