    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>BOULDER, Colo. - Prosecutors abruptly dropped their case against John Mark Karr in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey on Monday, saying DNA tests failed to put him at the crime scene despite his repeated insistence he killed the 6-year-old beauty queen.The move came just a week and a half after the 41-year-old schoolteacher was arrested in Thailand and put on a plane to the U.S. in what was regarded as a remarkable break in the decade-old murder mystery that had cast suspicion on JonBenet's parents.Karr, 41, will be held in custody by the Boulder County sheriff's office pending extradition to Sonoma County, Calif., to face child pornography charges dating to 2001. Earlier in the day, the sheriff's department announced Karr had been released.Sheriff Joe Pelle said Karr will be held in the same jail cell where he's been since last week. He described Karr as "polite and cooperative."Boulder County District Attorney Mary Lacy?s office did not return repeated calls from The Associated Press. A news conference was scheduled for 10 a.m. MT Tuesday.Defense ?deeply distressed??The warrant on Mr. Karr has been dropped by the district attorney,? public defender Seth Temin said outside the jail, a few hours before he was cleared in the Ramsey case. ?They are not proceeding with the case.??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 that he did anything wrong,? Temin said.Earlier in the day, Denver?s KUSA, citing two sources close to the investigation, said that hair and saliva taken from Karr in Boulder after his arrival last week were tested over the weekend at the Denver police crime lab and that he was ruled out as the source of the DNA taken from the crime scene. Prosecutors later confirmed that.The schoolteacher?s arrest in Thailand a week and a half ago was seen as a surprise break in the decade-old murder mystery that had cast suspicion over JonBenet?s parents. But inconsistencies in Karr?s account immediately raised suspicions that he might be an obsessed follower of the case who confessed to a crime he didn?t commit.</div>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14553130/?GT1=8404----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I knew it! This guy seemed way too fishy and he seemed to try his hardest to prove himself guilty when alot of evidence was in his favor.

    I still don't know who dis jonbenet bi*ch is or why we should care? It's like that article I saw some time ago:A white 15 year old girl gets kidnapped 8 miles from her home. The crooks even left, and yet the stupid bi*ch just stayed there until cops FINALLY found her. A black 8 year old(mightve been younger) girl gets kidnapped by 2 guys, she not only calls the cops and has them arrested, but I think she beat em up or something too.

    What's with that egg, is Melanie pregnant? Oh wait, s to the s has one as well. Is BBW getting a chicken? On this case, I bet when we look at this like 20-30 years from now. It'll still be the same with probably more false suspects and the truth never being revealed. Kind of like the new movie coming out, the Black Dahlia as I stated in the other thread. It's been a decade and this case will need a breakthough to be solved.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I still don't know who dis jonbenet bi*ch is or why we should care?

You should have spun it in another direction like the media pinpointing this one case when there are thousands everyday of the same. Or comment on how media can be a death warrant in some cases, ie Return to Paradise.

    Not really. I wouldn't care if it happened to my 21 year old sister, my 26 year old brother or my parents. And Rok, I meant to add that there are tons of these cases, and not just children, but all ages, but I forgot [​IMG] I don't see why this stupid case should be special, aside from she's white in a whitely racist country.

    Oh, not only that but it's TEN f*cking YEARS OLD. Jesus. Half the country has gotten over 9/11 and that was over 2000x more people dead than this. I hate tabloids. And shallow people who buy them. If we wouldn't care about their stupid lives so much, they wouldn't be celebrities!
