Were their lawyers allowed to present alternative evidence to that of DA Hunter and the police? I don't know. If so that was fortunate for them because most often, so I hear, that isn't what happens in a GJ.

That's a good question. I don't know. But clearly the Ramseys were able to mount a really good defense and I think that is what frustrated the Boulder police so much.

Hey, you may already be aware of this, but a lot of this *so called* evidence that is being posted is found in Detective Thomas's Book. I have serious problems with this guy. His entire theory is based on his belief that Patsy lost it because JonBenet wet the bed. He bases this on a bed liner, pull ups hanging from the closet, and a wadded up turtle neck. The vaginal trauma indicating molestation doesn't fit into his theory, so he claims that Patsy caused it as a form of corporal punishment. The Ramsey's didn't hire a lawyer for several days after JonBenet's death. They did attempt to cooperate, but it quickly became evident that thhe police were looking at them, and only them. This detective is an example. As far as video tapes go, I would have doubts about anything the police suggest to be evidence in them. It is a known tactic of investigators to present false claims about evidence to trick a perp into changing their story. The Ramsey's never did.
