THINK WRONG AND YOU MAY BE RIGHT

As many, I was shocked when after ten years of searching for Jon Bennet’s killer, an ill- looking skinny red-eye American living in Asia is brought to the US to face the law for this crime. However, somehow the whole thing didn’t make any sense to me. You are entitled to say: “Hey, who cares? It’s just breaking news! Another crazy pedophile somewhere in the world!” Well, I do care. Why? First, because I have a child, and after he was born, I take any attack to children very personally. Secondly, I was surprised that this man was brought to America in such non-traditional expedite process and with so much "convincement" about his criminal assessment.

Against any logic and even after he declared himself guilty… PAW!… Not true. He was not in there, no DNA match, whatever… He turned to be not guilty of the crime he had already colorfully confessed. Then? Was the American audience tricked again? Oh YES. Big time!

Whoever has a little bit of knowledge about the law in other countries, especially in the Asian world, must be very well aware that crimes are heavily punished over there. Once in jail, forever in jail. Or almost. Drug dealers, rapists, killers… they all share the same dark hole, the same shitty cell, the same smelly clothes.

My grandma used to say: “If it smells like dead dog, there must be one lying around.”

Karr was to face charges for child molestation in that country, way before he admitted killing Bennet. How appropriate… And in such perfect timing! Yes, he would have gone to jail there but I bet (and here is where my conspiracy theory starts) that there was a smart-killing pro who knew the law, twisted it as much as he could and saw the only exit this man could have. Yes, 10 years later, we had our long-searched killer and we brought him back home. Asia lost one soon-to-be prisoner pedophile, and the US… well, the US got the extradition of a criminal.

And that is only MY theory. Go figure your own.

Karr will face his charges anyway… but here… in the land of the free, far away from the “uncivilized” Asian jail. Isn’t this brilliant? I wonder how much that lawyer charged. Maybe he (ok, or she) could help with the "muertas" of Juarez case.

Happy Thanksgiving!
