I watched the Lou Smit documentary on Court TV last night, and while he brought up some interesting questions as to what may be evidence and what may not be, I had to sit and look at the whole idea that the BPD seemed, to me, to be one sided. I guess my problem with it all is, that if indeed they had all this evidence they claim they have pointing towards the Ramsey's guilt, and then someone they called in to help investigate presented possibilities of some other scenarios, etc., why in the world did they just blow off all of his findings, essentially fired him from the case, asked that the grand jury NOT be allowed to hear any of his evidence and also wanted it permanently deleted from record? To me that is just wrong. I don't care who the case is about, that should NEVER be an option to dismiss any potential evidence or theories. What if they were allowed to dismiss the evidence pointing to SP in the Laci case? While I think the evidence that his lawyer is trying to bring in sometimes is far fetched, it still should be presented if it is indeed a fact or a possibilty, regardless of how someone feels about it. I like to think the jury will see through the BS, and they usually do.
I think the BPD has forgot that this is a case about getting justice for precious little JonBenet, NOT a who's right/who's wrong case. If they are right, they are right, if they are NOT right, then so be it and accept it! Deal with it! We all make mistakes everyday and sometimes we have to swallow our pride and just get over it!
I feel like if the BPD had enough evidence as so many seem to think they have, then they certainly would have indicted the Ramey's. They did not do that, so that alone should tell you something. It may come out one day that they really did this, but for now they have to investigate all avenues available and pursue the justice for JonBenet.
We cannot overlook these other things- I hear all the time people making fun of Lou going through the basement window, etc. He said last night that someone either went through the window or attempted to. He did not say they definitely went through the window. There was evidence there from the BPD photos, and I saw it with my own two eyes, where foliage was present underneath the iron cover going down to the window, there was disturbance of the dust on the window seal, etc. And these were photos that the BPD took. It doesn't mean someone went in that window, but someone did get in that area at some point.
The sloppy investigation should also tell you something. C'mon, if any of these other high profile crimes were investigated so sloppily, all these people who apparently are supportive of the RDI theory and the BPD, would have a fit! I don't get it.
I read these posts on here and no matter what other "evidence" may be presented here, someone always discloses it. I would hope that if this happened to my child, (while I know I would have to be investigated) I certainly would want the police to do a thorough job and all the evidence be presented, not just the evidence that suits the prosecutor or police departments thoughts, especially if it were sloppily investigated to begin with and THEY KNOW IT. That is just disturbing to me to think that someone can just take justice into their own hands and because they have a certain opinion about it or have so much pride, or think they're position in the investigation is superior and without fault, turn someone's life upside down without looking at all the facts and without taking into consideration they may have failed from the get go on the investigation and admitting it.
Pride! puh! phooey on that! Get the truth out there NO MATTER what it is! They could have solved this crime already, they look like bigger idiots now than if they had just said they messed up and needed to redo the investigation completely!
And as for this forum (and I may be banned for my opinion here) It seems like anyone who presents some other idea other than the one of the RDI, the thread is just closed. It doesn't matter if it is a ridiculous theory to some, it may well prove to have some merit and it may not. Why is it fair to close it? If people don't like that particular thread, then they can choose NOT to read it. I certainly do that myself when I get into a thread that has a lynch mob mentality to it. Of all the threads on this Websleuths forum, the JonBenet threads are the most unfair. If I am banned for my opinion here then adios! I think there are a few posters on here with quite a few screws loose! Sorry, but that is my opinion. Have a nice day.
