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.
