I just watched day two of the Dr. Phil 3-part special (part three is Monday). Some thoughts:
I don't find anything outrageous about his comment that JBR's eye was drooping in her casket at her funeral. That's because it is consistent with a nine years old's appropriate behavior in response to death which includes morbid fascination.
JR continues to throw Ramsey friends under the bus by saying their friends pressured them to go on CNN just days after their daughter was murdered.
BR does not answer the question posed by DP re: the ransom note - Does that look like your mother's handwriting? He dodges it by going into a story about how she'd always bug him about having good handwriting and she always made him re-write stuff to try and get hum to have good handwriting, and he thinks it's too sloppy. A simple yes, no or I don't onow would have been better. I think he suspects she did write it.
I had never seen or heard of the Larry King interview with both the Ramseys and Steve Thomas! I must find and watch that interview.
DP asks, Did you go to the pageants? Answer: "I just remember she would just like, you know, go out and just flaunt whatever on stage, and she wasn't shy I guess." Im not sure why I dislike this statement. Could it be a hint of victim-blaming?
JR said this IS my final interview. Hmm. Interesting. Like someone else said, is he dying?
Child psychologist asks BR in video how long food does food normally sit out on the table? Answer: "Not very long."
But as others have pointed out, the biggest revelation was about the flashlight and BR's admission that he got up after being put to bed. Remember - the Ramseys, police and family friends all denied owning the flashlight, but now it comes to light that JR put BR to bed that might with the flashlight. (To quote NG... Bombshell!) DP: "Your dad has said he used the flashlight that night to put you to bed, and then you snuck downstairs to play." BR: "Yeah, I had some toy I wanted to put together. I remember being downstairs after everyone was kind of in bed. I wanted to get this thing out" (the new toy). I'm not big on the BDI, but this does suggest to me that - like others have said - he could have been a witness or it shows no intruder would be there waiting to kidnap the more valuable child... Why not kidnap Burke? He was a lot taller than JBr, but he was only 9, and thin. In fact, why not kidnap both and get double the ransom.
