Karr family offers book and movie rights

Relatives of John Mark Karr today offered the movie and book rights to the family’s story in the hope of hiring a high-level attorney to defend the schoolteacher against charges he killed six-year-old 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 attorney to represent Karr, who is in a Los Angeles jail awaiting transfer to Colorado to face allegations he killed the girl in 1996.
