MSNBCNBC affiliate KUSA in Denver cites two sources for its report
BOULDER, Colo. - KUSA, a television station in Denver, reported Monday that two sources said the DNA sample taken from John Mark Karr is not a match with the DNA found on JonBenet Ramsey's body when she was slain in 1996.
Earlier Monday, an attorney for Karr demanded that the state turn over all evidence related to DNA in the case.
Among other things, Seth Temin’s court filing asked for a clear description of any biological evidence, including how much is left and how it is being stored.
Eventually in this case, a court will have to analyze the admissibility of DNA evidence and its alleged statistical results,” the public defender wrote. “It appears that more than one laboratory handled or had custody of samples subjected to testing in this case and more than one expert has evaluated the samples and testing results.”
Karr was scheduled to be in court Monday afternoon for a hearing expected to last only a few minutes — long enough for the judge to advise him of his rights and charges against him.
Temin has already challenged the results of any DNA testing involving his client, saying it was illegally obtained. Prosecutors have not confirmed if they performed DNA testing on Karr.
Aggressive defense
Temin and Steve Jacobson, a retired public defender, spent about three hours at the jail Sunday and declined to answer questions as they left. Temin has been aggressive in his short time on the case, winning approval of a gag order and making sure prosecutors and anyone else comes through him before talking with Karr.
He also joined prosecutors in opposing media requests to unseal the arrest affidavit, using capital letters to spell out his contention that releasing the details would violate Karr’s right to a fair trial.
Jacobson is considered a DNA specialist, and DNA could be one of the major issues should Karr go to trial. Jacobson’s name wasn’t listed on Monday’s court filing, but it focused on the rules and procedures of DNA testing, right down to definitions of false positives and “multi-probe genotypes.”
DNA key, experts say
The best-case scenario for prosecutors would be slam-dunk DNA evidence linking Karr to the Ramsey’s former home, where JonBenet’s beaten and strangled body was found by her father on Dec. 26, 1996.
Without it, experts say, it’s much more difficult to build a strong murder case against the 41-year-old Karr, who has said he was there when the girl died but stopped short of an outright confession.
“In this day and age of shows like ’CSI’ jurors not only want forensic evidence before they will convict a person, they demand it,” said Robert Hirschhorn, a jury consultant based in Dallas.

He's still a kiddie porn sicko who always made a point of trying to find jobs that would put him in close proximity to children. If it were up to me, I'd have him brutalized for that even if the whole JonBenet thing had never happened.

I don't know if he was ever in a prison, but he was arrested by Thai officials by request of either officials in California or Colorado so he couldn't up and disappear before US officials could get ahold of him and take him back here. I don't believe he was in any danger of being incarcerated by the Thais.Superman wrote:Wasn't the guy in a Thai prison? He probably just wanted out...

No, I think California is going to want him back to face the misdemeanor kiddy-porn charges he was facing when he fled to Thailand.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Now he can go back to Thailand and have the sex-change operation he's always wanted...
