this very topic is hard for me to take..just because who stands to gain from a conviction is jon benet..
If its a true conviction..
maybe title the thread who stands to gain from a false conviction.
It just doesnt seem right to assume that there is a conspiracy to find a flase conviction.
It would take a lot to arrange that and imo they would have done it much sooner if it was about taking the heat of them-ramseys.
John has a new life-I dont think anyone has stopped JOhn from living his life..he has carried on and has more credibility in the world as a non murderer than patsy had.
If Patsy were alive there might be some bizzare reason to look for a false conviciton but truly i dont think anyone is looking for a false conviciton. I really dont.
The title of the thread specifies "
false confession". An eventual conviction
could become
real (hypothetically, because I seriously doubt that it will happen).
I don't see a "conspiracy" here but rather at least three individuals who, individually, could stand to gain by this and who probably have had contact with one another (not sure about communication between Tracey and JR - does anyone know?) and thus may have egged each other on in the pursuit of this Karr guy. I don't see this as a scenario of those two sitting down with the DA and saying "Let's set up some poor deluded fool, blah blah" but rather three careers for which the capture of the killer would be a positive thing: the DA would be seen as having accomplished what most said was probably impossible; the writer would make a mint and as for JR - he went from a highly successful career to becoming a sort of "untouchable" because of the scandal. There is NO doubt that the capture of JBR's killer, no matter what JR's involvement was, would be good for JR.
We need not be thinking of an orchestrated and voiced "conspiracy" but rather individuals who would do everything they could by way of their words and decisions to agree with the pursuit of the Karr investigation, trigger it, support it.

A word to the posters who said that "little girls would profit" or JonBenet: until there is
proof (beyond the usual media rumours, inuendo and general misinformation) regarding Karr's past that he was and is a menace to children, is a pedophile etc. I am reserving judgment. I am waiting for the dust to settle on that one since I feel I know nothing
for sure thus far about this guy's past. I mean we heard from the media that he was picked up on sex-related issues - then we found out no, that was incorrect. Then we heard that he confessed to sexually assaulting JBR, then THAT was corrected and found to be fabrication. So, frankly, at this stage of the game I personally feel that I know nothing about this guy's sexuality. I know that there has been information about kiddie *advertiser censored* but thus far I am not confident that we have all the facts yet. JonBenet will profit from having the REAL killers identified and brought to justice. I doubt that the latter will happen but I am still hoping that identification will be possible.
Just watching a rerun of the Ramseys on LKL. I'm struck by Patsy's focus on what her friends did - hold her up etc. It links up to the other thread about the friends coming over.
