JonBenets brother files suit against pathologist
Corey Williams, Associated Press 12:04 a.m. EDT October 7, 2016
Detroit The brother of JonBenet Ramsey filed a defamation lawsuit Thursday against a Michigan forensic pathologist who told a Metro Detroit media outlet that Burke Ramsey killed his 6-year-old sister.
The complaint alleges that Dr. Werner Spitz said in a Sept. 19 interview that 9-year-old Burke bludgeoned JonBenet to death in 1996.
Spitz made this accusation without ever examining JonBenets body, without viewing the crime scene, and without consulting with the pathologist who performed the autopsy on JonBenet, the complaint filed in Wayne County Circuit Court in Detroit says...

BetteDavisEyes,
I'll bet this case goes nowhere. Its probably a public cease and desist warning to journalists, publishers, etc. it should get tossed at its first hearing: BR is a public figure, Spitz's comment is free speech regarding both BR's public performance and the CBS Special. Reverse the chronology and BR has a slim chance.
Who killed JFK, think of the suits that should have brought, or all the crime shows that name suspects, Spitz will likely claim on the media outlets public insurance policy?
The curious side effect is that it generates more Burke Ramsey Killed His Sister headlines!
