THIS is a Defense? Yep — Probably the Best Available
JonBenet Ramsey’s alleged murderer is in custody. John Mark Karr, the person under arrest in Thailand, has a “creative” defense. Both he, and apparently the Thai police spokesman quoted in the short article, appear to have a unique concept about the emotional maturity of very young girls:
“He killed the girl by accident,” Immigration Police chief Lieutenant-General Suwat Tumroungsiskul told reporters after primary school teacher John Mark Karr, 41, was interrogated a day after his arrest in Bangkok.
“They fell in love with each other. She was very beautiful. So he kidnapped her and killed her by accident,” Suwat said.
JonBenet Ramsey was six years old when she was killed.
Yeah — I’d say Mr. Karr is building the foundation for an insanity defense. Why the Thai spokesman would help him out is anyone’s guess.

UPDATE: Interested-Participant remembers details that make Mr. Karr’s defense strained –
So, let’s see. Given that JonBenet’s hands were tied, her mouth was taped, and there was a ligature around her neck, I think it’s ludicrous to expect anyone to believe it was an accident.
