Five Misdemeanors and the Wacky Professor = Global Manhunt
Five Misdemeanors:
Mark Karr currently faces five misdemeanors for possessing child porn in California, charges that date back five years. His bail is an astronomical $200K, largely, one would think, due to 1) the threat of flight by the defendant, though he probably has no money or passport at this time, 2) the sensational nature of the whole sordid JonBenet Ramsey case and his false confession, which probably caused the judge to set a ridiculous bail instead of having him held for a psych eval, which is clearly called for.
For a bunch of misdemeanors, the guy should either be set free or be held and quickly checked for the ability to understand the nature of the charges, etc. Why even set a bail? He's only gonna get probation and time served no matter what, unless he's found incompetent. In which case he'll be committed until/if he's able to stand trial.
These charges were filed five years ago and are the reason that Karr has been on the run overseas ever since.
Five misdemeanor charges.
========================
The Wacky Professor:
While on the run, Karr began to send emails to a grandstanding U. of Colorado professor interested in the Ramsey case by the name of Micheal Tracey, apparently claiming that he, Karr, was present at JonBenet Ramsey's death. I would expect a professor of journalism to get a clue at some point that Mr. Karr was simply a delusionial man trying to make a name for himself. Karr is sick, and I'll bet the ranch that Tracey knew this was a wild goose chase from the beginning.
The first time I heard Karr speak on TV (I believe it was after his arrest in Thailand), I said to myself "No way in the world did that guy do it. He's just sick."
========================
Now that the country is on the hook for another $70 billion in military spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, what's a couple of million more so that mommies and daddies can feel good about putting their kids in those sickening t 'n a prepuberty beauty contests, then act all outraged when wack jobs like Karr get turned on.
Karr obviously has no family that give a shit, since he's been blowing in the wind since this started. If he does have family and they have turned their back on him, they are a sorry lot.
