"Well not to pick on you Linask,but you must not have read "Actual Innocence".This type of one sighted police work happens far more than we think."
Against wealthy, white people?
"No evidence!!! I've been posting here about this case clearly alot longer than you have. For starters, how do you explain John's shirt fibers in JB's genital area???"
yes, we've been over this many times.
"My God If thats all you need to convict them i dont want you on my jury.Seriously,fiber evidence of a family member could happen all kinds of ways.Fiber evidence is only convincing to me when it is from a source that shouldn't be there."
But it's NOT all, paperhanger. I could give you a list if you like.
"A Grand Jury did, and it could not even reach a finding that probable cause existed much less the existence of evidence that could support proof beyond a reasonable doubt."
But Wudge, number one, they had to decide which parent did what. Second, we KNOW now, thanks to Mr. Schiller, that those Grand Jurors were in EXTREME denial about how parents could do this to their child. Have you read what FBI agent Walker said about it? He said he's known cases where parents DECAPITATED their kids.
"Likewise, a Federal Judge, Judith Carnes, thought the same thing. She drafted a niney-three page report that, fundamentally, exonerated the Ramseys as best as one could expect from a bench report. Though she did say some rather poor (I'm saying it nicely) things about the BPD and some of its people."
Wudge, none of the police evidence was introduced into that case. Everyone knows that.
"Because they are in denial, they don't want to believe that a parent would do such horrific things to their own child- yet some do. Some parents are monsters like Susan Smith for starters."
There's a lot of that in this case.
"I think there are as many experts saying she wasnt as there are saying she was."
No. The great majority say there was. I can even name them for you.
"You are still not convincing me with the fiber evidence though.Example:Your husband comes home from work.You are folding laundry.He hugs you.A fiber attaches to you You fold her undergarment.It falls to it.She puts it on.she goes to the bathroom later ,There it is.See totally innocent.Like I said fibers mean more when its someone who should never have been there leaves them."
But that didn't happen here. PLUS, fibers from Patsy's jacket were tied into the rope. Figure that one. She says she never went to the basement. She says she never saw that rope. Hmm.
That said, I'd like this guy to be the guy. But, as criminal profiler Pat Browne said yesterday, if this isn't the guy, she's right back to suspecting the Ramseys because, and I quote, "most of the evidence points to them."
"Still waiting for links to this strong evidence."
You got it! The doctors who said there was abuse over time were:
John McCann
David Jones
Virginia Rau
James Monteleone
Richard Krugman
Ronald Wright
Robert Kirschner
Cyril Wecht
"i have no doubt that most of us do believe parents are killers-that doesnt mean we have to think patsy and john are?"
You and I have to agree, newtv. Statistics are to be used the way a drunk uses a lamppost: support, not illumination. But if that was all it was, I could follow you the rest of the way.
"Unfortunately there have been cases where children are not safe from intruders in their own homes - remember Jessica Lunsford and Danielle VanDam?"
Those cases bear NO resemblance to this one! Those killers got in, grabbed the kids, got out, took them to where THEY felt safe, did the deed and dumped the body. None of that happened in this case.
"UHHHHHHH, do you wash all of your family members cloths in a different washer,dryer and then scour the lent traps afterwards? You can find any fiber from any person anywhere in a house they live in. You people are grasping at straws."
Those panties were completely new. She'd never worn them before.
"She had DNa in her panties in a spot of blood, DNA that didn't match her dad....in her genital area.....DNA!!!!!"
Which the forensics people said was too old to have been from the crime.
All I know is, I would convict in a trial. You can say ANYTHING you want about that statement. You can HANG my butt from a flagpole, but I will have my say.
