News In Briefs

We're Back!

Like a Phoenix from the ashes, News In Briefs is back and refreshed! I tried to keep posting on an ultra slow connection the last two weeks, and gave up for the most part. Your normal service will now resume:

John Mark Kerr will not be prosecuted for the killing of JonBenet Ramsey after DNA samples failed to match. Ramsey was apprehended in Thailand and admitted to being with the six year old at the time of her death, but not being responsible for it.
"... no evidence has been developed other than his own repeated admissions to place Mr Karr at the scene of the crime," said the statement on Boulder County District Attorney Mary Lacy's decision to drop the arrest warrant.
"... in particular because his DNA does not match that found in the victim's blood in her underwear, the people would not be able to establish that Mr Karr committed this crime despite his repeated insistence that he did.
"The DNA taken from JonBenet's underwear, which was found to be the saliva of a white male mixed with her blood, has never been matched to a suspect in the murder.
JonBenet's parents, who were once said by authorities to be under an "umbrella of suspicion" in their daughter's death, were also excluded from having left the DNA.
The collapse of the case against Karr left authorities without a suspect in JonBenet's murder.

Brazilian palaetologists have discovered a new giant dinosaur called Maxakalisaurus Topai. It is said to have a huge body and be closely related to the Tyranosaurus Vanstoneus which terrorized immigrant populations.








VANSTONE HUNGRY!
