LOS ANGELES -- John Mark Karr "marches to the beat of a different drummer" and is anxious to travel to Colorado to face the allegations against him in the slaying of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, an attorney says.

But the timing of his trip is up to authorities, who have been tightlipped about when he'll be transferred. However, 7NEWS has confirmed that it won't be Wednesday.

Karr agreed Tuesday to go to Colorado without a fight about extradition. In a two-minute court appearance, he was impassive and his expression changed only once when he slowly closed his eyes as the judge recited the count of first-degree murder that Boulder, Colo. prosecutors included in an arrest warrant.

The comments about Karr's personality and mental state came from attorney Jamie Harmon, who attended Tuesday's hearing and whose partner, Patience Van Zandt, represented Karr when he was charged in 2001 with possessing child pornography in Northern California.

"He wants to go now," said Harmon. "Mr. Karr has been portrayed by the media as of late as being mentally unstable, attention-seeking, unwell, mentally unwell. And he is none of those things. He is anxious to have an opportunity to address the allegations against him, to be portrayed in a more accurate and complete way."

The attorney, who said she and Van Zandt would be advising Karr in some capacity, said Karr was "not subject to ready categorization or easy answers."

Attorney: Karr Marches To 'Different Drummer'

"You've heard the expression, `He marches to the beat of a different drummer?' John Karr marches to the beat of a different drummer," Harmon said.

She described him as intelligent and unusual.

"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."

With the order from Superior Court Judge Luis Lavin, Karr was available to be picked up by Boulder authorities at any time.

Karr, who had been photographed in Thailand and on his trip to the United States wearing civilian clothes, appeared in court wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, his hands cuffed to a chain around his waist.

His attorney for the hearing, Deputy Public Defender Haydeh Takasugi, said Karr was concerned about appearing in jail attire rather than civilian clothes.

"It's going to taint any potential jury pool out there," Takasugi said. "He was upset at that."

Ex-Wife: Little Girl 'Fantasies'

On Wednesday, Quientana Ray, who married Karr when she was 13, told ABC's "Good Morning America" in a pre-recorded interview aired on 7News that Karr was controlling and used to tell her about fantasies he had about little girls.

"I was drugged and things were done to me without me having any idea," said Ray, who is now married with a 4-month old child.

Her parents, Melissa and Larry Shotts, said they also discovered letters Karr wrote to their daughter that were signed "S.B.T.C." -- the same initials found on a ransom note left in the Ramseys' home. They did not show the letters during the interview and it wasn't clear if they still had them.

Report: Karr Admits Entering Ramsey Home

Karr told law enforcement officials in Los Angeles that he entered the Ramseys' Boulder residence about 5 p.m. on Christmas Day, and hid until he heard the family arrive home, around 10 p.m., CNN reported.

He learned his way around the house that night, the law enforcement sources said he told them.

"I got into the house around 5 o'clock at night . . . and I stayed there all night," the sources quoted Karr as saying.

"Everybody says I couldn't know my way around the house, but I got in the house around 5 o'clock ... and I stayed there all night," Karr said, according to the source quoted by CNN.

Karr's attorney Jamie Harmon was at CNN's Hollywood studios when that report aired Tuesday night, and she expressed dismay.

"I had no idea" that Karr made such comments, said Harmon .

Evidence Against Karr Unknown

Boulder prosecutors have not disclosed their evidence against Karr in the Christmas, 1996 killing of the beauty pageant princess. The crimes stated in the arrest warrant were not formal charges, according to Boulder County District Attorney spokeswoman Carolyn French, who said the crimes listed in the warrant are possible charges.

In addition to first-degree murder, the counts against Karr in a sealed probable-cause arrest warrant include felony murder, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree kidnapping and sexual assault on a child.

Perhaps the most unexpected was the possible felony murder claim, which means prosecutors are either accusing Karr of killing JonBenet during the course of a sexual assault or kidnapping, or alleging he was present while someone else killed the girl.

Felony murder carries the same penalties as first-degree murder: either life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

"It's a perfect insurance policy for the prosecution in Colorado," said former Denver prosecutor Craig Silverman. "Even if a jury were to somehow buy that this was an accident, any death during the commission of a kidnapping or sexual assault is first-degree murder regardless."

Felony murder is often described as allowing "vicarious liability" and could relate to Karr's statement to reporters in Thailand on Sunday that he was present when JonBenet died and that her death was an accident. He did not specifically say he killed her.
