I have been reading on this forum since I was referred here from the Laci boards at CourtTv. I really appreciate that this case has not been forgotten. There are several cases in the news involving young offenders, the NY 9 year old girl who stabbed her friend over a ball dispute, and the 7 year old boy in Florida who murdered his infant sister because of jealousy. I have had a hunch that BR played a part in this crime since first reading about it. A dear friend of mine from work one day confided to me through her tears that they would be sending their 13 year old son to live with his aunt after discovering he was molesting his 7 year old step-sister. The reason that came out in his counseling sessions was his intense jealousy, he wanted to hurt his step father and the best way to do it was to harm his baby girl. An interesting parallel to this case, the little girl is a beautiful little blondie like JBR. Her parents obviously show the little girl favor over her 2 step brothers and one real brother. She is in ballet, swimming, even modeling. This experience of knowing a real teenager (not sure how long the molestation went on) could do this to his own step sister confirmed for me the possibility that BR could have done this to JBR. I have read on this forum that Colorado has specific child crimes protection laws that may explain a supposed cover-up by authorities there. My question is, it seems with the case in NY that the 9 year old girl will be dealt with through juvenile court. Although they haven't mentioned the suspects name, it is being reported that she was 'arrested' and appeared in court. What is it about Colorado that wouldn't permit a child to be dealt with by a lesser court while still protecting his identity? The Florida case seems to have revealed the identity of the perp, indirectly at least, by identifying him as the step brother.
