Poll: In TBK, do you think Dmitri did it?

[carnage_complex]

The character of Dmitry Karamazov was heavily influenced by a falsely accused parricide who Dostoevsky knew during his time in Siberia.  The man in question was later exonerated of all wrongdoing.  Dostoevsky discusses this individual at some length in "House of the Dead," and popular consensus generally is that this person had a bearing on Dostoevsky's final novel.  Maybe this idea was supposed to be explored more at length in the sequel that Dostoevsky intended to write before his death.  If I had to state what the author probably had in mind, then I would claim that Dmitry was innocent.
