No Charges For Ramsey Suspect
Reports are coming out that a DNA test failed to link the suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey murder case to the crime.
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.
The suspect's lawyers are now saying the same thing publicly, according to the Associated Press. They are also making whining noises.
"The warrant on Mr. Karr has been dropped by the district attorney," public defender Seth Temin said outside the jail. "They are not proceeding with the case."
Boulder County District Attorney Mary Lacy's office did not return repeated calls from The Associated Press.
"We're deeply distressed by the fact that they took this man and dragged him here from Bangkok, Thailand, with no forensic evidence confirming the allegations against him and no independent factors leading to a presumption that he did anything wrong," Temin said.
His client confessed. By any reasonable standard that is quite enough to get a suspect hauled back to face charges.

I’m still waiting to find out what first brought him to the attention of the Bangkok cops.

He wasn’t brought over here “for no reason” - he has an outstanding warrant for possession of child porn in California!! That is a felony.
And TC, I don’t think it takes too much to figure out what he was in Bangkok for. It is the hub of the underage sex trade in Asia, and pretty much the world. I don’t know that the Bangkok cops even were looking at him at all - the cops in Boulder instigated his arrest.

Yeah, his lawyers are creeps.
