Odd. Very odd.

I only saw COUNTS IV and VII(a) from John's True BIll. Where can I read COUNTS I, II, III, V, VI or any COUNTS beyond VII(a)?

Right on!Because there has to be accountability. 3 of the 4 people in the house that night knew who did it and no one held that person accountable. As long as we, the court of public opinion, keep the conversation going...... Yeah, its a life sentence as generation after generation holds them accountable.
Power to and of the people.
In addition, perhaps friends of the Ramseys, neighbors, housekeepers or family members such as Nedra and John's older children were called to testify about what kind of behaviors they observed in Burke and whether they ever mentioned it to PR and JR.Perhaps BR had a therapist who voiced his/her concern to JR and PR.
The grand jury also had subpoena power for medical records...correct?
I totally agree! IMO, I think JAR or JR was sexually abusing them both. I lean more towards JAR. MOO.Ok, so just a thought....if Burke was playing sex games with his sister, it's because someone started playing these games with him first.....we aren't sure who, maybe JAR, maybe JR....but what if that was part of the reason for the coverup.
Say for a minute that the parents were savvy enough to recognize that if Burke had done sexual things to his sister, they had been done to him....and if the police learned that Burke was the one abusing JBR....a logical path they would have looked into is who was abusing Burke.....and maybe that was a trail they really didn't want to take the police or public down.
I used to work on a children's unit in a psychiatric hospital and a lot of the children I took care of had RAD. Burke could possibly be one of those. IMOsomebody on YT posted this link from the NY Times. Almost difficult to read to be honest. I admire parents who are dealt a rough hand and persevere, and do their best to raise 'good' kids. But in some cases it sounds like the genetics are against you.

The Grand Jury had to have learned of the danger that was posed to JBR and that the parents did not follow any recommendations
which would have kept her safe. That is clearly spelled out in their wording of voting to indict. The G.J. has the power to subpoena medical records as well as doctors/pediatricians/teachers.

Good read. Somewhat shocking.
I know that Burke's medical records were off limits to investigators. That's too bad, because I would like to know what if any meds he was on before and/or after the killing.
Thanks for biting. I wonder what is in the COUNTS that we do not have. I wonder if the GJ determined that one, or both, of the parents were the murderer(s), but unable to determine which, indicted both. I have seen this happen to two men who beat one of their wives to death but no one could determine which one struck the blows. Both were charged and convicted of murder. It is possible that one of the COUNTS was Murder in the First Degree, isn't it?
Without being able to read all the counts I can only guess that they covered for Burke and knew that he was a danger to his sister but failed to heed warnings.
Then I want to know who warned them that Burke was a danger to his sister? It seems that the GJ must have had some evidence of a warning in order to 'True Bill" Count IV.
Who would be able to testify that Burke posed a risk of bodily harm and even death to his sister?
Perhaps BR had a therapist who voiced his/her concern to JR and PR.
Maybe because the GJ had actually indicted Burke, but he is being protected because he was unable to be prosecuted.
