John Mark Karr's relatives offered the movie and book rights to the family's story in hope to hire a high-level lawyer to defend the schoolteacher against charges he killed child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey. Karr's father and brother hired actor, author and producer Larry Garrison to represent them in any media deals and to help them find a top lawyer to represent Karr, who is in a Los Angeles jail awaiting transfer to Colorado to face allegations he killed the six-year-old girl in 1996. Garrison told The Associated Press that while the family's film and book rights are secured, no money had changed hands yet. He said he promised the Karrs a portion of any money made by the effort. "They're not looking for money for themselves," Garrison said. "They're looking to support John's boys' college education and to make sure all legal fees are covered." Karr's brother, Nate Karr, confirmed that Garrison now represented the Karr family.
