Jann Scott's new column, 9/1/03

[Imon128]

John and Patsy must not have considered JB's room a crime scene as they didn't even enter her room upon finding the note. They just 'looked' in. They didn't go in to check her bathroom, look at the balcony door, windows, etc. You'd think they would have been in such denial that JB was gone that they would have gone to extensive lengths to convince themselves it WAS real. Instead, they looked at her bed, she wasn't in it, so they immediately ascertained that the note was real. Hmmm.

"Instead, they looked at her bed, she wasn't in it, so they immediately ascertained that the note was real. Hmmm. "

Yuppers, Imon, they immediately believed the note was real but
not the content of the note.?!?

"Yuppers, Imon, they immediately believed the note was real but
not the content of the note.?!?"

When you write your own note, you KNOW it's real and when you write your own note, you KNOW the contents are NOT.

Those Ram$$eys, they are indeed smart people.

CATV 54 launches new an d first ever Daily Morning Talk Show: 10:30 weekdays

COUNTDOWN host Jann Scott.....full title is "CATV Count Down to Contract "begins Wednesday September 3rd at 10:30 am Weekdays Monday - Friday on Boulder Public Access channel 54 starting with day 120 until either a new contract begins between CATV and the city of Boulder or Public Access 54 goes black.

"The idea came to me from abc's NIGHTLINE which started back when Iranian radicals stormed the embassy in Tehran and took Americans hostage. Nightline had a daily count and so will we. Starting with day 120 that the City of Boulder hijacked Public Access and freedom of speech . I am essentially a hostage and a political prisoner by a city government who does not honor contracts. The only way I know how to fight is with Free speech on TV while we still have it.

This show is fully supported by CATV staff...............and will cover every nuance of public access television. It will include guests from every none profit CATV 54 PUBLIC ACCESS ever hosted(100's), producers of local television shows, free speech advocates, legal experts, Cable company experts and sympathetic City council members....plus live callers. It will also, have guest hosts..........This show is about CATV......it's not about me.

Countdown is essentially a grid or stripped in morning talk show in TV guide terms. It will go up against women talk shows including Opra weekday mornings............The show will repeat in early evenings plus overnight.

...people will be able to call in at 303- 440-1000

So did French see the broken window in the basement or not? Did he see the suitcase under the window?

French was looking for entrance/exit - he negligently didn't open the wine cellar door BUT "what's the story" with the broken window.

 

[candy]

All of that is in Officer French's First Responder report and will only come out at trial or if he gives an indepth interview, which is unlikely as he is an active duty police officer.

 

[Sabrina]

Hey, everyone who has been knocking French's grammar. Did you ever consider that Jann Scott could have made a typo?

Jann Scott error???? Naaaaa, not possible! - Can you say "enhanced 911 tape"?

DUH!
(I've already consumed my last grain of salt, so unfortunately I can't take Jann Scott with it...)

Toth, it's interesting that YOU, a member of the RST, would consider French "incompetent".
Most of US might consider him incompetent because he allowed the Scamseys to pull the wool over his eyes that morning. He also allowed them to polute the crime scene by throwing a "Where's Waldo?" party in the house with all their friends.

When exactly, in America, did we decide to allow peole to come in and out with free will into a crime scene? Why, then do we blame the people doing the calling? The police should have stopped that leak in the R'd ship--PERIOD! If I thought my child kidnapped, yes, I would probably call my friends--that doesn't mean the police should just allow them in.

The police are supposed to know better than us citizens.

 

[Maxi]

For some peculiar reason, the police did not consider the whole house to be a crime scene until the body had been found. JonBenet's room was, tho. The BPD clearly were at fault.

What? - Another rocket scientist who doesn't understand the phrase "call anyone and we'll cut your child's head off"...sheeesh.

Thank God the almighty intruder is only a fantasy, or we wouldn't know what to do with all those little kid's heads rolling around!
(And you thought Canadian Geese were a problem!)

I have never claimed to be a rocket scientist, thanks, though.

I am sorry that I have close friends, maybe that is my fault. But, yes, I would call them. Just like I said above, that doesn't mean that my local police department would allow those people to enter my home. (I have more faith in my small town police department, thank youvery much) Some think it is wrong that they called the police, too. (That is just absurd)

They would not be the first to be called, and it probably would be on my cell phone and not my home phone, as to not tie up the line.

If YOU take the note so seriously, then you should be believing that the R's are innocent and that a small foreign group is to blame.

 

[Barbara]

While it is clearly the BPD's fault that the crime scene was allowed to be trampled, the Ramseys own some responsibility in that they claim to be intelligent people who should know better.

Some people might call A friend, or A family member, but I can't imagine the average person calling over a community of people, most of whom were not considered "close" friends by the Ramseys own words.

Yes, the BPD messed up big time that day, but that doesn't take the suspicion away from the Ramsey behavior.

 

[ajt400]

That's true, I wouldn't call all my friends. But I know I would call a few.

Before you even get to your friends, you first have to tell us why you would be so stupid to hang up on the 911 operator. What would be the point of doing that? When people call 911, they stay on the line and wait for instructions, unless there is some other pressing matter (like someone needing medical attention or protection from impending danger).

So why did Patsy hang up? Was it to look for JonBenet?--NO. Was it to check her other child and make sure he was safe?--NO.
She hung up on the 911 operator so she could call her friends over. This makes sense to you? Why would Patsy feel having her friends over was much more important than any instructions the 911 operator would give her?

It only makes sense if for some reason you are scared to death to be alone in the house with the police.

Yes, but how did they know the BPD would be so 'open' with a crime scene? How did they know that they would actually let the police in.

Secondly, where in my posts above does it state that I would hang up on the operator? (Your good at putting words in others mouths, huh? That happens alot in this case) Unless I was specified otherwise, or the police had not shown up yet, I would stay on the line.

I am not going to presume (which there is also alot of in this case) that I would hang up or not, maybe it was an accident? You know, everything doesn't have to be sinister. In other words, anyone can find something sinister if they look hard enough. Maybe she thought she had gotten all of the information, maybe not.

Why would you call the cops if you were scared to be alone with them in the first place? That makes no sense, they could not have anticipated that the police would be so inept at their jobs. Why not just call your friends over, wait awhile, then discover the body. Claiming the note said not to call authorities? This was elaborate as hell anyway, why not spice it up some more?

I take it that Shylock is referring to Patsy when using the word "you".

My opinion was that Patsy hung up to keep Burke from being heard.

 

[ajt400]

In my english classes, 'you' was a term used when speaking directly to someone. So, no, I take the 'you' in her post to mean me.

You may be right. We can now be 99.9999% sure Burke is on the 911 tape since we can hear Patsy's "help me jesus" cries, just as the Thomas transcript described it. And then there is the 4-second erased gap right after Patsy where you can bet your life savings Burke and John are heard.
