Governor Owens blasts Boulder DA

[El Supremo]

"Unfortunately, the hysterics surrounding John Mark Karr served only to distract Boulder officials from doing their job which should be solving the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. I find it incredible that Boulder authorities wasted thousands of taxpayer dollars to bring Karr to Colorado given such a lack of evidence. Mary Lacy should be held accountable for the most extravagant and expensive DNA test in Colorado history."

BTW, Owens has a long history of mouthing off on this case. And that was with the previous DA.

1. We're A Country Filled With MORONS!!

You actually believed these guys? Ya mean the media let us down? The officials told us a lie? Who woulda thought.

2. Blowens has no credibility here.

He's a lame-duck governor looking to throw a blame on someone -- hey Blowens, try your own Republicans. While we're at it, why not look at your illegitimate kids with your nanny? Willing to give DNA for that?

5. Did you maybe mean "illegitimate PARENTS"? There are no illegitimate

children.

3. Maybe if they subtracted the expenses incurred from the salaries.....

of the prosecutors it wouldn't be so bad and maybe then the prosecutors would think twice before mindlessly charging somebody with a crime.

6. Don't hold your breath. Ambitious prosecutors aren't deterred by lack

of evidence (whether planted, manufactured, or illegally obtained). We live in a nation full of police, prosecutors, and judges - in case you haven't noticed.

11. I know

Give it 20 years and with a new "Patriot" or "Sedition" act will be turned into an effective Wilsonian quasi-fascist police state like the state of terror Woodrow Wilson implemented against progressives, socialists, and others in the late 1910s and early 20s with the Palmer raids and the other thuggish pig police actions of his administration.

4. The level of incompetence on the part of the

police and DA on this case is almost beyond belief. From the morning of Dec. 26 when police officers basically allowed an "open house" at the crime scene to this latest fiasco, this has been one giant clusterfuck.

7. can you give some suggestions

of where to find the details of this story right from that morning?

I've avoided looking into it but now would like to do a catch up summary kind of thing.
I realise there is Tons of stuff out there, but hoping you or someone here can direct me to a link that will generally fill me in without spending 10 years reading about it.

thanks in advance.

8. Try this link:

I'm sure somewhere it will tell you how the investigation was botched.

10. thank you! this is what I was hoping for. ;) nt

12. Here is a great article I found just today

I've been following the case on and off over the years and this article shows how you can kill your child if you are rich and well-connected enough.
