true enough...

[Walkingfeather]

We should do a media search on all the Enquirers, star magazines and weekly world news and read all the psychics predictions of who killed the child. Then of course mock them publicly.

[Rutles4Ever]

Something's rotten in Denmark. There's almost no reason the ex-wife would provide an allabi for this monster unless it were true. His insistence that this is only 2nd-degree murder sounds like someone looking for a trip back to the states but not death row.

He wasn't in prison on Thailand. The authorities cooperated with the INS and arrested him on the charges from CA until the Boulder authorities could get with them according to the news last night. The sex charges were the ones from CA.

I was wondering what was going to be this years TRIAL OF THE CENTURY!

It's only 2006... way too early to declare this the trial of the century!

Besides, the next Scott Peterson is probably out there plotting a fishing trip.

[sarasota]

I'm not sure. I was all over the channels but I think it was Fox.

[MizSterious]

That would work if he had actually been in prison when the US extradited him. In fact, he was staying at some sort of dormitory-style hotel (sounds like a hostel).

[threeleftsmakearight]

The thing that will always stick with me is the ransome note. The amount of $118K? I could see if he happened upon a round number such as $150K, but he just happened to ask for that unique amount?
Also, you mean to say he stayed in that house and drafted that note AFTER he killed JonBenet?

[PhiKapMom]

I have a hunch that the alibi is going to be blown out of the water very shortly.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

**he was staying at some sort of dormitory-style hotel (sounds like a hostel).**

...in the sex district.

That Natalee thing hasn't panned out....

[rabidralph]

My thought was that he knows the killer and the killer gave him these details and he is protecting the killer. Who knows. The DNA will tell.

[green iguana]

and you walk

He won't walk, he's been convicted in absentia for other crimes here and is also under investigation in the US. But where would you rather spend time in prison?

[elc]

Helped the girls with their evening bath??? Dear Lord, I hope they are interviewing those little girls.

[John D]

Then, once they extradite you go to court in the US and deny the whole thing. The judge throws out the confession and you walk.



And he gets a free plane ticket back to the states then writes a book.

[threeleftsmakearight]

Actually, the brother said he wasn't sure, that he would have to check dated photos and such.

[sarasota]

That $118k is the amount of the father's Christmas bonus. That factoid is puzzling.

[Arec Barrwin]

Karr's brother, Nate, said: "This whole thing is ridiculous."

[MizSterious]

Still, someone who was close to him at one time, right? Not all divorces result in child custory fights and so on. She's claiming he was there for Christmas? Seems even if she's telling the truth, they were pretty friendly.

[thinkthenpost]

Not to derail the thread, but IMO had the DA gone for manslaughter I think OJ would have been convicted. Hell, he may be finishing up the sentence about now.

As for this Karr character, this is just too surreal. I'll be curious if the alibi holds up from the wife, and whether he retracts his confession. This case is going to be a three ring circus.
