But..but..but...it's to pay his legal bills. They never heard of Indigent Defense? I'd bet odds they sell their story and the guy still ends up getting an appointed attorney. I won't make judgment about the Karrs. With the exception of John, they seem like pretty decent folk, from what I've read. I'd sell whatever I had to in order to save my brother, if I thought he was innocent OR guilty.
His family knows about his attraction to children. If he were in my family with the exception of possibly being able to help convict him, I wouldn't lift so much as a hair on my head to help him. I DON'T understand why his family is wanting to hire a good attorney for him. I stand by my Ridiculous and add Stupid to it!
