Oh lord Gerardo is saying, "the indictment proves there was a third person, and the unidentified DNA proves there was some sort of intruder"
I'm paraphrasing but :banghead::banghead::banghead:
It's really sad the misinformation that is created when the media's primary concern is reducing everything to sensational sound bites.

Jeffrey Tobin, CNN, believes the R's not involved.
Just curious what scenarios people feel are most likely, given that the language "first degree murder" was wrapped up in the "child abuse leading to death" indictments:
A) JR and PR knew that BR was using strangulation devices in his sexual molestation of his sister and did nothing to stop it or get him treatment, knowing that this sexual asphyxiation could one day lead to her death.
B) PR knew that JR was doing the above and did nothing to stop it (or vice versa).
C) The garrote and attempts at asphyxiation were part of the cover-up, not an aspect of the sexual molestation.

So do you guys think we will hear from John Ramsey? Not just a statement, but an actual TV interview? And do you think it will happen very soon (sometime next week) or could you see in in two months or so, near the anniversary, perhaps, oh here's John Ramsey to talk about how a crazy, misinformed GJ almost sent him and his innocent wife to jail?
You bring up a great point but who's to say that the parents did warn him about talking about what happened, even a child that age can grasp that talking about something could get them in big trouble and I have no problem believing that he would have kept quiet, he has all of these years.
Listen folks....for those saying they can understand the Ramsey's staging this crime to protect BR, are you for real? One of your children kills another of your children and you don't freak out and immediately call 911?!
That is absolutely-freaking crazy! I will never understand something like that. I have 4 children and if one murdered another, I would be the first in line to say, "Sorry, son, but we have to get you some help by calling the police and reporting this. You will be punished for this....but we will try to support you to get the medical and psychological help you need."
To think the parents would write ransom notes (chapters) and tie a garrote around their little girl's neck just to protect their son? No way. If they did something like that, they are insane. Maybe that's the problem.

lawstudent, I dont recall that anyone in LE considered Burke a likely suspect. Also, in Colorado children under the age of ten cannot be (at least they couldn't be at the time) charged with crimes, and Burke was two weeks shy of his tenth birthday when JonBenet died.
Do we even know for certain that BR wasn't sexually abused, as well?
maybe the threat of this kept him quiet for so long?
:dunno:
There's a myriad of reasons why the DA didn't proceed, one being he rarely proceeded. Investigators were always frustrated by this. Factor in the strange bedfellows at the time and the "why" is not so out of reach.Right - I'm saying a lot of people here seem to think this confirms that Burke did it - but what evidence would make the jury think it was likely that Burke was responsible for a first degree murder? The Ramseys were not charged with murder though, right? That's what the NYT says - some people were saying it could be the missing charges, but the NYT says they were never brought. So presumably neither of the parents was thought to be the murderer - who would they be an accessory to? Or did the jury find there was only enough evidence for an accessory charge, but not a murder charge, because they couldn't figure out who the murderer was? That would explain why the DA didn't proceed.
