John Mark Karr is enjoying life
D-Chance.
Oh, yeah, someone around here knows when he's officially
entered his "15 minutes" and is taking every advantage of it.

"At the departure gate, he talked amiably with fellow passengers. He was not
handcuffed.
On the plane, the 41-year-old teacher sat in a business class window seat
next to Mark Spray, an investigator with the Boulder District Attorney's
office. A U.S. Embassy official and an agent with "Homeland Security" on his
T-shirt were also part of the escort party.
Before takeoff, Karr took a glass of champagne from a flight attendant and
clinked glasses with Spray, who sipped orange juice.
Dinner on board, served on a starched white tablecloth, was one many
passengers would envy. Karr started with a pate, then had a green salad with
walnut dressing. The main course was fried king prawn with steamed rice and
broccoli. Karr drank a beer, crushing the can with his hands when it was
empty, then moved on to a glass of French chardonnay with his main course.
The suspect was relaxed, smiling and chatting nonstop with the U.S.
officials next to him - until the television news crews on the flight turned
their cameras on.
