Agreed. What is the sense of putting duct tape on the mouth of a dead child after you've fed her pineapple, painfully inserted a pointed paint brush into her vagina, stun gunned her, bashed her head in and strangled her, during which time she's not uttered a peep?
There's a common sense element to the "intruder" theory that won't wash.
For the sake of argument, let's say there was an intruder who intended to feed something--pineapple, it turns out--to JB, but also intended to stun gun/taser her for control or some such.
How would an intruder, unknown to JB or her family, know that she would not scream bloody murder when he/she woke JB in her bedroom, in the middle of the night? HOW could he know that? With three other people sleeping in a quiet house, in a quiet neighborhood, is it feasible that someone intending to kidnap, or to harm the child in any way in the home, would risk the unknown factor? JB COULD have screamed bloody murder, kicked and fought, and her father could have come running with a gun while Patsy called 911, etc. There is no way to know that wouldn't happen.
It's the same thing with the stun gun/taser theory. There is no one who has ever used a stun gun on a conscious person or animal--even Doberson and Smit had the pig anesthetized--who doesn't know the result is hollering, screaming, thrashing about, etc. As the plethora of online/TV videos of people being actually stun gunned/tasered prove, stun guns/tasers do not knock people out. In TV interviews with the Taser company's owner, he said that's not what they do, and he would know. This includes children--remember the young child who was tasered by LE at a school in Florida a couple of years ago?
But Lou Smit would have us believe that an intruder who intended to either kidnap JB or kill her on the premises would have waltzed in and hit JB with a taser several times. He'd have to have gone in without knowing that the taser he was going to use on his victim, while her family slept nearby, was going to result in her screaming bloody murder. Why would he think that unless he never once used it on anyone before, just figured he'd wing it during the commission of felony murder of a child, and hope for the best? And LUCKY HIM! Contrary to the reality of what happens to others who are tasered, she never uttered a peep!
Come on; that's so absurd it's amazing that anyone would believe it.
The fact that the Ramseys claim never to have heard a thing that night is additional proof that no stun gun was used on JB, even if similar marks hadn't already been photographed on her lower leg during a photo shoot long before the murder. But they had, and we have the photos to prove it.
