Karr is offered freedom as part of plea deal

SANTA ROSA, California (AP) -- One-time JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr was offered a plea deal Tuesday on child pornography charges that would free him on probation. Assistant District Attorney Joann Risse said prosecutors would waive three of the five child pornography possession charges against him if he pleaded guilty on two remaining charges. Karr, 41, would get credit for time served and would be placed on probation for three years. He also would be required to register as a sex offender. Karr, a schoolteacher, was arrested August 16 after making phone calls and writing e-mails suggesting he killed Ramsey, a 6-year-old beauty queen, in her Boulder, Colorado, home in December 1996. He was returned to the U.S. from Thailand only to have the Ramsey case collapse

Can our system be any worse. This guy is a danger to our children. He wants our children. By him going free like this hes probably thinking its ok to touch our children and do as he wants. Hes preverted! If not jail time then he should be put in a hospital for a long while to try and help him.

UPDATE:

Karr rejects plea deal in child porn case

SANTA ROSA, California (AP) -- One-time JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr has rejected a deal from prosecutors that would have freed him on probation in exchange for a guilty plea on child pornography charges, his lawyer said. My client has maintained his innocence throughout these proceedings, and he is not going to plead guilty to a crime that he did not commit," Karr's attorney, Robert Amparan, told the San Francisco Chronicle. We have no intention of accepting that offer," Amparan added.

I hope this backfires. Somehow, I hope the computer is found and he gets locked up for whatever the maxium time is.

He's a freak.

If he's ever out on the streets I figure someone will 'take him out' . Someone wanting to make a name for themselves, or someone who suffered from the kind of abuse that he dishes out to children.

Seriously ... in jail or out in the world ... I don't think he'll have along life.
That's not a threat or endorsement of his death .. that's a prediction.

Wait... this is the sick duck that confessed to killing a little girl in an obscene hoax just a few weeks ago?

"He is not going to plead guilty to a crime that he did not commit"

How do lawyers sleep at night? :shk:

Lawyers, can be ridiculous. Everyone knows this is man is psycho to be just let go, to have his freedom, to walk the streets among us is a serious problem. Hes just one out of thousands that wants to hurt our kids.

UPDATE


Well it looks like its over with. Karr walks. Its over with.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - A judge dismissed child pornography charges Thursday against former JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr after prosecutors said they didn't have enough evidence to take the case to trial. Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Rene Chouteau ordered Karr released immediately, bringing an end to his two-month odyssey in the U.S. criminal justice system after he was extradited from Thailand on suspicion of killing the 6-year-old beauty queen.

Maybe this thread should have been titled, "How to Travel Halfway Around the World and Back for Half Price."

Is Karr a nut or a genius?

We report, you decide.

Obviously he must be a genius.

Cause he did it. He came all the way to the states under lies.

Surly he should have to pay that back or something. To just let this man go and to travel our streets and go to our playgrounds. Hes a sick man. He needs help.

Legally, I think he must be liable for some of the costs he caused to be incurred by law enforcement. I'd really hate to be him. His employment prospects are probably pretty slim.

I was thinking the same thing. I sure hope no one hires him. Especially a school. Or anyplace that has kids for that matter.

Man why can't they lock people up like him in a hospital for a while to get the help they need. They need to understand that touching children and lusting after a child is not normal. They need to understand to look the other way if they see a child and their mind starts to think bad thoughts.

Our government is doing wrong by letting these offenders off and telling them their ok. Just register and let us know where your at. Yeah right like thats gonna stop them. Come'on theres something wrong there.
