She claims that there is nothing wrong with Karr and that he is not insane, nor is he seeking out attention.
That's what attorneys do, represent their clients. If Karr wants to hang for this murder, whether or not he actually did it, he will instruct his attorneys to say such things. If he wants to hang for it, he will plead guilty whether or not he actually did the crime. Then there will be no trial, and the state will not have to prove its case.
Furthermore, the attorney, I take it, is not also a psychiatrist or psychologist, and so is not qualified to make such judgements on her own.
She also refused to comment when she was asked if she thought he did it. Remember she is his defense attorney.
I may be mistaken, but I believe this woman is not his defense attorney, only a public defender who represented him in the extradition matter. If so, she would appropriately have no comment about the criminal case. Furthermore, she has had zero time to investigate her client's involvement in the case as good criminal defense attorneys do, so again, it is appropriate for her to avoid saying anything more than whatever he authorized her to say.
He may or may not be guilty. (I'm not sure we ever will know the truth unless hard physical evidence ties him to the murder.) But everything about what has happened from the moment his name first surfaced suggests to me that he is being railroaded by the Boulder DA. If he's guilty, he deserves everything that will come to him. However, I still think that what the Boulder DA has allowed to happen as regards Karr is appalling.
Agreed.
I hate to say this, but with this guy's weird and somewhat dark past, I wouldn't put it past some in law enforcement to say that the DNA marched even if it actually does not.
Who would know?

If you can make sure you try and catch one of her interviews after you get home.
She clearly said they spent some 7 to 8 hours with him yesterday and that she and the firm she belongs to is representing him. One of the gals in the firm (not Jamie though) did represent Karr on his CA charges before he skipped out on them.
I was quite puzzled by her interview, it seems to me that they are not going to be seeking a defense of insanity or mental illiness for him. But that may all change if his DNA does come back as a match.
