Back To Square One

Just two weeks ago it seemed like the JonBenet Ramsey case was finally solved. A suspect had been arrested in Thailand and would soon be returned to Colorado to face the consequences of his 1996 crime.

Now comes word that the murder charges against John Karr have been dropped. This isn't all that surprising, since questions about Karr's mental competence began to arise almost immediately after he was first detained. DNA evidence finally ruled him out, and now it appears that he's nothing more than a whack job who wanted attention. Even worse, this means that there won't be another "Trial of the Century," for the news media to obsess on for the next six months.

Guess we can now all go back to calling the parents murdering bastards.
