Murder suspects who know they committed the crime will go to great lengths to avoid serving time behind bars. From hiring ninja assassins and providing false alibis, to shifting blame and claiming they "don't identify by that name," killers have fabricated some of the most bizarre defenses in hopes of convincing a jury of their innocence. In the case of Richard Merritt, he claimed he was framed by a ninja assassin. Darrell Brooks Jr. argued that he didn't identify by his own name. Anthony Todt shifted blame to his wife, while Robert Durst provided a slew of inconsistent explanations. Cristhian Bahena Rivera initially confessed to the crime, but later claimed he was forced to do so by masked men.

The Law&Crime Network's Jesse Weber breaks down these top five weakest murder trial defenses that ultimately ended with convictions. Despite their outlandish attempts to evade justice, the evidence against these suspects proved overwhelming, and their far-fetched tales failed to sway the juries. From the absurd to the downright unbelievable, these cases highlight the desperate measures some killers will resort to when faced with the prospect of life behind bars. Tune in as we delve into the details of each case and explore the reasons why these defenses fell flat in the face of cold, hard facts.

I will agree, it's such a hard case because he is truly out of his mind, but his blatantly manipulative tendencies make it hard to see him as not aware of what he was doing (this is purely a comparison to the legal definition of 'insanity' and seeing the cross examination of his son who was a witness), I do not believe he was acting or hyping up his mental health as a defense (he didn't even CONSIDER that as an option) but I think there were multiple things at play; psychosis but he has a narcissistic or anti-social overlap that just combines and morphs into this vile, evil and delusional mindset. I found DBJ for example, to be completely aware just too narcissistic to actually recognize how he's coming off and how caught he was.

Blaming victims, especially deceased victims, is the most vile thing to do and proves the lack of remorse from the defendant. Sometimes the victims are alive but are too afraid to confront the defendant. Sometimes the victims are brave enough to come forward and are scrutinized on the witness stand. Sometimes the defendant gets aquitted and then commit more violent crimes.

FYI... Todt was sentenced less time than Brooks. At least Brooks open it up to fair game over the latter. Todt's family trusted him and he pilaged that virtue.
