BOULDER, Colo. - KUSA, a television station in Denver, reported Monday that two sources said the DNA sample taken from Karr was not a match with the DNA found on JonBenet Ramsey's body when she was slain in 1996.

Samples of Karr's saliva and hair were taken in Boulder after his arrival on Thursday, KUSA, an NBC affiliate, reported. Those samples were tested over the weekend at the Denver Police Department's crime lab, the station reported.

Public Defender Seth Temin, Karr's lawyer, told a news conference that the charges against Karr had been dropped.

In addition to first-degree murder, the charges against Karr included felony murder, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree kidnapping and sexual assault on a child.

Temin said he was “deeply distressed” at Karr's extradition from Bangkok, Thailand, to face charges in the Ramsey case.

He also said a hearing for Karr on Monday afternoon had been canceled.

yup, just as I suspected.

This is going to be great for my practice, though, during voir dire involving confessions. This is just a friggin goldmine for me.

To say nothing of the goldmine of emotions for her family. After he's flown from Thailand 1st class, wined and dined. Lock him up for 10 years or so for his 15 minutes of fame.

now if they could just find the murderer of Nicole Brown Simpson.

He is in FL looking for him self.

It seems to me that what Karr has done, titilated the public and misled the police with his false confession must be in some way criminal. I don't understand why they don't charge him with obstructing justice or something like that.

[Dis]

hmmm, this gives me an idea.

I should confess to killing Natalie Holloway. this way I could get nationwide attention and fame. This would be a great way to meet women.

[Sikander]

Yet another embarassment for the Boulder County DAs office.

[Japher]

yup, had to wait until it got to Boulder to mess it up

You want the kind of woman who gets turned on by the thought of getting murdered? I'm sure they do exist, but me, I'd like them to stay as far away from me as possible...

Isn't this guy still up for child porn something or other in another state?

[SlowwHand]

Yes indeed he is.

[SpencerH]

Answer to own question (see above) .............


none.

[SlowwHand]

He's not guilty in this murder case. He's guilty as Hell in other aspects and cases.

[Blaupanzer]

Now that he's not a murderer, can he go back to just two names without the middle name, Mark. That habit of the American media to insert the middle name of major murder suspects is really wierd. Yes, he's into child porn; yes he'll get years in prison for that; but no, he's not anyone in any way important unless you are a collector of stories about famous false confessions.
