Karr-toon Media

Still in page-count hell. Rather than slamming the media, as everyone else is doing quite rightfully and admirably, I do have a quick real question, and hoepfully one of our law-enforcement readers can help me out.

Why fly Karr to the US if a DNA sample is all it took? Why not just hold him in custody in Thailand? Do they not have advanced cheek-swab technology in Thailand?

I mean, the fine folks of Boulder paid for that perv's first-class ticket, right? Is somebody going to ask this question of that DA? I ask seriously, and please correct me if I'm not understanding -- was this justified as SOP in this kind of case?

Oh, and one quick mention to the media before I go back to work: I understand pretty dead girls are good ratings. So here are some. Maybe you could drag your asses over to take a look at this story, please? I know it's hard, and scary, because you might actually have to ask questions of Important People Who We Should Trust. But I have faith in you.
