John Mark Karr "marches to the beat of a different drummer"

So says his attorney, Jamie Harmon.  As a lawyer and writer, NBS is always interested in how people express themselves, and how they choose to make a point.  Having a total freak like John Mark Karr as your client, though, would pose some difficulty.  What do you do, try to make him look normal?  Not likely to work with someone who was looking into a $1,600 Bangkok sex change.  [Apparently the Democrats are right--people are looking for cheaper medical care abroad].

Or do you admit that he's weird, and try to convince people that it's wrong to judge someone just because they're different?  Apparently that's what his attorneys are going to try: 

"He is a different sort of person than most of us walking around on the face of the planet, and that differentness has been construed in the media as wrong or somehow unbalanced," she said. "And I don't find that to be true at all. I found him to be very engaging, very bright, very articulate and very, very much appropriate in his emotional response to what is going on."

Doesn't it suck when clients give you no option but to argue that the sky is green and grass is blue?
