In my unprofessional opinion... that's probably what they wanted. The evidence was simply just too tidy. If it were me--if I were going to kill, given my... penchant for neatness, I would want it to look helter-skelter first. But having it backwards like that, how does it make any sense?

[ Honestly, he's not sure he's even got anything. But the evidence bothers him. Greatly. ]

Wouldn't you do the thing that comes to your first instinct? Even if it were premeditated, I feel like it's a lot of effort to go through. A lot of things could go wrong. It's easier to do the opposite than to gamble on being exactly like you. You know, then, at that point, that people might pin the crime on you. Yes, it was very unsubtle, but perhaps that was on purpose.
