John Mark Karr -- Protected From Whom?

I chuckled this morning when I saw Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pette refer to Karr as, "Mr." One of my key points in media relations lectures to legal and law enforcement audiences is to simply use the person's full or last name. Should an honorific be used with an alleged child rapist/killer, bank robber or even a jaywalker? No.

And when the sheriff says that Karr is being segregated for his safety it's not from other inmates that he needs to be protected.

When this sad affair plays out he'll need protection from the District Attorney and every gullible media person out there who played into this media farce. What an embarrassment. They could simply have asked California to bring him back for sentencing on the child pornography charge.

I don't think there's enough egg in Colorado to paint the faces of everyone who promoted/predicted Karr's guilt, including evey person who simpered up to a camera or microphone.

And Karr's not even charged with anything yet. Can someone tell me how many defendants in the past decade has Boulder received under custody from foreign countries for whom charges had not yet been lodged by complaint or indictment?
