    New York Post - It Sounds Like DA's Been Had


    by Steve Dunleavy

    August 19, 2006 -- BOULDER, Colo. - Never before have I ever heard a prosecutor exhort so passionately the need to consider a nasty insect to be presumed innocent.

    "It tells me the case is going south," said local attorney Larry Posner, referring to statements made by District Attorney Mary Lacy.

    Trip Demuth, a former Boulder DA, said tersely: "I think she has been had."

    On Thursday, DA Lacy appropriately remained tight-lipped about details of the case, but reminded everyone umpteen times that John Mark Karr is presumed innocent.

    Bob Grant, a former DA of adjoining Adams County and a friend of Lacy, said: "I do think it's time for healthy skepticism. Mary is a great prosecutor and although she had every probable cause for extradition, I think her words have shown she has a lack of complete confidence in her case."

    Grant was involved in the initial investigation in the murder of JonBenet Ramsey 10 years ago.

    "Apart from a circle of main suspects, we had an additional 100 suspects - which we eventually cleared - and, of course, there were three different men who came forward and confessed."


    Karr's miserable life of perversion, which started when he was a teen, makes him a prime candidate as a professional confessor - or is there something more?

    Apart from local authorities here, Thai police had taken dramatic interest in Karr, probing whether anything happened at his job - at a Bangkok school where he taught girls ages 6-12 until he was fired.

    "Yes, the prospect of a Thai jail might certainly be a good motive to confess and get out of Bangkok - and get over here immediately to recant whatever confession he might have made," said Grant.

    Thai corruption

    I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bribe of some sort from the RST and Thai officials had no idea of the weight of the case.

    Bribing of government officials from police to school teachers is rampant in Thai culture and more akin to tipping. Not to steroetype but Thais I've know are amoung the greedest people on the planet, addicted to gambling and ruthless. Some are even willing to sell their own children into prostitution for a buck.
