| Post on 28-09-2006. |
| SANTA ROSA, Calif. An angry judge and an embarrassed prosecutor: the result could be dismissal of child porn charges against ex-JonBenet Ramsey suspect John Karr.But even if the Sonoma County, California, judge agrees to toss out the five misdemeanor counts, fresh charges are possible.Investigators have lost the computer seized from Karr in 2001. Prosecutors say their copies of its contents are also gone. The judge criticized prosecutors for misleading her by withholding that information.The lost evidence means prosecutors may not be able to prove their case regarding the original five images. But one sheriff's detective testified he found 16-hundred pornographic images on diskettes, C-D's and one removable disk drive taken from Karr.Prosecutors won't say whether that material will be used to file additional charges.The hearing continues Friday.
