CBS has formally asked a court to dismiss a lawsuit filed on behalf of Burke Ramsey over a 2016 docuseries in which a team of analysts concluded that he'd murdered his sister, JonBenét Ramsey, in their Boulder home on Christmas Day 1996. In response, Ramsey family attorney Lin Wood summarily rejects the arguments made by CBS and Dr. Werner Spitz, a participant in the docuseries being sued separately for comments he made last September during a WWJ-AM/CBS Detroit interview publicizing the program.
[...]
We had a hearing...in Detroit on the defenses motion to dismiss the case," he notes. "Interestingly, despite the defense having provided to the court a DVD of CBS documentary and stating it was 'central' to their opinion defense, Dr. Spitz never provided to the court a copy of his WWJ radio interview wherein he made the statements complained of in the lawsuit. When the court requested a copy at the hearing, it appeared to my team that his lawyers were reluctant to provide it to the court."
Not sure if this was shared yet. More at the link. Interesting that at the hearing the judge stated he wanted to listen to the radio interview but did not have a copy, only a transcript. If LW indeed provided one, why would he delay the dismissal for a copy of the radio interview.
I'm not a lawyer but IMHO- a copy of the radio interview is a copy of the interview. That does not make logical sense.
