Colorado prosecutors won't charge schoolteacher John Mark Karr with the murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey after tests showed his DNA does not match DNA found in her underwear, two local TV stations reported on Monday.

I just hope there isn't any retribution. I can see plenty of people, having already convinced themselves that mr. carr is the killer, feeling that her murderer is being set free, and therefore wacking the guy.
Do we know if he's done other pedophile stuff, or is he a talker and not a walker?
Well, he was charged with some other sex crime in Thailand, so I assume they'll still get him for that. And I can probably assume that his teaching career is kaput.
I thought he had been charged with something in California before he left the country.
