What puzzles me though is that the DA in this case must have something to be able to lay charges
Lou Smit (pro-Ramsey detective) claims there is fiber and hair evidence which has not been made public and won't...so as not to alert the perp that the authorities have it....this is old news, Smit made this declaration years ago.
Whatever "something" is, it was enough to warrant further investigation and nab Karr in Thailand.
The missing piece of the paintbrush used in the garrotte has never been located, plus, "all" of the autopsy photos were never released to the public, just a few and they are gruesome. There is speculation/news reports Karr provided details regarding the state of JBR's body which has never been made public.
He may be formally charged today....
is it a purely political move?
In this case, I don't think so, I can't imagine the DA bringing Karr to the US unless, they felt they had something. The last thing she wants to go on the record for is chasing a red herring.
katie....
