I'm Deeply Distressed That He Lives

"We're deeply distressed by the fact that they took this man and dragged him here from Bangkok, Thailand, with no forensic evidence confirming the allegations against him and no independent factors leading to a presumption he did anything wrong."

Defense attorney Seth Temin for John Karr.

Um, how about a confession idiot? Nobody alleged or presumed anything but him. Drudge says that things are developing that Karr may be held for child pR0n charges in California.

I can't remember where I read it, but someone else said that the Thai police were looking at him for possible charges of their own, and that his confession in the Ramsey case was likely his bid to escape the Thai justice system. If true, one can only hope that the deal we made with Thailand in getting them to turn him over was that if he walked here, we'd send him right back. I'll chip in a couple of bucks for airfare.

He was also a teacher for a short time here in Costa Rica, which in recent times has had to crack down on sex tourism for kiddies.
