I see.
Let's just grab onto a "particular" that strikes us as strange or "off" somehow, as long as it hurts Patsy and NOW, since I brought up JR to show how suspicion shifted from him, as original perp/JonBenet molesting dad, to Patsy and/or Burke/Patsy, and let's presume the worst against, and hurt, BOTH parents.
I guess some people have ALWAYS done that, though.
I saw JR in tv interview footage in which both he and Lou Smit are absolutely adamant that a stun gun was used. He was so animated about it - and he doesn't seem like the easily animated type - so earnest, so convinced, that pursuing the stun gun angle would help official investigators find the perp.
Also in the same program, they said stun gun manufacturers didn't share the conclusions of Lou Smit and JR that the marks on her were from a stun gun.
There's no way I can know if that was a fair conclusion to draw. They didn't say how many stun gun manufacturers or experts said this, nor did they show any interviewed.
I concluded that Smit and JR are extremely frustrated because they are so convinced, and they want so badly to find JonBenet's killer.
Therefore, I will not pin guilt on JR for going into detail about it.
I remember Natalee Holloway's father, Dave, getting involved in the horrendous search of waters off of Aruba and a disgusting, sickening landfill there, just for a hint of a piece of his missing daughter.
Is HE guilty in Natalee's disappearance (death)??
I'm sorry, I've about had it with this. I can't stop it, I know; all I can do is stand up in protest to the extent that I can.
I say the latter because I am limited in time, as well as physical and emotional energy for it.
Yes, I do think some of their behavior was odd, just like some of JMK's behavior was odd. It's just an observation and you're right, it could mean nothing at all.
It seems from your posts that you simply can't or don't want to imagine the *possibility* that the parents could be involved in a horrendous crime like this. That's understandable and I won't criticize that. What many people (and many here, I think) find when they discuss a horrific crime like this is that discussing the evidence requires entertaining all *possibilities*. That's all we're doing here. To conclude that this consititutes indicting or "pinning" it on any particular person doesn't follow from the premise.
I'll be the first to acknowledge that we don't know who committed this crime and it may well have been JMK or some other intruder. But to ignore any and all evidence implicating the parents would amount to doing the very thing you lament.
What I don't get is why people take it as evidence of Patsy's guilt that she can not explain every little detail about the placement of evidence after the crime. It makes sense that if things were moved around while she was asleep she'd have no answer....duh!
