Then you obviously missed 90% of her comments

I watched the entire thing. It was a classic example of such press conferences these days. Totally content free and useless from the point of view of giving the public substantive information.

Such press conferences are all about the lead agency in the case patting itself and the other agencies involved on the back. Then they go with the usual disclaimers of not being able to answer any questions because it's an ongoing investigation.

The only thing interesting in this particular press conference was the DA's strong insistence that Karr is entitled to a presumption of innocence. (CNN even got that wrong; on its banner at the bottom of their screen, they wrote that the DA said Karr was presumed guilty. Sheesh!)

This DA did everything but turn herself into a pretzel trying to cover her butt: (1) There's still a lot of work to do. (2) Sometimes "exigent circumstances" force the time of an arrest.

Pathetic.

It was possibly the most useless and content free press conference I've ever witnessed, and we've all seen plenty like it. There was simply no reason to even hold a press conference except to give each other kudos and have some face time (politics).

Absolute rubbish.

And I again applaud her work on this case, regardless of whether or not this is the killer. Her team followed up a lead just like they should have.

The DA did everything a good DA should do in that press conference, which includes following the Colorado Code.
