For me, it is the busload of innocents who have been thrown under the bus. My friends on here know my theory. But even if IDI, the perp adds to his/her evil by allowing suspicion to be cast on others.

He has spoken, mostly to say that he still holds out hope for JBR but won't spend any tax payer money unless a smoking gun slam dunk prosecutable case emerges. That said, he has put the Ramseys back in the bucket of suspicion.

Dave, I've been away. What has happened? PM me or e mail me. I am taking my gloves off...

I have to say that the debate about Burke makes me horribly uncomfortable. He was a child when all of this happened and I have come to think that the family was badly damaged and attributing any blame to a child sits uncomfortably with me. But...too many innocent people are still being libelled...

Must say, I rather thought that one of the points of Dave's book was to identify the systemic failures that produced this awful injustice since a) the public at large is clueless about them and buy the media stance without question; and b) a guide on how to fail at justice (and, ergo, how to...

Dave, I am so proud of you. I can't find the words to describe how delighted I am for you. WRT your real name, my biggest fears would surround the random wingnuts who have inserted themselves in this case. I suspect you have been abused by them before so they may not frighten you any more...

Happy Birthday JonBenet: I'm so sorry that everything you might have become was stolen from you and that you were let down by so many.

To the DA's department: Why - for the love of all that is holy - did you put motive above evidence in dealing with this case? 'Family' murders are notoriously hard to classify motive-wise and a lawyer of Hunter's seniority should know how quickly before a crime the motive can appear: a...

You know, Madeleine, I am a a major major supporter of ST but I genuinely think he was seduced by the parallels between his own life and that of John (see, eg, his commenting on his personal affinity with John in the interviews) and his incredible belief that Beth would have confided in someone...

Actually, chrisshope, I think you have hit upon an issue that could batter the common law criminal systems in the next few years.

Didn't want to start a new thread but thought I'd flag up a book that I think will interest a lot of posters on here. It's called 'Defending the Guilty' by Alex MacBride, a barrister. While not a treatise on this case, it has some comical parallels here and there and is a slightly scary but also...
