I see him as a victim too. Imagining him pretending to sleep while all that awful activity was going on, is bone chilling. He told a dr. that he knew what happened... 'Dr. Bernhard asked what he thought happened to his sister. Burke, showing the first signs of irritation during the interview, responded, "I know what happened, she was killed. Burke's explanation to the doctor was someone took her quietly and took her down in the basement took a knife out or hit her on the head." This makes me think maybe he heard/saw some things? And from how I read it, it seems like he's saying someone took her from her room, so you could be right about her being carried and the garland. The interview also said, 'When specifically discussing the crime, he related that he did not hear any noises that night and that he was asleep, but he admitted that he usually hears when someone opens the refrigerator door downstairs'. This is confusing, because we don't know if he was asked about the refrigerator or if he volunteered the information. If he was asked, why? If he brought it up, why? Did this have something to do with the pineapple? moo
dodie20,
BBM: good point. I'll bet he was asked about the fridge, since if he was sound asleep then he would never have heard anything anyway. It has to be some response to a question regarding JonBenet snacking pineapple.
quietly and hit her on the head: How would anyone know she was unconcious so quiet and had been whacked on the head so hit her on the head suggests BR knows more than he lets on?someone took her quietly and took her down in the basement took a knife out or hit her on the head."
He clearly was not as accomplished as his parents at lying!
