what's odd is,even though one of the questions was 'did JonBenet have anything to eat?',thus tipping the R's off,they still chose to say JB was carried straight to bed asleep.what was so important to override the pineapple snack,was it the snack itself,something more..such as the condition of her body(which of course would a be a top priority),or both?
We started out SOOOOO on the same page tonight then my brain when haywire on you.
I agree, one of the biggest problem in this case for the R's was that Burke said she walked inside from the White's dinner party and they said she was asleep.
My thoughts as I was trying to go to sleep tonight were exactly what you said above- Then I got up and came back to Websleuths.. because I thought...
If we 'play make believe' and give every single possible 'benefit of the doubt' to try to MAKE the R's innocent...
Imagine for a moment that the stress of the kidnapping/murder of their daughter screwed up their brains enough that NONE of their answers to ALL questions can be held against them as any sort of evidence of their involvement in the crime or in the cover-up... So their statements are out...In this same vein of thinking all of their actions post murder are out, eliminated for the same reasons mentiioned above and because for whatever reason(s) they called their lawyers immediately. (Team Ramsey F'ed up this case!!! THEY prevented it from ever being prosecuted!) Once their lawyers were involved the R's actions were not 'their own'. Team Ramsey took over and WAS in charge with the R's, (and for that matter Lou Smit and the DA's office too), being lead around by the rings in their noses. -So eliminate their words and actions for the sake of argument. OK?
All we have is the hard evidence- (and even some of it must be eliminated-the fiber evidence and the DNA evidence under the fingernails)
The house/yard and all clues they holds (windows, doors, window grate, snow, grass, American Girl Doll, the painting in JBR's room, etc.)
JBR's body and its evidence
The ransom note
The bat and the flashlight
JBR's clothing- on her and off-
The blanket
The tape
The garrotte
The broken paintbrush and shards
The paint tray
The suitcase and contents
The ransom note
The notepad(s) and 'practice note' and fingerprints
The Sharpie pen
Foreign male DNA touch evidence and foreign male DNA mixed w/victim's blood
The green garland fibers in hair
(etc. What else??? Add to the list-)
The fiber evidence and fingernail DNA evidence is out as well because it BPD allowed it to become contaminated by not securing the crime scene and by not using sterile clippers on each fingernail.)
What do you have?
I'll start...
1. ransom note- The only person tested who could
not be eliminated as the writer
by all experts, even Ramsey hired experts who reviewed the RN was Patsy Ramsey-
2. all items used in the murder came from within the home
3. a suggested kidnapping with the murdered child found inside her own home
4. no foreign fingerprints or DNA on any
thing connected with the murder(the flashlight and batteries---huge issue--
One question here why would an intruder be so careful as to not leave a single fingerprint, fiber, hair, etc. yet so careless as to leave touch DNA and DNA mixed w/JBR's blood??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)
5. fingerprints on note pad ransom note was written from- 1 print-CBI agent- 1 print- BPD who took the pad on the 26th from JR and 5 prints from Patsy Ramsey- (John gave BPD two pads one was PR's and one was his...)
Now.. you have to throw out all evidence which points to the R's that could have been there because it was THEIR home and THEIR daughter...
What's left...
Poor dead JonBenet...and NO Justice for her........
The problem was and is... There were and are too many people in charge of seeking justice for JonBenet who were and are still "Playing Make Believe"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
