>>>The only fact that isn't subject to poor journalism (and that I will believe) is whether the DNA from the suspect matches that taken from the crime scene and which does not match any other known person. Otherwise this is just bad reporting compounded by ill-founded conjecture.>>>
You are correct. I remember the first night, all the 'experts' and talking heads were saying how this guy is a fraud because he couldn't have drugged her and there was no school at Christmas. Next day when the Tai police recanted or corrected that, there was no "oops, my bad", it was "well, his wife says he was home with her". Ohh, ex-wife says he was home, let him go. Sheesh.
>>>She does have a motive to remember in his favor--her children. How many women want their children to live with the stigma of having their father known as a notorious child molester/murderer?>>>
Motive such as protecting her own butt? He had a website from 1996 that he used to ask sexual questions to youngsters on. She posted on there frequently as well. I cannot believe she was as ignorant to this man and his rantings until he was arrested in 2001. He was losing it long before that.

How do you know it was her and not him pretending to be her? I know Lara extremely well, and I cannot imagine her participating in this.
>>>I read that the ex-wife has backtracked a little, now stating she isn't sure if he was or wasn't with her and the kids that particular Christmas day.>>>
REALLY???

You can't be sure I suppose and that is how alot of pedophiles would give it validity. But if she was THAT controlled by him... Believe me, what a woman shows to the world isn't always what she shows in her private world.
This has been handled very well by the DA, the judges and even the defense attorneys.
The important part of the media's role was getting Karr's face on every station and every newspaper across the country. The more Karr is exposed, the more likely to "catch'm" at his own game.
Karr is of the same mindframe as Scott Peterson.
The U.S. asked Thailand for for his extradition and received approval for his return to the U.S.
My point was that if he didn't do the Benet murder, he should be sent back to Thailand to finish out his jail sentence there.
The jails there are unlike the Country Club prisons in the U.S.
Ask anyone who got caught sneaking illegal drugs in the country there.
I think Karr got tired of the foreign prison and "confessed" so that he could live in a "Club Fed" here.

No he wasn't. He had just started a new teaching job there and was arrested at the request of the U.S.
