Not a legal expert, but sounds to me the entire case has been mishandled and all charges are to be dropped immediately.

It's surprising it worked. It's a really well-known tactic, owed to being on every cop show ever. Pretty sure it's totally above-board, though. Anything you leave behind (trash, crumbs, maybe a bit of saliva) is fair game. Unfortunate.
Please don't let any of my hairs fall out while in custody.
Let this be a lesson, if ever arrested. Keep your mouth shut and don't accept anything that the cops give you.
Ask for water from a bottle only, then drink without letting it touch your lips.
But only if you're wearing gloves
If you're arrested for a felony in CO you have your DNA collected via swab. Is that not standard? They don't do that in PA?
They don't usually collect until after you're convicted, if I recall correctly.
In CO a felony arrest gets you swabbed.
Well he is a bit of a snack.
I'm kind of surprised he fell for that
He didn't murder anyone. He's clearly just someone the cops framed. Who walks around with a confession in their backpack after murder?
Sounds like little risk as far as this alleged crime goes, if there's any semen on the scene, it's likely mine.
The blood is mine and it was consensual.
