Is it noted anywhere if the killer was right or left-handed, they can tell from the knots on the ligature, and while i'm asking questions, why was evidence removed from their home in Charlevoix (even a door?)
I'm sure this has been asked, & I'm slowly working my way through the threads, but can anyone tell me what kind of relationship Patsy maintained with John's children? before & after, I guess. What about John with his children? JonBenet was their little sister & I would think that they were devastated.
I think she thought the grand jury would vote to indict her, so yes, I'm sure her lawyer discussed what to expect in jail & prison. But, I wonder how she would've actually been treated. She was so different from the average murdering mom, that the other prisoners might have just kept their distance. She was rich & uppity, had cancer, was most definantly weird, & wasn't grounded in reality, @ all. Could they have related to her? But then again, she seemed to be closer to her housekeeper, & JonBenet's seamstress than her society friends. Those are the people who judged her mothering & were planning the intervention. So, who knows...Not that it relates to anything, but I have a question.
I've often wondered if PR ever asked what happens to murdering mothers in prison. Just to clarify: if I were in her position, even if I WERE innocent, I would ask that.

Even if indicted, I doubt Patsy would have ever seen the inside of a prison cell. This was Boulder and she was wealthy. Her lawyers would argue and altered mental state brought on by drugs to treat her cancer and anxiety. Patsy took Klonipin. And they would have some justification for that.
One thing that is obvious- in all that questioning, and in the years afterwards, I never sensed that they were looking for the killer of their daughter. Instead of badgering the police to find the murderer, they avoided them and acted unlike any parents I've ever known.
