Lying to a Judge is a serious offense, and she should be sanctioned. Hopefully the printouts should suffice.

You can make a mistake in real life. But to make a huge jaw-dropping dumber-than-a-sack-of-rocks mistake, you need government "help".

Throwing away evidence is not conducive to building a strong case.

Incompetent is an understatement for this prosecutor.

Karr can end up a wealthy man, once the lawsuits against the DA's in CA and CO are settled.
Karr may be a creepy little guy, but the incompetence of the DA's in both states has been astounding. Maybe they are trying to replace Nifong of the Duke La Crosse case as the most Keystone-Kop DA's in the Nation.

They should have left him in Thailand. Now he's here, and soon free, and very creepy.

This is from AP about August 23rd. : [Five misdemeanor counts of child pornography possession have been pending against Karr in Sonoma County since April 2001, when authorities arrested him and seized his computer, alleging that the hard drive contained five sexually oriented images of children.]
I've been trying to find out what the charges are specifically but this is all I've found. It's pretty ambiguous since "sexually oriented images of children" could be anything from pictures of nude 16 year old girls to pictures of preteen children being raped. I'd believe that it's probably closer to the former considering that each charge is only a misdemeanor. However, if the prosecutor is as incompetent as the McJournalists covering this story then it could be anything.

he is going to sue the Colorado DA for believing his confession? Better not have me on the jury. Or any other person with half a brain or more.

Dayum! I know better than that!Heh. We all make mistakes--sometimes in cases where we can't even explain to ourselves how that could be :-)

I live in this county, Santa Rosa to be exact. 2 years ago I was the victim in an assault case. I had to investigate and turn over all the evidence myself, (with some help from the responding police officer). If I didn't, the jerk that assaulted me would have been let go. The asst. district attorney didn't think the case was worth rounding up the evidence from the police or myself.
He ended up pleading guilty based on the evidence. I have never seen a group of people who were that incompetent. (I mean the district attorney and the asst. district attorneys.
To: Aurorales
Well, I was willing to lay the blame at the feet of whoever authorized the destruction of evidence when they moved the storage facility a couple of years ago.
Surely they did an inventory and had someone rule on what was OK to destroy and what wasn't.
They have the printouts - but I guess there aren't any identifiers on them as there would be on an email, for example. They claimed that the computer was thrown out, but I was hoping that was just a mistake - that they really had the hard drive and had just been looking for the wrong thing - the case, instead.
It makes me absolutely ill to think this predator will be allowed to go free, after all the filth he has admitted to in writings and taped phone calls. Of course, we also know he lies.
Maybe that Wendy person who turned him in, in the first place, witnessed something to which she can testify - not that she's the world's best witness material.

Why Colorado? Karr sent a personal invitation for that and he got a nice first-class trip out of it too.
