Excellent.
You're claim is that the R's lied about Burke being asleep during the 911 call. JR states in DOI that he awoke Burke after police and friends arrived. BR confirms that in separate interview, where he stated he was awake pretending to be asleep, but still in his room (PMPT pb pg 686).
I refer you to a 2001 interview.
Neither JR or BR ever admitted to BR speaking in the background in the 911 call.
Exactly!
The only evidence to support the claim that the R's lied during the 911 call comes from a company that conducted an analysis of the 911 audio.
The Aerospace Corporation in California.
The secret service conducted an analysis and couldn't find anything.
Holdon, everyone knows private technology firms ALWAYS have superior technology to what the tax-funded gov't has.
As for myself, I couldn't hear "what did you find" in either the 911 recording or the enhanced recording.
Where did you hear this? Far as I know, the enhanced version has never been made public. The only public recording has been from a third- or fourth-generation copy. Lawrence Schiller remarked on that in 2003:
SCHILLER: The tapes that NBC saw and the tapes that other people recently saw are not first generation or original tapes. Theyre third and fourth generation tapes and thats where the difference is.
Michael Kane then followed up:
KANE: ... I can tell you, I listened to that tape, and there are peoples voices after Patsy Ramsey says hurry, hurry, hurry.
I would have to hear it to believe it, since we're talking simple audible words and not microscopic DNA or anything.
Well, I'm pretty sure that won't happen for a while, Holdon.
It was never officially proven or shown that the R's lied during the 911 call.
Oh?
Were you saying it had been proven to be a lie?
Yup.
Because it hadn't really. Not even in PMPT were the R's shown as liars on this.
Didn't you read the transcript in the book?
I probably would not lower their credibility based on this, in a sense that if they lie about one thing then they're lying about all things, because its not a proven lie.
Isn't it, now?
I'm missing something here. The idea that the R's lied is being used to lower their credibility, but I couldn't find that they were ever caught in a lie.
Perhaps you weren't looking hard enough.
Was there some other thing besides 'Burke in the background' that is really a proven lie, known to be a lie?
YUP. Tell you what, Holdon, I'm going to give you and everyone else here a little tidbit from the book. Then you can make up your own minds:
Another wrinkle is in JonBenet's hands, literally. On the palm of one hand was drawn a heart in red ink. In 1998, "Trip" DeMuth asked Patsy about it. She said that it was very well-drawn. Since she was known to draw hearts around loved ones in photos, he asked where it might have come from. Patsy said that JonBenet had a habit of drawing on herself, and that Patsy tried to discourage her from doing that because of pageants. She claimed that drawing hearts on hands was something JonBenet and Daphne White liked to do with each other.
The next day, Patsy was asked about it again. This time, she gave a much different answer, saying that she hadn't actually seen the heart, and couldn't say for sure whether or not she'd just read about it or heard about it. Didn't prevent her going into detail the first time.
Now, let's be specific here. The following are the actual words from the two interview days.
Day One:
DEMUTH: How do you know there was a heart on her hand?
PATSY: Because it was on there in the morning, that's why.
DEMUTH: You remember it from the next morning?
PATSY: Yes.
DEMUTH: What was your reaction?
PATSY: That was a pretty good little heart--well drawn.
Day Two:
PATSY: I am having trouble distinguishing whether I read about that or whether I actually saw that.
Mm-hmm.
I showed you the pinapple one before.
Lastly (just off the top of my head), we have Patsy's explanation for her fibers. Now, keep in mind she couldn't explain them when she was asked in 2000, when it really would have mattered. It took two full years to come up with an explanation, and even then to a news reporter. Her explanation was that when JB was brought up from the basement she lay across the body. "I had my whole body on her body."
Well, there's just one little problem with that: according to DOI (the R book), John said that he had already covered JB with a blanket (different from the one in the basement) before Patsy ever came into the room. This is borne out by the police reports. OOPS.
Remember, you asked for it.
