| DRUDGE: No DNA Match, Karr Being Released |
| 2006-08-28 |
I know a lot of people had doubts, but this should have been checked before OUR tax dollars brought this assh*le all the way back from Thailand - I'm guessing he spouted this crap because life in a Colorado pen would have been infinitely better than any time at all in a Thai prison - Mike KUSA - 9NEWS has confirmed from two sources that the DNA taken from John Mark Karr does not match the DNA samples taken from the crime scene in the JonBenet Ramsey murder case. 9NEWS has also confirmed from different sources that no charges will be filed against Karr in connection with the Ramsey case by the Boulder County District Attorney's office. Samples of Karr's saliva and hair were taken in Boulder after his arrival on Thursday. Those samples were tested over the weekend inside the Denver Police Department's Crime lab. 9NEWS has confirmed that Karr's DNA is ruled out as the foreign DNA left on JonBenet Ramsey's body when she was murdered in December 1996. JonBenet was covered in a blanket when her body was found. Foreign hair fibers were found on that blanket and they did not match any of the Ramsey family or approximately 100 people that were tested. Karr was taken into custody in Bangkok, Thailand earlier this month in connection with the murder. He arrived in Boulder Thursday afternoon on a probable cause warrant for charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual assault on a child. Karr said at a press conference in Thailand he was with JonBenet when she died. Karr is scheduled to be in court Monday afternoon for an advisement hearing. He still faces charges of child pornography in California. 9NEWS.com and 9NEWS at 4, 5 and 6 p.m. will have the latest on this developing story. |

#8 The CO state gov said this:"I find it incredible that Boulder authorities wasted thousands of taxpayer dollars to bring Karr to Colorado given such a lack of evidence. [Boulder district attorney] Mary Lacy should be held accountable for the most extravagant and expensive DNA test in Colorado history." |

| #7 In US law, its not enuff to confess to a crime - the confessor as an American citizen is still innocent until proven guilty, i.e. the physical evidence overwhelmingly matches his "confession" or material circumstances therein. OTOH, the expensive Steak?-and-Prawns/Shrimp meal on the plane from Thailand was a bit much, espec for someone whose been on the run since the 1980's. "CONFESSING" TO KILL A LITTLE GIRL + PEDOPHILIA = EATING STEAK-AND-SHRIMP??? US TAXPAYERS SAVED A [GUILTY?] AMERICAN FROM THAI PRISON, ONLY TO SEE HIM GO TO A US PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL/ INSTITUTION AGAIN AT TAXPAYER'S EXPENSE??? Methinks its safe to say US credibility-prestige, includ for US law enforcement, is gonna take a hit wid this one. |

| #4 No doubt he wanted to get out of that Thai prison but I hope we send him back after he serves his term in California. |
