That's why I am reserving my judgement until the DNA evidence shows innocence or guilt. If he's found innocent, then I'll sit back and watch the eggheads in the media try to spin it.
I'm waiting for hard facts, also. In the meantime, we should be aware of the possibility that the DNA might not rule him in or out, but might be inconclusive. In which case, truth is screwed whether or not he committed the crime. The Boulder authorities, wanting him to be their man, will assemble what circumstantial case they can.
Given Karr's seemingly desperate need to be seen as the killer, after formal charges are filed, he might choose to plead guilty. Which means there never would be a trial and the Boulder DA would never have to prove their case.
I am appalled, absolutely appalled at how the Boulder authorities have handled this matter of John Karr.
