I Don’t Buy It
August 18th, 2006 at 9:20 am by Preston Taylor HolmesThis is the part of the blog where I make a rare visit to Greta-Von-Horseface territory.
When I first heard the story of the alleged confession in the Jon Benet Ramsey case, like most people, I was relieved and wanted the guy beheaded at once. However, when I saw the little weasel on the news yesterday, my revised reaction is that he’s a lying media-whoring bastard. There’s no question the guy’s a freak of nature, but at this point, it appears that he’s looking for a way to bask in the media’s glowing, warming glow.
Others are starting to have doubts as well.
“It’s clear to me that he’s somewhat interested or maybe even obsessed by the case and the real question is whether he’s inserting himself into it for some obscure psychological reason,” said author Carlton Smith, who wrote 1997’s “Death of a Little Princess: The Tragic Story of the Murder of JonBenet Ramsey.”
District Attorney Mary Lacy refused to say whether authorities have evidence linking Karr to JonBenet’s death at her Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996.
“We should all heed the poignant advice of John Ramsey,” said Lacy, quoting the girl’s father. “Do not jump to conclusions, do not rush to judgment, do not speculate. Let the justice system take its course.”
It’s going to be interesting to see how this all eventually shakes out. But since I will have lost interest in the story by about 7 pm tonight, someone else will have to do all the attention-paying when it finally does.

Stik questions the timing………
He believes that this is the medias’ attempt to divert attention from the fact that Annika has been INSTALANCHED.

Isn’t it strange that this confession comes out at exactly the right time to make Senator Lieberman look good? Clearly, it’s just another plot hatched by Rove, much like the British faux-terrorist plot.

I don’t buy it either. Dude didn’t do it. The good thing is it’s going to be really easy to prove it one way or the other.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that Karr DID murder my daughter. He SAID he did it…sheesh, what more do you want?
Time to close the case. Forever. As soon as possible…

There is some serious sock puppetry going on ’round here.

No Neat Endings for the JonBenet Case…
John Mark Karr has confessed to the decade-old crime, but doubts about his story persist. Can he be …

New Democrat,
How did I miss the fact it was Rove trying to help Lieberman?!?!?!?! It’s so obvious now!
From the beginning I doubted this guy did it. He poses for the cameras–he is enjoying the attention.
He was obsessed with the Polly Klaus case and even wrote to the murderer of Polly. He then turned his focus to JonBenet, but no one can even prove he was ever in Boulder and his ex wife says she was with him on Xmas of 96.
Now, authorities are saying he knows things about the case that were never made public,so I can’t say 100 percent he didn’t do it with that piece of info, but I am still inclined to believe he is a sick, child molester who had a fixation for JonBenet.
