False Confession Accepted?

[Trino]

It's obvious that Karr's attorney will immediately request Karr get a psychological evaluation. I can't help but feel it will reveal a man in a distressed mental state, a man who was obsessed with JB's case, a man who had a desire for notoriety and a man with a death wish.

There appears to be quite a few inconsistences between the crime, Karr's confession, and even his placement at the scene - so much that attorneys, as well as ordinary people, are questioning Karr's involvement. The DA may take a hard fall over this one.

The arrest to make certain nothing happened after Karr began his Thailand teaching job is ridiculous when Karr certainly could have been fired on the spot for his past. Did the DA learn from Bush about pre-emptive strikes? And, when all is said and done, will there be no "weapons" to show Karr's involvement in killing JB?

I'm not defending Karr's past; I just don't think he's the one who killed JBR.

I agree-its only if they can verify it beyond a reasonable doubt that they can accept it and then I dont believe a trial will take place..I think he will simply be sentenced.
I was also thinking about how everyone is disputing that he could be the guy since he said it was an accident?
The thing is I would say it was an accident to avoid the punishment of premeditation.
And he sounds like a pedophile in so far as minimizing what happened.
It doesnt mean it was accidental just cuz he is saying so.
(I know it wasnt-but him saying that it was does not mean it is a false confession in and of itself)

I agree his saying it was an "accident" seems like something anyone would say, even if they did commit the crime. But his saying "he picked her up from school" and drugged her, those are comments that already don't seem like they could possibly be true. I think he is a nutcase and probably a pervert as well. Maybe even a child molester. But I don't think he killed JBR. I have no idea in the world who did, but this just doesn't pass the smell test. I wish it was him and that this case could be solved, but I don't think this will be the solution.
This is just my opinion.

My only thought on any of this - after hearing him confess and repeating the words "second degree murder" like he thinks he can control his own conviction - makes me think he wants to be locked up and away from hurting children - forever. This is his chance.

I do know first hand from a serial killer, that sometimes they do want to be stopped and kept locked away from hurting other people. So, if it's a false confession to get himself off the streets, it makes sense.

But what a great defense strategy. Commit a crime, confess, but change enough details that no one believes you and you are aquitted.

If he really did it, this is risky but brilliant. You know, the best defense is a good offense, and all that. He would KNOW what has been withheld from the media, and he pretty much knows what they have after 10 years. Instead of looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life, a "not guilty" verdict would put an end to the anxiety AND make him slightly famous.

Exactly.

Perhaps his "confession" is confused is because he has had other victims and they all run together as one big JBR fantasy in his mind?

I do not know if he was involved with JBR. Unless there is DNA or something to place him in Boulder I kinda doubt it at this point.

His odd statements and behavior do make me think about that long rambling ransom note.

People keep saying he speaks with a soft southern accent and wonder if he uses phrases like fat cat, southern common sense, or hense,....

Further I don't really understand why LE or the Ramseys would be getting blamed because they found this guys behavior suspicious and did something about it. I mean the guy IS saying he was with JBR when she died and does have a very bad background.....and needs to be kept away from kids. Just because the media ran with it to the extent it did does not mean anything innapropriate has been or is being done by LE, the Ramseys or those that support them. At least I don't see it that way.

If any guy ever breathed a single word saying he was the killer of my child...damn sure I would have LE on his to find out if it was true.

I'd like to know where he is getting all this $$$ to travel around so extensively - Thailand five times in two years?????
