Not at all.
His own words put him there, and not only his public words, but private ones as well...while he was being checked out for whether there was enough evidence to press charges.
He was held in CA a short while until CO could receive him. Then over a weekend it was decided in CO he shouldn't be prosecuted for JonBenet's murder.
Why are you accusing FReepers of wanting him held on nothing and of ignoring the Constitution?
I'm extremely disappointed. That's putting it mildly, but I'll try to stay more mild than I really feel about it.
I won't go into the Pedophilia. I don't trust what I would say, although it would be based on the facts as I know them...just feel too strongly about it to trust ME.
First, I am not accusing FReepers, broadly speaking, of wanting him held on nothing. I was thinking of ladyinred's comment in her Post #532, which was as follows:
"I am not surprised however about his DNA not matching as I didn't think he killed JonBenet in the first place. He needs to be put away regardless."
That point of view had been expressed countless times on these JBR threads since Karr first came to public attention. The only problem with it is, other than the MISDEMEANOR possession of child porn charges in California, zero information has come to light that Karr ever committed any crime.
Have we come to the point in this country when we "put people away" just because they are weird, mentally disturbed, give false confessions to famous murder cases, etc.? If so, then we have just thrown our Constitution out the window.
You may be disappointed in me, txrangerette, but your disappointment is misplaced. Any Constitutional conservative, which I am, would be disappointed in the desire to put someone away without evidence of that person having committed any crime. That's what tyrants do, not Americans in our Constitutional Republic.
As for Karr, he may very well have pedophilic tendencies. He certain seems to, at any rate. However, to the best of my knowledge he has never been accused of acting on them. It may be disgusting, but it is not a crime to fantasize about molesting children. Do not interpret this statement as excusing Karr, for it does not. Rather, I am pointing out that we do not get put in jail in this country because of what people think we might do, only for what we do if it is against the law. If my defense of that key principle in the Bill of Rights disappoints you, I would say that is unfortunate.
