Karr was caught via DNA:
He had been arrested in Bangkok Thailand on unrelated sex charges which gave law enforcement the opportunity to take a DNA sample. When the DNA matched, John Karr cofessed to the murder.
Sources say John Mark Karr had been emailing Patsy Ramsey with provocative and taunting details of the crime....
Sources say John Mark Karr had no remorse as he was confessing to the crime. On the contrary, he appeared to take a lot of pride in what he has done. Not an unremarkable attitude for a murdering, child sex offender.
So, what celebrity lawyer will try to establish Karr's innocence?
