what i dont understand is why karr doesn't get any sort of penalty for lying about committing the crime. why was there no obstruction of justice charges? the guy made a mockery out of the justice system and pointed out how retarded American news media is.
He didnt contact the police and confess. He was turned in by a prof. he was talking with, anonymously.
he originally confessed to the prof. but once he was in the hands of authorities, he confessed to them as well. i believe he even confessed to the media in public too.
He was arrested on a prior charge....thats why he was being sent back to the US...he's still in trouble for previous violations of parole.
