My Appeal to IDI

[BBB167893]

I'm not sure where to begin... :no:
Whatever, I'll roll with it.

That's fine.

She didn't have a choice anyway you dice it.

What makes you say that? I mean, specifically?

Regardless, I concur with OTG & his analysis of the AR.

I didn't say I disagree with it. But it doesn't change my main point. As I see it, all of these things could only have happened if she were already unconscious from being struck on the head.

McCann also spoke of bruising on JonBenet's inner thigh, consistent with a forceful separation of the legs.

That doesn't change it either. If she was fighting, as you seem to suggest, why weren't there more signs of it? Moreover, and this is where it really gets interesting, why was it done in such a clean, fumbling way? The answer is pretty obvious to me.

(The Bonita Papers, was that your source for McCann's statement?)

Sure is. What of it?

Hmmm, this doesn't sound familiar. Nope, doesn't ring a bell. It's not EXACTLY (or even kinda, sorta, remotely) the IDI majority's POV.

I was going by my personal experiences, Mama. Don't kill the messenger.

You haven't described Smit's train of thought well, either.

Well, that's sort of the problem, isn't it, Mama? HE never described it well! Not in a way that was consistent with the crime itself. As wonderllama said, I used to be one of you. Smit's inability to demonstrate his own case is a BIG reason why I'm not one now. (Apparently, the GJ agreed, but that's neither here nor there.)

I guess those extra arms account for some of Kolar's "unique", unsourced DNA profiles. :drumroll:

:floorlaugh: You have a sense of humor. That's good.

I'm really having difficulty understanding your portrayal of "the IDI majority". Your arguments do not accurately describe the majority, or even the minority, of IDIs with whom I engage in case discussion.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad!

A small rant here: When Watergate happened, when WMD justified entry into a war, when one learns that DA AH buried the GJ True Bill and placed it in a safe, don’tcha feel lied to by those whose ambitions/fears exceeded their integrity?

Damn right, questfortrue. Let's continue this elsewhere.

SuperDave,
You have such a vivid imagination. IDI can spin the sequence of events to suit the IDI theory. Not so difficult to do.

e.g. Intruder assaults JonBenet, she starts to struggle and scream, intruder whacks her on the head, then proceeds to ligature strangulation and accompanying cleanup and forensic staging.

Well, that's kind of my point, UKGuy. Once they get to that point, they might as well jump over to our side.

Wonderllama's right: I've talked to a lot of IDIs in my time, and most, if not all of them, believe the strangulation came first, against all forensic evidence. But, as I've tried to show, that's extremely difficult to believe.

In the AR, section Vaginal Mucosa all but spells out that JonBenet had been assaulted with the paintbrush handle.

True, but it was HOW the "assault" was done that screams out at me!

Anyone care to comment on the Coroner's ending sentence: Acute inflammatory infiltrate was not seen?

I will, if that's all right: she was dead before infiltrate (white blood cells) had time to arrive at the site.

Without hearing Coroner Meyers explicit interpretation of his Cause Of Death, it is possible that what he thinks killed JonBenet and what many RDI and IDI think killed JonBenet might be two different things?

Well, unless his GJ testimony is released, we may never know.

What do you think happened first the paintbrush injury or JonBenet being dressed in the size-12's?

Dressing started, paintbrush injury, dressing finished.
