Default no charges to be filed in JonBenet Ramsey case

Karr is a weirdo for sure, but the DNA evidence does not match

I don't know. I had a feeling something was weird about this guy. I wonder what his actual story is. He seemed to be obsessed with Ramsay, but I remember that there were people on CNN hours after his arrest saying that certain things didn't make sense.

Not to get all mob-mentality about it, but I do hope they have something else on this creep. It sounds like he's someone who should be behind bars, whatever his links or non-links to this particular case may be.

his brother was in the press last week saying he was 100% certain he couldn't have been there. I think this Karr guy has just lost his mind a little maybe.

I think there are child porn charges pending in California.

Yeah. I was watching O'Rielly the other night and he was saying how certain things didn't add up.

Hearing all those tapes regarding the whole case gave me the creeps.

They should hold him pending a psychiatric evaluation at the least. He is obviously having some disturbing fantasies and delusions, and should probably be committed to protect people.

Do the states have any law similiar to the dangerous offender law we have here in Canada? I doubt that he would qualify for it if they did but I'm curious if they have such a thing.

Well, I'm sure alot of offenders would rather be in an American jail cell than some Thailand one. Wasn't he charged/convicted of some child related crimes in Thailand?

That's what I heard.
What we should be doing is stringing up the hoard of tabloid journalists that stirred this whole thing up into the overblown piece of non-news that it is.

No kidding...but I guess hindsight is 20/20. I mean if anyone were to make a "confession" of murder, I'm sure everybody is going to take that seriously. Though of course questions arose the moment he spoke out, but I'd be interested to know how many TV specials, countless news articles, and time was put into portraying this in the media.

Isn't he wanted in Thailand or the Phillipines for some pretty heavy child porn charges. If so I wonder if they dropped them in order to extridite him back to the states.

If thats the case it gets him out of serving time in thier prisons, and gets him a lighter sentence in a more modern U.S. jail.

Confessing to Ramsey's murder might have been a brilliant masterstroke by a disturbed mind.

If he is able to avoid the sex charges in Thailand, this move by him is genious. Cruel, and heartless, but smart on his behalf. Now he just has to serve whatever he gets in the US, and another pedophile/child molester is off scot free.

I recall that if a person is charged with a sex crime against a child in asia, then Canada will prosecute as if the crime took place on Canadian soil.

Does the US have the same agreement? If so, then fleeing asia to avoid prosecution wouldn't work.

might be true, but where would you rather serve your sentence, and which country has easier parole standards
