IMO, I don't see anything wild about reviewing BRs school or medical records. Everyone is a suspect until they are eliminated. There is nothing in my child's records that I would need to suppress. If those records showed nothing to note, I'd be holding them up on a poster board to clear my child's name. Why did the Ramsey's always do the opposite of that that would have been helpful and in the best interest of the case?
I certainly wouldn't feel that way in the scenerio you describe if my child was seated next to a child who killed some one no matter who the child was.
Burke was never a suspect. If you read early analysis of this case, no one believed he was responsible. Kolar and the CBS show pointed to him many years later. No one leaning BDI would clear him anyway. They could see nothing at all or some behavioral concerns or any other records and people would justify he still may have done it.
Excellent point. They did always do exactly the opposite of what would have been in the best interest of the case. They were in no way transparent about anything, they instead chose to hide as much as possible. They made themselves look guilty as he**.
Schools transfer records to other schools and behavioral specialists make recommendations about necessary alternative school settings. That’s a very different scenario than releasing all psychological and school records to the public, media and documentarians so we can hyper-analyze them.
With all the back door deals that were being made by Team Ramsey, they certainly could've released records to LE with strict terms, only to be seen by certain LE personnel. I don't think anyone is advocating that personal records should be made available to the public.
With so many things being leaked at various times, I don’t have any confidence that we wouldn’t be able read Burke’s records right now if the Ramseys had allowed it at the time. It’s a huge violation of his privacy, which he deserves to have protected.
Maybe LE not looking at Burke, was one of the early police mistakes we hear so much about.
My point is
They should have been available to the police. No one is above the law in an investigation. If there was a chance he was responsible, it needed to be vetted for many reasons including the safety of others.
Again, if strict stipulations were in place an agreement could've been made. For the record, I am not BDI either.
Indeed, and ‘we’ likely lack the required expertise and context with which to properly do so.
No one is advocating records be release to the public, but to those investigating the case who then can have the appropriate experts analyze them as needed.
Your opinion IMO would not stand up in a court of law on this issue.
The point is, in cases like this when you want to find the "real" perpetrator, most people understand that in order to do so you have to be cleared first. The police have said it, the FBI have said it......an investigation of murder, especially when it happens in the home with other family members present, always starts with the small circle of the family and then works its way outward. If that small circle is never allowed to be fully investigated and cleared, the circle is hindered in its ability to widen.
I think Dr. McCann's testimony on the stand in a courtroom would be extremely compelling and very difficult to dispute. His extensive research on the subject is still considered to be of such relevance as to be the basis for criteria for identifying SA in children in the entire state of California which uses reporting forms developed with his assistance and based on his research.
RSBBMFF:
If anything, perhaps he continues to be under such scrutiny because none of the rumors have been effectively dispelled by facts. Again, the lack of transparency (and again, I am not referring to making records available to the press or the public) is such a significant factor in this case.
