If this person is proven to be the killer of Jon Benet, what will the police and the press have to say to the Ramsey's? If ever parents were crucified by Denver police investigators and by the press, it was the Ramseys! Now what? Will all those who went to the media to proclaim the parents guilty step forward to admit their mistakes and to apologize to all of us for their stupidity? Somehow, I doubt it.
I have said for a long time I didn't believe the parents killed Jon Benet. The usual "blame the parents" crowd spent the last decade demonizing the parents and insisting Patsy Ramsey was a psycho who flew into violent rages when her daughter wet the bed and John Ramsey was a "pedophile" and molester, all of this being hyped without ONE shread of evidence pointing to the Ramsey's. The knee-jerk hysteria was amazing, even on FR people were still cursing Patsy Ramsey the day she died.
Can you imagine how John Ramsey must feel when his youngest daughter was brutally killed and instead of a public outcry of support, everyone turned against him and berated him as a murderer and molester without any evidence. It's the precise opposite of the OJ case, you have everyone convinced he's gulity when a mountain of evidence including the DNA samples, fingerprints, handwriting sample, lie-detector test, etc. did NOT match and did NOT point to anyone in the family.
It's a amazing John Ramsey wasn't suicidal in these circumstances.
The knee-jerks do indeed owe the family a heartfelt apology if this guy is proven the killer, though I doubt they will ever get it.
Even people are STILL quick to make assumpitions, throwing about the "pedophile" word with a suspect in custody in Thailand, again, without knowing any of the evidence. Most criminal profiles will tell you the vast majority of child killers and sadistic tortures are NOT pedophiles.
To the knee-jerks who went on a witch hunt against the Ramsey family, you ought to be ashamed. Next time, try finding actual EVIDENCE before you brand someone a sadist killer and a rapist.
"If ever parents were crucified by Denver police investigators and by the press, it was the Ramseys!"
No they weren't. It was only after a few days questioning by the Boulder police that the Ramsey's lawyered up making it a real hassle for the police to even talk with them. They acted guilty and they turned things against themselves at least here in the Denver area. When pictures of Jon Benet dressed up for beauty contest were showed I thought what parent in their right mind would ever allow that? Mrs. Ramsey seemed a little whacko for pushing that on her daughter. I can't remember all the details but it didn't take me long to think the Ramsey's had done it.
IF he is proven to be the killer.........then you are dead-on right, my friend. Dead-ON right.
