John Mark Karr, who confessed to, but was cleared of, complicity in the 1996 homicide of JonBenet Ramsey, will appear in Sonoma County, Calif., court this morning and likely will have a date scheduled for a trial on child-pornography charges.

Karr has a right to a jury trial within 30 days unless he waives that right, Sonoma County District Attorney Stephan R. Passalacqua, said.

Karr was brought from Thailand last month after he implied in a series of e-mails that he was in the Ramsey's Boulder home when the murder was committed. Karr's DNA didn't match that found on JonBenet's underwear, and there is no evidence that he was in Boulder at the time of the murder.

He was taken Tuesday from the Boulder County Jail to California.
