Seth Abramson, an English professor at the University of New Hampshire who also worked for years as a public defender in the state of New Hampshire, has written a tweet storm noting that Trump’s lashing out at perceived conspiracies against him are some of the classic behaviors that a guilty person engages in when caught.

#1 allege a conspiracy against you

#2 raise issues irrelevant to the case to distract attention

#3 avoid speaking of the facts closest in time/space to the crime alleged

#4 cite the support of people unassociated with the allegations to boost credibility

#5 make oneself difficult to access for further questioning

#6 displacing blame onto others

#7 using anger/self-righteousness to distract from the allegations

#8 complain about law enforcement

#9 allege the crime was impossible/improbable

#10 misstate facts of the case while paradoxically claiming innocence and having nothing to hide

#11 manipulate surrogates (particularly witnesses) to make the case harder to investigate/prosecute and to sow confusion

#12 Deny relationships (even provably extant ones) that would make commission of the crime more likely

4. They'll Dismiss This Guy In A New York Second

The first thing they'll point to is his public defender job. "They don't make any money because the good lawyers don't do that job." Trust me someone will post or say exactly that.

Then we'll hear "He's an english teacher." Again, i can't prove it, i just know.
