Suspect Arrested, Then Not Charged, In JonBenet Ramsey Murder Case (1 Viewer)

[MarkHastings]

Aren't we forgetting the obvious?The Parents Did It!!!

 

[RobertR]

Yeah, it's so obvious that charges have never been filed in the case.

 

[Henry Gale]

Since this is the HTF.....

Johnny Caspar: You can't say, "I told you so."
Tom Reagan: I don't say that and I don't like people who do.

He will have more than his 15 minutes after they charge him with making false statements to law enforcement. He might not have done this one but I would be willing to bet he has done something in the past.

 

[RobertR]

But his fame was connected to the Ramsey case. Without it, he's just another generic pervert-weirdo. He will fade into deserved obscurity.

 

[dany]

The DA needs to fade with him,man what a hugh,costly screwup.

 

[Johnny Angell]

How many times did we hear how professional this DA is? She's has to have good cause to bring him back, we were told more than once.

They're not charging him.

The guy confessed, right? What does a DA do in the face of that? Ignore the confession because he might be nutcase? She/he can't do that. Once a suspect confesses it would be incumbent upon the DA to bring the suspect back to the USA. Wouldn't it?

It turned out that he was nutcase. Why should the DA take heat because that turns out to be the case? A suspect confessed and the law demands that an investigation be carried out. The DA just did her job as the law requires.

Lots of people confess to crimes they didn't commit. Boulder gets my vote as the reigning USA champ for legal incompetence.

 

[Michael:M]

Does anyone else wonder if there was a "conspiracy" between prosecution offices? He's back in the US, and heading for Cali, to be processed for charges around child porn. I have to wonder if the Denver office coordinated with the prosecutors in California; the Denver DA knowing the case wouldn't go anywhere but it was a good way to get Karr extradited to the States and ultimately to California to face the charges already filed against him.

 

[Chu Gai]

I'd spin it that way if I was the DA. Personally, I don't think they'd go through all this effort just to get him on kiddie porn on his PC when there are such bigger fish to fry.

 

[dany]

She could have done some leg work like was he even there when she was killed{no}.
Get his dna and do a check{no}.
Most of what he said in e-mails were wrong.{important stuff}

 

[D. Scott MacDonald]

If DNA could exonerate this nut job, then why not the parents? Why the double standard?

 

[GuruAskew]

I somehow doubt that it's worth demolishing the credibility of Colorado law enforcement to bring some two-bit child pornographer back to the US from Thailand where people like him are a dime a dozen.

 

[Jeff Gatie]

Well, in the eyes of the law, the parents were never charged, so you could say they were exonerated. In the eyes of the public, well that's another story.

I think that's Boulder, not Denver. I don't think that DA could coordinate a kid's birthday party, let alone what you suggest.

On Greta Van Susteren's show last night, the legal experts said just extraditing someone from one state to another for a misdemeanor (child porn) is pretty rare... doing it from overseas is probably unprecedented.


> The guy confessed, right? What does a DA do in the face of that?

Uh, get some other evidence! How about the fact that many of the statements Karr made conflicted with the existing evidence (like saying he drugged the girl, when evidence said there were no drugs).

A false confession is no reason to go to the trouble and expense of flying someone halfway around the world.
