There ya have it! After all the drama and staged theatrics by the Boulder DA and the press to bring justice to the JonBenet Ramsey case, a judge dismissed all charges against an unquestionable sick man. How much tax payers money was wasted on this farce? How much did the press pump up this pathetic demented caricature? Believe it or not, I saw Bill O'Reilly and a trail lawyer going at it over this case earlier this week. O'Reilly was adamant that Karr would serve time for child porn possession charges but the lawyer he was debating was very strident in maintaining that he would not serve one day in jail for the alleged charges. The lawyer had evidently had a new High Definition crystal ball! What's next?
Judge dismisses Karr's kid porn charges
By KIM CURTIS, Associated Press Writer
The former suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey killing left jail Thursday after a judge dismissed child pornography charges against him, saying prosecutors didn't have enough evidence to take the case to trial.
John Mark Karr, who was not in court for the hearing, was ordered released immediately by Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Rene Chouteau, ending his two-month odyssey in the U.S. criminal justice system after he was extradited from Thailand on suspicion of killing the 6-year-old beauty queen.
He did not comment to reporters as he left the Sonoma County jail flanked by his attorneys, and he rode off in a black Volvo sport-utility vehicle.
Karr, 41, was returned to California last month to face the five-year-old pornography case after DNA evidence cleared him of killing the girl in her Boulder, Colo., home in 1996.
The misdemeanor pornography case fell apart almost as quickly, as investigators admitted losing vital computer evidence that was seized from Karr in April 2001 when he was working as a substitute teacher in Sonoma and Napa counties.
Defense lawyers tried twice unsuccessfully to get the charges dismissed and were seeking to have evidence barred from trial when prosecutors gave up. They said they couldn't establish when the child porn images had been downloaded on Karr's computer.
"The impression that we've had all along is that the prosecution had every intention of getting this case to trial, regardless of the evidence," said defense lawyer Robert Amparan. "I am pleasantly surprised by them having done the right thing."
Prosecutors acknowledged that if Karr were convicted he would not have served any additional time in jail, because he spent several months behind bars awaiting trial in 2001. They said they were seeking to have him register as a sex offender.
District Attorney Stephan Passalacqua said after the dismissal that his office "exhausted all resources available" to prosecute Karr, suggesting that the five-year delay in bringing Karr to trial was to blame for the weakened case.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Karr has benefited from his flight from these charges on the eve of trial in 2001," Passalacqua said in a statement.
Karr had fled the state after being released from jail in 2001 and had been on the lam until his arrest in Bangkok, which caused a sensation when he told reporters he was with JonBenet when she died.
Karr, who moved to California from Alabama with his wife and three sons, first came to the attention of Sonoma County officials after an informant told authorities about alarming e-mails he had been sending her.
Investigators looked at Karr in connection with the unsolved 1997 murder of 12-year-old Georgia Moses, whose body was found dumped along a highway in Sonoma County, Karr's lawyers said.
The sexually explicit pictures of children were later found during a search of his home, authorities said.
His arrest led school officials to strip him of his teaching credential, and his marriage ended in divorce later that year.
In hearings over the past two weeks, the defense accused prosecutors of misconduct for failing to alert the judge sooner that evidence was missing, and they questioned the strength of the evidence that remained. The defense also said the search warrants were based on an unreliable witness with a history of mental illness.
Sheriff Bill Cogbill said he accepted the prosecutor's decision to drop

ALL that attention drawn to that bvllshyt. When foks COULD/SHOULD have much more focused on the calamity Bush & Co. has gotten us into Iraq (and is about to get us into in Iran), the RECESSION we STILL are in, fuel prices, etc.
There should be A LOT of foks FIRED over this shyt. And that INCLUDES some the law enforcement and prosecutors and the foks in the press who're most involved in and responsible for hyping this fiasco up.
Any watch Chester Molester make a frickin' FORTUNE suing mofos, appearing on TV shows and shyt.

Our judicial system is whack and needs to be overhauled. It seems as if the blind are leading the blind and no one can tell their ass from a hole in the ground. The creep is supposedly having a press conference today (or whenever) and the media should all be tarred and feathered if they partake! One of the main motivators for these perverted criminal egomaniacal sociopaths is all of the unwarranted free attention and publicity they receive from the news outlets. And the public is stupid for being interested. It's no wonder that the foreign countries think we're all messed up here in the U.S.A. It's fucking embarrassing. |

Our judicial system is working just fine. You all still think it is supposed to convict guilty persons.
It is supposed to let some guilty persons go free.
This was all SUPPOSED to happen. Does nobody remember the official from the Department of Homeland Security that was over there insisting this guy needed to get extradited?
Now the question is--why?
Many theories--but high up on there is this--this guy is part of a pedophile ring and is in position to sing on a number of high placed pedophiles--we just saw that they are all up in the Congress, despite the desires of some people who have similar desires who want to call this something else--he got word to them and they arranged to get him out--additionally the Ramsey case gets more muddled.
Look for this guy to have an accident sometime. |
