JonBenet suspect charges dropped? gay
This is getting retarded now. If he admitted to killing her. Then why not jail him. All he's looking for is his 15 minutes of fame.
JonBenet suspect charges dropped
Mr Karr had told reporters JonBenet's death was an accident
A man arrested in Thailand and accused of killing US child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey will not be charged with the murder, prosecutors say.
The case against John Mark Karr was dropped after forensic tests found that his DNA did not match that discovered at the scene of the crime.
Mr Karr, 41, was arrested in Thailand two weeks ago and had been due to appear in court on Monday.
He has said he was there when the girl died, but her death was an accident.
Outside court on Monday public defender Seth Temin gave a statement: "The warrant on Mr Karr has been dropped by the district attorney. They're not proceeding with this case.
"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."
'No forensic evidence'
Mr Karr's arrest sparked hopes in the United States that one of the most infamous crimes of recent years might finally be solved.
JonBenet was found strangled, her skull fractured
The BBC's John Kay in California says there has been hysterical media coverage of developments.
Mr Karr's ex-wife Lara has insisted he was with her in Alabama for the entire Christmas period of 1996.
And Mr Karr's family insisted he was innocent, saying he was deluded, possibly as a result of taking drugs.
JonBenet's body was found in the cellar of her family home after her parents had reported her missing on 26 December 1996.
She had been garrotted with a cord and her skull had been fractured.
JonBenet's family, who later moved to Atlanta, Georgia, fought for years to clear their names of persistent accusations that they were involved in the death of their daughter.
