Yeah all of these arm chair generals and jurors. Makes you wonder. God help anyone who is accused of something in this day and age. They are hung before they even get the cuffs off - in public opinion at least. Scary.
The police in Boulder were really inexperienced in missing children and homicide investigations, and so it wasn't just the media that fed the hysteria.
I remember that the father was also a suspect in the Elizabeth Smart disappearance, and then vindicated when she was recovered from the slimey mental case that took her.
And also there is Steven Hatfill, that the FBI suspected in the anthrax letters. He has yet to be vindicated, but I believe one day he will be. OTOH, I could be wrong.
I was wrong about Patsy Ramsey. I never posted but I did suspect she was covering up for someone.
I'm glad that she knew before she died that this fellow was going to be arrested. Anybody else hear the news that this suspect had sent Patsy Ramsey emails with lurid details of what he had done with her daughter?
If that is the "confession" -- the emails -- then there is no Miranda problem with it. The "confession" would be voluntary. All he would have had to do was "confess" that he had sent the emails.
