Police found blood on the railing at the homes of four Idaho student murder victims and others.
The sample came from two unidentified but different men. Prosecutors say these samples should not appear in court if the defense argues that the mysterious man suggested that he murdered an undergraduate student rather than the accused.
Idaho prosecutors ask Judge Boise to block him from claiming Brian Coberger's “alternative perpetrator” theory unless he can first prove that it is related to a case based on the state's rules of evidence. It's there.

Perhaps it is within the court's discretion to determine that evidence is not recognized.”
