The “I Was Framed” Defense Why It Has Failed in Every High-Profile Case
Could Bryan Kohberger’s defense team really claim that the DNA evidence tying him to the Idaho student murders was planted? As the trial approaches, legal experts speculate that his attorneys may push the argument that the knife sheath found at the crime scene—with Kohberger’s DNA on it—was not left by him, but instead placed there by someone else. But is that even possible? In this episode, we break down how forensic DNA collection works, the scientific hurdles of fabricating evidence, and why this type of defense has rarely succeeded in past high-profile murder trials.
From Cristhian Bahena Rivera’s “masked men” excuse to Diane Downs’ infamous “bushy-haired stranger” claim, we examine how guilty defendants have historically used the “I was framed” strategy to shift blame—and why it has failed almost every time. What does it take to successfully argue that evidence was planted? What do juries really think when they hear this defense? And most importantly, does Kohberger’s case fit the pattern of past failures, or could his legal team have a legitimate argument?

Join us as we explore the forensic science, legal precedents, and psychological factors behind the “planted evidence” defense. Whether you’ve been following the Kohberger case closely or are interested in the tactics used in major true crime trials, this episode will break down the facts, the myths, and the reality of this controversial defense strategy.
