...real issue, critics say, is an old rural coal mining town, which had been 90% or more white, unable to come to grips with its new demographics."It becomes discriminatory in effect, if not in intent," said David Vaida, an attorney from nearby Allentown who is a local counsel on the lawsuit. "I'm not willing to tar anybody who is in favor of this as a racist, but what I do know is that the effect is going to be racist...
...same, police and prosecutors in Boulder, Colo., where JonBenet died, must have had significant evidence to persuade a Colorado judge to issue the warrant for Karr's arrest. "There is a fairly lengthy sealed warrant," says L. Lin Wood, the Ramsey-family attorney. "[Boulder County district attorney] Mary Lacy believes she's got the guy." Investigators say privately that Karr knows things about JonBenet's death that only the killer could know. And then there was the tantalizing detail reported last week by the Rocky Mountain News that investigators in Lacy's office were in contact with a high school...
...Karr's past does raise suspicions. When he was arrested in Bangkok, he was living in a dormitory-like guesthouse in a neighborhood frequented by sex tourists. Before that, in 2001, soon after he moved to California, the Sonoma county district attorney issued an arrest warrant for one John Mark Karr on five counts of child pornography, after the suspect failed to appear in court.

He has, of course, not yet been convicted or even charged with the crime. Boulder County district attorney Mary Lacy stressed in a news conference Thursday that her office, despite the confession, is still sifting through the evidence and proceeding with exceptional caution. "There have been no charges filed at this time," Lacy pointed out. "There is a presumption of innocence." She also seemed to suggest that the arrest...
...obsessed with little dead girls," says Klaas, pointing out that aside from the admission of guilt, Karr appears to have "no connection" to the crime itself. It isn't yet clear how - or if - Colorado police established that Karr was in their state when JonBenet was murdered. Ramsey family attorney H. Lin Wood, however, says he doubts prosecutors would make such a high-profile arrest without being sure of Karr's whereabouts on the day of the crime...
