A Democrat operative told me of their poll after the election and told me the guy had won on name ID. His words to me were, "Change your name to Charles F***ing Manson and you'll win in a landslide!"
Really ... and what planet have you been living on? He stated he was in the Ramsey home the night of JonBenet's murder, he was specific enough as to certain details of the murder to warrant his arrest in Thailand (by Thai police) and returned to Boulder for prosecution. The Boulder police were able to determine he was lying about his involvement in the Ramsey's daughter murder. If anyone sues, the Boulder police should sue this scumbag for fabricating the sick lie that got him returned to the U.S., business class, from Thailand on the taxpayers dime.
Lt. Frank Drebbin: The missing evidence in the Kelner case! My God, he really was innocent!
Ed: He went to the chair two years ago, Frank.
Frank: Well, uh...
Says something that such human interest stories are still surfacing at the media/public interface with Foleygate taking up so much bandwidth that even the N Kor nuke test rates barely a footnote.
By confessing to an American crime he didn't commit, Hi-Pockets got extradited in time to avoid an Asian prison. Smart dude. Then he comes to America, we find out he didn't kill the Jon Benet Ramsey, and they lose all evidence of his new crimes.
He won the lottery! With a trail as slimy as that, he should run for Democratic office.
Let's see ... this POS, a total stranger, is in the Ramsey home (unbeknown to anyone except JonBenet) and claims to have been with her when she was murdered ... she was murdered. However, your point is he never said he murdered her, he just happened to be there ... and now he's going to sue whomever for, I presume, false arrest? Not likely, if anything, he'll be sued for lying to police officials.
LOL
The computer wasn't "full" of the stuff. The DA claimed to have found five alleged pieces of child porn, but never released copies or descriptions of what they were. The charges might have been thin even with the computer, who knows? Maybe they're taking the easy way out by "losing" it.
As per normal for the justice system. Probably sold to make room for the bicycles. There needs to be a state depository for criminal evidence after a certain time period instead of every little jurisdiction having to create warehouse space secure enough to keep evidence for years.
He probably has a book deal in the works on how to work the system.
Never in a million years did I think this perv would actually *walk* over this. Why weren't the paper copies good enough as evidence?
This is unbelievable. I thought his so-called "friend" Wendy in Petaluma had proof of these pix, too. This really is outrageous.
Even worse, I heard on the TV news just now that his "ex-wife" - meaning the 2nd one, Lara Knutson - had testified that the computer in question "didn't work, anyway" at the time of the allegations.
Geez, I guess once he got back in the US, his enabling family promised him some money, so he had enough to pay the mother of his 3 boys to say the computer wasn't working. Grrrr.
from what I understand, even if convicted, it would have been just a misdemeanor...
pay the fine and your outa here.
Well, he wasn't convicted of anything so here comes the 7 figure book deal......
Oh, the problem has been discussed for weeks and weeks.
The ADA made the mistake of saying she and her team were looking into other evidence on the computer - when, in point of fact, no one knew where the computer was. She got in big trouble for saying that.
Still, she had the printouts of the child porn in question, just not the hard drive from which they were taken. I contended all along that somebody was looking for the wrong thing in custody - looking for a whole computer, when all they had was the HD, after the warehouse was cleaned out in 2002 for the move to the new courthouse.
They said over 40,000 items were thrown out.
He wasn't in any trouble in Thailand.
I would be happy to chip in to a fund that would pay his way right back to where we got him.
Yeah, he had already served 6 months because he couldn't make bail. Then, he finally got enough together (while in jail, no less) and got himself out - then promptly failed to show up for the next hearing.
The warrant all along has been for the bail-jumping. I never quite understood if he would've gotten 3 years for the misdemeanor or 3 years for each of the 5 counts - but I believe it was supposed to be 3 years total, minus the 6 months he had already served.
Most reports said he would've had less than a year to serve if found guilty in this crime.
They don't prosecute or tack on anything for leaving the country to avoid prosecution, I guess????
