Warrant dropped

BOULDER, Colo. -- The district attorney has dropped the case against John Mark Karr, the suspect in the JonBenet case, Karr's public defender said Monday, in a stunning twist to what was already a bizarre story.
"The warrant has been dropped by the district attorney. They are not proceeding on this case," said Seth Temin, Kar''s attorney. He spoke at an impromptu news conference outside the Boulder County Jail. But prosecutors haven't yet confirmed that.
Karr was returned to the United States a week ago from Thailand, where he told reporters that he had been with JonBenet when she died, but that her death was an accident.
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," said Temin.
Temin didn't refer specifically to the DNA evidence but 7NEWS has confirmed that DNA testing failed to make a match between Karr and the forensic evidence in the case.
7News confirmed that Boulder prosecutors had sent DNA evidence in the JonBenet Ramsey case to Denver for testing.
"The Boulder district attorney did send us an official request to process a DNA analysis, and we are doing that," Det. John White told the Boulder Daily Camera.
Karr's first appearance in Boulder County Court had been scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Monday, an advisement hearing that was expected to last only a few minutes. That hearing was canceled.
"There will be no hearing today," Temin said.
Temin and Jacobson were at the jail for about three hours Sunday afternoon but declined to answer questions as they left.
Authorities in Sonoma County, Calif., who arrested Karr for possession of child pornography in 2001, said he had made "uncertain allusions to placing himself in the killer's role" in talking about JonBenet and 12-year-old Polly Klaas, who was slain in 1993 in Petaluma, Calif.
Karr still faces pornography and failure-to-appear charges in the California case.
JonBenet's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, were initial targets of a grand jury investigation that ended with no indictments. Patsy Ramsey died in June after learning authorities had turned their attention to Karr, who was living in Thailand when he was detained earlier this month.
In an earlier court filiing, prosecutors said they had evidence that has not been disclosed despite a decade of public scrutiny of the case. That evidence was never explained.
Investigators have said DNA was found in blood spots on JonBenet's underwear, but a Ramsey family attorney said two years ago it didn't match any of the 1.5 million samples in an FBI database at the time. Other physical evidence includes a ransom note, a boot print found outside the Ramsey house and some indications an intruder could have entered through a basement window.

>>Who could have guessed? It turns out that, after all, John Mark Karr's pee-pee didn't touch Jon-Benet's pee-pee, no matter how much he wishes it were true. Now watch -- he's going to turn around and sue Boulder for extraditing him without forensic evidence!!! AUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGH!!

Here is a question: have they ever tested the DNA of Jon-Benet's parents?!?!
