Clever, little minx

So, aside from thinking this JonBenet Ramsey arrest is totally bullshit, I have a question after reading an article on cnn.com about his extradition hearings.

Apparently, John Mark Karr has outstanding charges in California that have been withdrawn so that he doesn’t have to face charges in California. When he inevitably doesn’t match the DNA that was under JonBenet’s fingers and in her panties, does that mean he doesn’t have to face the charges in California?

If so, is this guy a criminal genius or what? Fly overseas, cop to a crime you didn’t commit that will get you extradited to a state when you also face charges, have those charges dropped, and then be acquitted of the crime in Colorado and walk out of the whole situation a free man.

This whole arrest is just strange and surreal and feels very unrealistic and fake to me. I do realize that the Boulder Police bungled this investigation about as badly as they could and it certainly leaves the possibility for a killer that no one knew or even suspected to show up a decade later and be guilty, but I just don’t buy it.
