JonBenet Ramsey D.A.: More Work Needed

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - The district attorney in the JonBenet Ramsey slaying says there is "much more work" to be done in the case against the suspect and she is warning the public not to "jump to conclusions."

[Mr. Brightside]

Sounds like a backtrack to me.

[camle]

i don't think the guy did it. i think he's looking for the noteriety.

[AZRepublican]

Yeah, just heard his ex says he was with her in Alabama and he has done a lot of research on the case. Sounds like he is a fruitcake and not a killer.

[Cobra64]

Here we go again. Another six months of this soap opera.

[Flashlight]

Not exactly a backtrack. They had to arrest him, but it looks like there's no evidence here.

[Lx]

Best roll out the Jump to Conclusions mat.

[Mike Darancette]

The guy got a free ride home courtesy of the Boulder, CO DA.

My thoughts:

The guy got busted in Thailand on some sex crime. He did not want to spend the rest of his life in some Thai prison so he copped to this. I'm not saying he didn't do it but I think he chose prison in the U.S. over prison in Thailand.

[Peach]

Definite backtrack. Sounds like someone who has mental problems and is looking for his 15 minutes of fame to me.

If they don't link the DNA to him, the DA is going to have a hard time convicting him.

[al baby]

sounds like Greta still has a job for a while

[Military family member]

I am listening to the press conference right now.

The DA said that the man has the presumption of innocence and that she cannot discuss anything details in the case as per law.

[Flashlight]

He did not want to spend the rest of his life in some Thai prison so he copped to this.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Lurking in Kansas]

This case is falling apart like a cheap suit. This soap opera will be over in about 6 days.

This guy is a creep & a loon, but not the killer.

[Gay State Conservative]

This clowns a pervert *and* a flake.Having gotten a crack at this girl has been and is his greatest wet dream.He's no more involved in her death as he was involved in the Lindburg baby's death.

The guy is fruitcake for sure. To think he has had access to children is sick. But is he the murderer of Jonbonet? I like the way the DA was talking......she needs him back here to eliminate him or to convict him. Good luck to her, we all want the murderer brought to justice. She does not have an easy job. I say we give her the time to develop the case. He may just be guilty of harassing the Ramsey family and not murdering her, who knows.

This comment and what the media are reporting are garbage. I listened to the entire press conference. She made it clear that she CAN'T TALK YET ABOUT THE EVIDENCE BECAUSE OF COLORADO'S CODE. They could have 100% DNA evidence on this guy and at this stage can't talk about it.

[NinoFan]

No, not a backtrack at all. Did you even listen to the press conference?

[naturalized]

No pun intended, I hope.

Here it goes again. He was busted and in prison in Thailand because of a CALIFORNIA crime and at the request of US authorities. He is not charged with a crime in Thailand. Jeeez...
