The Governor of colorado all but accused the Ramseys of murder

[Roon]

You'd hope that his apology wouldn't be the last. I wonder if Bill Owens is beginning to work on his. He's in Jordan now - because the governor of Colorado is needed in Jordan - and it's going to be a long flight home.

After all, it's one thing, if you have a radio show, to fill up air time and light up the boards. And if you work for a tabloid, well, you work for a tabloid - and so you accuse the young brother of killing his sister.

Owens is another story. He rushed in front of the cameras to stop just short of accusing the Ramseys of killing their daughter. I don't know his motives, whether it was for a quick political turn or a case of Owens Boy Scoutism or whether he's planning for his own talk show in retirement.

The Boulder DA had put the Ramseys under the "umbrella of suspicion." And Owens provided the lightning and thunder. He had investigated the evidence and announced, to the surprise of the investigators, that there was "significant new evidence," and that was good enough for him to join the tabloid nation.

5. Okaaaay...

And what great state are you from? I'm sure I could make up some ridiculous generalization for you.

CO may very well turn blue in November. Will you still call it evil then?

6. Hey, it's got its evil

like every other state..in California there's swartzengrouper, in New York there's patati, in Arizona there's mccain, in Connecticut there's lieman, in Utah there's hatch,..ect, ect, ect.

In every state you're gonna find evil but there's good all around, too, and that's what we're buildin' on.

4. turn it off if you don't like it

sheesh

[Lerkfish]

8. there are a lot of threads I don't like, either

I just don't open them.

[Lerkfish]

7. as far as I know, there has not been a trial or a conviction, except in

media, which has already found him guilty.
Sure, he'd prolly guilty...of something. But what I know RIGHT NOW about his story is fishy, and I don't know hardly anything.

9. I'm sorry... has Karr been convicted of this murder?

No?

Then it's still officially unsolved and no one needs to apologize to anyone. It's standard faire for the police to investigate the parents when a child is killed in the home.

[Hamlette]

11. I've not heard sufficient evidence to convince me he's guilty. n/t

[KurtNYC]

12. not sure that I follow that argument

No one is convicted therefore the governor gets to accuse whoever he likes?
