CBS had a billion disclaimers up, and I think by BR going to DP, he himself opened himself up for criticism. I don't think too many courts are going to find this defamation.
Lamima, I hope you didn't think I was trying to minimize your having heard the beginning conversation. I was frustrated for years that no one seemed to hear the same thing I heard at the beginning, and not many could see the implications. Indeed I was very happy that you did hear it -- and even more so that you heard it independently. It is there, and if people will pay attention to the change in tone of Patsy's voice when she realizes the phone has been answered by the 911 operator, it will tell them even more about what was going on during the call.
Dunno how many will agree with me but this is just my feeling.... I think Smit was the only person on the IDI team who really believed IDI. I really believe this, he was so obsessed with this and you clearly can see he did it with passion. Sometimes I pity him. I truly believe he was manipulated even if he definitely was not a stupid man. They knew he is the only true IDI out there and used him and how he felt about the case without having any remorse. MOO
Madeleine I totally agree with you. If Lou Smith would be alive and see the CBS show like we did he would have to change his mind. He was just another victim of the R's. IMHO
I agree, BR put himself out there with Dr. Phil and therefore put himself out there for public scrutiny, so what did he expect really? He put himself and allowed himself in the limelight. Didn't he expect any critisism?
Did he reply or block you? He's already blocked me, so I can't like your comment or I totally would!!I don't think it will last long, and I'm sure he'll block me after I tweet this.. But here's what I'm about to tweet:
@LLinWood made a deal with @DrPhil to put Burke out ahead of negative stories. Money for Burke, publicity for Woody. #StupidestLawyerAlive
@LLinWood Result of Woodys action? Burke is now a public figure making slander lawsuit harder to prove. #StupidestLawyerAlive
(Maybe I'll get sued too.)
And I encourage anyone else to use the same hashtag!

But surely there were people telling him that the stun gun didn't make sense and the marks didn't match - right? He wouldn't listen. He got lost in his own fantasy of what happened.
Also, I believe when Lou Smit met the Ramsey's for the first time they prayed together. When he found out they were christians he knew they were not capable of such a crime. Some people erroneously believe someone of deep faith would never commit a crime much less kill a child.

BBMI heard "we need an ...Police" as if the word after 'an' was to start with a vowel.
I heard "we're not speaking to you" - clear as day.
Then "How could you do this? Help me Jesus."
and, "what did you. . ."
Three distinct voices.
I can understand why he found it hard to believe either parent killed JBR. I never met them, but from what I've seen over the years I can't believe they would harm her body when she was alive or dead. But why didn't Lou Smit consider Burke? Perhaps he did and he too decided a cover-up was the best alternative.
So once again, lies and money rule. Justice was not served for this little girl, but hey, it savedWell, Smit was Alex Hunter's choice as an investigator. Whatever Hunter's reasons, he was firmly pointing the investigation *away* from the Ramsey's since the early days. Heavy campaign contributions? Threats from the Ramsey's lawyers? Eventually I believe he knew what he was facing - a child who had killed his sibling in a pretty horrible way, but who could not be charged. The parents could be charged with neglect and assistance in the crime, but the scandal and possible lawsuits would reflect badly upon his department and on Boulder in general. In some areas, lying is seen as a better way out than facing a horrible truth. And God only knows what threats the Ramsey's lawyers had made by that point. Also, what good would prosecuting the parents do - one child was already dead and the other stood to be removed from the home and placed in state custody, possibly for life. High costs any way you look at it.
