JonBenet suspect's lawyers seek to block DNA tests
2006-09-10
BOULDER, Colo. (Reuters) - Lawyers for JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr asked a judge on Friday to stop prosecutors, at least for now, from testing DNA from the schoolteacher or forensic evidence in the decade-old case.The request came amid a series of legal manoeuvres the day after Karr returned to Boulder, Colorado, where the child beauty queen was found strangled to death on December 26, 1996. Karr is due for his first Boulder court appearance on Monday.Seth Temin, a public defender who met with Karr for the first time on Friday, told a Boulder County district judge in court papers that any DNA samples from his client were not taken legally because his attorneys should have been consulted first."If such a sample has already been obtained it was not obtained pursuant to applicable law, the (state or U.S.) constitutions or by valid consent," Temlin wrote in the court papers.
