Definite backtrack. Sounds like someone who has mental problems and is looking for his 15 minutes of fame to me.


"On my show, that would be 15 MONTHS of fame!"

No one is saying it isn't honorable, but it sure wasn't a news worthy press conference. They did nothing but pat themselves on the back.

Boulder is definitely a city on high! A high that permeates everything there.

Exactly. Forget 15 minutes, it will be months worth of free publicity for this nutjob's book.

Ah yes, the pictures will now pop up. It'll be interesting to see if they even have a date on them. As for the father, it's quite telling that he didn't even know where his son was. And the guy's brother knew absolutely NOTHING about the guy's personal life. Regardless of whether the guy killed JonBenet, and I am remaining neutral on that point, they aren't even willing to amdit to themselves that their relative is a pedophile and a creep. I would never protect an evil family member and act like they were a saint.

Did you hear at the very beginning, when she (DA) introduced herself, she said something like "And I ... I am (obviously) [ introduced herself by name ]. The use of the word "obviously" in that instance seemed quite arrogant and condescending toward the audience, IMO. I had no idea what her name was!

I sat around waiting for the press conference.
After the DA finished telling the press corp what she couldn't discuss I concluded that the conference was held simply for 'face' time.

A waste of time.

well, there may be a rush to judgement but I can't believe that the father or the family's lawyer or the local media would have gone with this story if it had no legs....

just one correction though...it was the defense attorney who spoke unabatedly about the Kobe case.....

then again, look at Nifong....he couldn't keep his trap shut...

Would YOU let your child be bathed by this guy? I wouldn't. I saw the resume.....and I cannot shake the creepy feeling I got when he talks of supervising the baths of children.

The guy got busted in Thailand on some sex crime.

From all I've read - he was picked up in Thailand at the request of the US - He was not facing jail in Thailand

His resume - http://www.job4teacher.com/Candidates/JohnKarr.html - states that he was involved in the computer business until 1996 as was John Ramsey

As creepy as he is, I fear that he's just a wack job - Well, the DNA will tell.

If they don't link the DNA to him, the DA is going to have a hard time convicting him.

Crosspost: You seem to have forgotten about Mike Nifong and the Duke Lacrosse Rape Hoax.

It will depend on the DNA that was found. I hope the police in Colorado tests every sex offenders DNA.

There are several parts of his resume which are quite disturbing. Like making sure the girls got their baths before bed. Type "Thailand?" if you'd be okay with this guy giving your young children baths every night.

The man boobs are also very disturbing as well!!

Not to be too picky with facts or anything, but maybe you didn't notice the wife left her husband after he was arrested for child pornography and made sure the judge arranged it that John can't even see his children. She was in no way covering for John and certainly didn't try to portray him as a saint.
