CBS seeks dismissal of $750M defamation suit brought by Burke Ramsey
03/09/2017
"A lawyer for defendants in a
$750 million defamation lawsuit filed by Burke Ramsey, the brother of murder victim JonBenet Ramsey, filed a response Thursday asking that his action be dismissed outright.
Burke Ramsey on Dec. 28 sued CBS for its production "The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey," a four-hour "docu-series," as the network described it, that was produced for CBS by Los Angeles-based Critical Content.
The series offered a theory that JonBenet, discovered murdered in the basement of her family's home in Boulder the afternoon of Dec. 26, 1996, might have been killed by Burke, who was then 9.
Plaintiff's rambling, 108-page, 726-paragraph complaint comes down to this: he alleges that Defendants accused him of kill(ing) his sister, JonBenet Ramsey," the new motion states.
That statement was never made in the series. To the contrary, the only even arguably similar observation contained in the entire series is one made by investigator James Kolar" that Burke Ramsey, out of anger, "may have struck" JonBenet with a flashlight, the filing states.
And the first page of the filing features a screen grab of a disclaimer that appeared at the conclusion of each segments of the series. It stated, in part, "The opinions and conclusions of the investigators who appear on this program about how it may have occurred represent just some of a number of possible scenarios."
