John Mark Karr is looking for a job that requires a criminal background check
John Mark Karr is famous for having masterfully played the American justice system. Picked up in Thailand on charges related to sex with children, Karr immediately confessed to some ill-defined connection to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey in Colorado. Karr, who fled the United States when he was picked up on child pornography charges in California, was deported by American authorities eager to close this high profile case.
This despite growing concerns that Karr was making the entire thing up, something I suggested the very day the story broke of John Mark Karr's arrest and confession.
As it turned out, Karr was making the entire thing up. Once he was safely out of Thailand, Karr could only laugh when the Ramsey charges were dropped when the evidence clearly showed Karr had nothing to do with the murder. As for the charges in California, those were dropped too, as it was revealed that in the years that had passed, the evidence was lost.
So John Mark Karr is a free man. And with no criminal convictions or outstanding charges, he can apply for any job he likes.
John Mark Karr went into a police station in Birmingham, Alabama, and requested a background check:
John Mark Karr, a former Alabama resident who gained notoriety for falsely confessing to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, has requested a criminal background check of himself as part of a job search in Georgia, police said.
Karr, 43, unexpectedly showed up at the Birmingham Police Department on Wednesday seeking the screening, said Chief A.C. Roper. Karr received a form confirming he had no convictions in the state.
It is not reported if John Mark Karr was looking for a particular job. Let's hope it's for something like a security guard. I say that because another sort of job that routinely requires a criminal background check is child care provider.
