Sounds to me like Mr. Temin just did his job and made a few postgame comments. I’m a prosecutor but greatly respect skilled, committed defense counsel. I have a friend in a Western State who does nothing but defend rape cases. She’s not pro-rape. She just understands what Jefferson said so well “Only when the least of us have rights will we all enjoy those rights.”

Thanks for the topic is an excellent prism to view the difficult topic of the role of defense counsel.

BTW, I think Dr. doriginality is off base with the “closet pervert” remark. He weakens a couple of otherwise good points with supposition and personal invective.

You advise Mr. Naumovich (we all know and love him as Dan) to not judge Mr. Termin’s statements made during a very complex situation, yet send him (Dan) a fairly strict warning that he, himelf should take caution against slander????? Mr. Termin is free to make public judgments about Mr. Karr, but blogfreespringfield cannot do the same of Mr. Termin? And I know Dan already commented on the irony of your “who are you people” statement posted under your “anonymous” username, but puh-leez!! You’re lobbing these lame pitches right at us.

Who are you?

Do you really think that Karr shouldn’t have been arrested given his statement

You’re right, I shouldn’t have judged Mr. Temin so harshly. But as a father of young children, I just can’t understand how anyone could be distressed that Karr was arrested after he claimed to have murdered a child, who claimed to have had sex with her, and who claimed to have tasted her blood. This wasn’t exactly a witch hunt.

Thanks for commenting, whovever you are.

I shouldn’t be posting, because the level of conversation is so low.

Did you see Seth Temin do an interviews during this entire fiasco? Did you see him on CNN, FoxNews, NBC, or any other station? No, you didn’t. Because he didn’t accept those interview requests. He said two lines at the end of this event. Those two lines likely represented enormous frustration at how the entire case was handled. Consider the circumstances. Other’s did.

Seth Temin has enormous integrity. He’s a public defender, not a supporter of child molesters. Don’t judge a person by a single statement made over a very complex situation. And do not accuse him of grandstanding. That is outrageous. And be careful where you tread. Slander results in liability.

Listen up jackass! Frequently the press gets the story wrong, but rarely does it get the ENTIRE story wrong. I don’t need to go to Los Angeles to know that it is a big city. I also don’t need to personally meet Karr to know that he is a freak. By virtue of him being arrested for raping and killing a child, having the charges dropped, but then having to answer to kiddie-porn charges in California gives us “hicks” a tip that there might be some problems with Karr. Temin is an idiot for publicly gushing over what a great guy Karr when the rest of the free world can see the muck dripping out of his disgusting pores. Fire gives off smoke.

Get over yourself Doc!

You’re right that my information comes from media accounts. Did Mr. Temin not say that he was “deeply distressed” that Karr was extradited? It seems a strange thing to get distressed about since he did confess to the crime, however dubious his confession may have been. I don’t know, maybe you and your friends are always joking around about drinking kids’ blood so you don’t thing anything of it, but that kind of raises a red flag for a lot of people, even my liberal friends.

I never said that Karr should be convicted for the Ramsey case, nor did I say that he didn’t deserve legal representation. But he is a sick man who obviously needs to be physically kept away from children. Maybe he could stay at your house. What do you think?

Perhaps I was too rash in my judgement of Mr. Temin, good thing you’re above that sort of thing, huh? I don’t know what to make of your prejudice of technology, but I can assure you that I have a measly 27” television and I’m still on a dial-up connection. I’ve never seen CSI either. I also don’t drive an SUV or eat at Hooter’s, if that’s what you’re thinking.

As for “closet pervert”, I’ll just chalk that up to your having gotten yourself all worked up and resorting to name calling.

By the way, where do live where there are no idiots? Were they all pissed off when you moved there? And are you a real doctor or are you just playing make-believe?
