What restitution for the Ramseys?

[Holdontoyourhat]

Suppose its determined an intruder did it. What restitution would then be due to the Ramseys? How to make amends for remarks/actions etc? What would JBR think?

One would hope that the Ramsey's would not want restitution,and would be able to forgive the media/remarks/actions etc.,as quickly as they were able to forgive JonBenets'killer.

 

[Toltec]

Yes....just putting the killer away is restitution enough.

 

[Seeker]

Wonder why someone would think the Ramsey's would want restitution. They are supposedly such good christians they would just forgive and forget and continue to "get on with" their lives.

I don't think I'll have to worry about any "intruder" ever being caught and convicted of the crime though.

HOTYH,

In my favorite BDI theory a person who many might consider an intruder DID do it. He is a non-Ramsey known by name to all of us.

There's a strong likelihood that a fifth person was in the house that night (missing crime scene evidence, mystery male DNA, etc.), but he was in the house at the invitation of a Ramsey, and therefore that Ramsey who let him in was an accomplice to the murder.

That's the only scenario that could finger a non-Ramsey as the actual killer but also explain why the Ramseys are covering up by lying and refusing to cooperate with the investigation.

I don't see why the Ramseys shouldn't get something if it is proven that it is someone outside the family that did it...I am not sure but I was under the impression that they have a had time finding work since JB's death? Also, their reputations have been destroyed. If it turns out that they didn't do it, then I think that they deserve something, but I am also believe RDI, so I don't see that happening.

What about the people who spend years in jail,and then found innocent. No restitution there.

That's right Capps.
Quite a few years ago now, here in Australia a lady by the name of Linda Chamberlin was jailed for supposedly killing her 9 month old baby whilst camping in the outback.
Her and husband were christians and he was a Pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. They had no reason to have killed their baby and claimed a dingo took her from the tent, which is exactly what happened ,but wasnt proven until that poor lady had served quite a few years of a jail term.
She was hounded relentlessly by the press in the earlier days and labelled a child killer.
At the end of the day she lost years of her life when she was in fact innocent.

Narlacat,

I remember that! It was quite a while back,I believe a tv movie was made about it. Poor parents.

 

[narlacat]

Yeah....they ended up splitting up, she got remarried I think.
It was a tele movie, Meryl Streep played Lindy. Gosh I said her name was Linda in my last post, memory's not what it used to be!

 

[Brefie]

Wasn't that film called 'A Cry in The Dark'?

If I am not mistaken that crime was also referenced in Seinfeld.

(Hi all - VERY long time no see!!)

 

[narlacat]

Hi Brefie
Im not sure of the name of the movie, I never actually saw it.
Must have missed that on Seinfeld, though I thought I had seen every episode of that.

"...he was in the house at the invitation of a Ramsey,..."

This isn't really a scenario at all. Its a fictional creation. IMO for it to be a plausible scenario, it has to:

1. include a timeline or sequence for all undisputed events.
2. describe, with a basis in fact, how the perp(s) had the physical and mental capability to perform undisputed acts.
3. explain, with a basis in fact, the reasons the perp(s) performed undisputed acts.
