I feel so sorry for Fleet and Pricsilla White (and their family). From the moment the phone rang at their house with the desperate request for them to come help- to the moment John Ramsey found JonBenets murdered, stiff, corpse in the basement they must have felt like they had entered the twighlight zone. Fast forward to the moment they began to hear/read information from their friends that they knew were lies, the dawning reality must have been almost unbearable.
Fast forward to the accusations by their friends to the scenario with Nancy Krebbs and it must have been surreal. What they continue to experience you almost believe couldn't/wouldn't occurr in the good old USA in the year of our lord, 2014.
I can only surmise the fact they continue to move forward in the face of the most bizzare adversity is because they know they are innocent and have a pretty sound idea of (as close to the truth of) what happened that night in December 1996, as anyone ever could, without personally witnessing the events that unfolded that hideous and fateful night at the Ramsey's.
I hope they see some justice in their lifetime- or at least some undoing of the attrocities that have been done to them.
It is unbelieveable to me what they have endured.
Well, ITA.
Watched the video which OTG posted, so that I could hear the brief presentation from both the Ws. They, of course, know that when they asked the governor to appoint another prosecutor, it really got underneath AHs skin.
Leaving aside (for now) the actions on the part of JR and PR to implicate the Ws in the crime, one also has to review the actions on the part of AH. It is so obvious that AH was not going to pursue this one, no way, no how. In a video he uses the OJ Simpson trial as an analogy: AH says about OJ, that the DA was pushed by the public into prosecuting too soon and thats why the OJ case was lost. Twice AH says that JB would not want him to proceed too soon. (Turns my stomach that he invokes the name of JB telling him not to proceed.)
Just a cursory look at some of AHs actions show the kind of person he was: AH leaked materials to Schiller, he gave the defense attorneys pretty much everything they wanted, he told reporter Schapiro to see if he could dig up dirt on Commander Eller (thats on recorded tape, btw), and finally, he was the one to give the newspaper the NK story, even though he knew she was looney-tunes. All that said, it is not a surprise that the City would fight to keep AHs misdeeds hidden. If the full scope of DA corruption were revealed, could the many people who plea-bargained, the few prosecuted, during AHs tenure sue the City to have their cases overturned, records expunged on the basis of DA corruption? Its a concern anyway. No one in the City wants that outcome. moo
Unfortunately, FW and PW are probably swimming upstream with the attempt to have the knowledge about the investigation into NK provided. Yet, in so many ways, I respect their efforts to break the bottleneck in this case and continue to hope for an outcome which brings out more truth in the JB case and which provides the Ws some measure of peace, clearing their name once and for all. All MHO
