John Mark Karr - Ping List
Please FReep Mail me if you want on or off the John Mark Karr - Ping List
This is not a Ramsey/Karr ping list - you will not be pinged to media articles that only relate to or rehash Karr's false confession to the JonBenet case, unless Boulder's LE has found something to connect Karr to the JonBenet case (like if they finally learn of Karr's whereabouts for December 25th and 26th of 1996)
Ping to the most recent Karr news...
Nancy Grace covered what Karr could be facing depending on what is found on his computer he brought back from Thailand with him. The transcript goes into detail about the PROTECT Act.

Do you want on this ping list?
John Mark Karr told a Boulder investigator when he was still in Thailand that he would agree to plead guilty to second-degree murder in the JonBenet Ramsey case.
"If you don't let me plead guilty, how will you feel? How will you live with yourself when I kill a little girl?" Karr allegedly said.

Karr is offered freedom as part of plea deal
SANTA ROSA, California (AP) -- One-time JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr was offered a plea deal Tuesday on child pornography charges that would free him on probation.
Assistant District Attorney Joann Risse said prosecutors would waive three of the five child pornography possession charges against him if he pleaded guilty on two remaining charges.
Karr, 41, would get credit for time served and would be placed on probation for three years. He also would be required to register as a sex offender.
Defense lawyer Robert Amparan said that he would discuss the deal with Karr but that he still believes his client is innocent.
Amparan said the public had received a "false picture" of Karr, whom he described as a "Southern gentleman with a sense of humor."
Karr's bail was set at $200,000 after Judge Cerena Wong called him a flight risk. Karr spent several months in the Sonoma County jail in 2001 awaiting trial on the child porn charges and fled after being released.
Amparan would not say whether his client could afford bail but said Karr would remain behind bars for now.
Karr, a schoolteacher, was arrested August 16 after making phone calls and writing e-mails suggesting he killed Ramsey, a 6-year-old beauty queen, in her Boulder, Colorado, home in December 1996. He was returned to the U.S. from Thailand only to have the Ramsey case collapse.
DNA tests failed to connect Karr to the crime, and investigators had no evidence he was in Boulder at the time of the slaying.
