Karr cleared in JonBenet Ramsey case DNA of suspect in murder no match, but he faces child porn charges in Calif.

• Reports: Karr's DNA doesn't match Aug. 28: MSNBC-TV's Susan Filan and Alison Stewart talk about a report that says John Mark Karr's DNA does not match the DNA found at the JonBenet Ramsey crime scene. The Most BREAKING NEWS

Updated: 18 minutes ago BOULDER, Colo. - Prosecutors abruptly dropped their case against John Mark Karr in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey on Monday, saying DNA tests failed to put him at the crime scene despite his repeated insistence he killed the 6-year-old beauty queen.

The move came just a week and a half after the 41-year-old schoolteacher was arrested in Thailand and put on a plane to the U.S. in what was regarded as a remarkable break in the decade-old murder mystery that had cast suspicion on JonBenet's parents.

Karr, 41, will be held in custody by the Boulder County sheriff's office pending extradition to Sonoma County, Calif., to face child pornography charges dating to 2001. Earlier in the day, the sheriff's department announced Karr had been released.

He is a danger to society and needs to be kept locked up.

Isn't making a false confession a crime? It's obstruction of justice.

Once again, the liberal law enforcement establishment in the People's Republic of Boulder struts its incompetent stuff.

I was wondering about that, too.

The confession was false, but its content was true. -- Dan Rather

Of course he was cleared. This whole thing has been a joke from the beginning. Apparently the manufacturing of garments allows for DNA from the people making them to be deposited on the items. At least I just read that. That may be the source of the 'strange" DNA in JonBenets underwear.

He never made a confession. In Thailand he told the media he was "with" JonBenet when she died, whatever that may mean. Most of the MSM initial reporting was wrong.

Didn't that prosecutor out there sound just a little too cocky when she announced the arrest?

This story kind of took on a Dan Rather fraud feel real quick.

Maybe the Duke Lacrosse preview?

What sex crimes in thailand? He didn't do any sex crimes in Thailand. Plus they've dropped the charges against him in California so he's a free man.
