There are people who despite the evidence will ALWAYS believe the Ramseys did it because of the following reasons:

1) They are rich,

2) The daughter was a kiddie beauty padget contestant,

3) The mother was less than media savvy.

"2) The daughter was a kiddie beauty padget contestant"

Yes, that is horrible to do that to a young child. Parading her around in full-blown adult make-up in public is off-the-wall odd. If a young woman (over 18) wants to do that, fine. It's her conscious decision. But to dress up your 4 or 5 or 6 year old daughter like that is just not fair to her, IMO. Jon Benet had no choice. She can't consent. She was barely 6 when she died.

1) They are rich,

That has nothing to do with it

2) The daughter was a kiddie beauty padget contestant,

That certainly could be a factor.What they were doing to that kid was beyond abnormal.As was suggested in an earlier post,photos of this girl dressed up like a cowgirl hooker were very probably very popular among members of the little girl equivalent of NAMBLA.

3) The mother was less than media savvy.

If the parents...both of them...had *tried* to appear guilty,they couldn't have done a better job than what they actually did in the days,weeks,months after the murder.

*Everyone* knows that when a child (or a woman) is murdered the first people the cops visit are the relatives...particularly the *male* relatives.If she was my daughter,I would have told the cops "fine,I understand what you're doing.I'm going to cooperate with your office 100%.You'll have complete,unlimited access to my house *whenever* you want it.You have my permission to remove *anything* from my house that you wish for tests and examination.You'll have unlimited access to *me* whenever you want.I'll answer *every single* question you might put to me.I'll take as many polygraph tests you want.I'll give you any kind of biological sample you want.In so doing,you'll obviously be able to quickly rule me out as a suspect and,thus,will be able to get on with the task of finding the actual killer(s)."

Neither of the Ramseys took a position that even remotely resembles the one that I would have taken.

I had to gag while listening to NG on XM last night. NG was not in-don't know who the sub was. She and her guest made several points:

One reason so many people thought Patsy was guilty was because she did not "act" right.

Perdogg: you can appreciate the following because you follow the lax case. (Warning: sit down.) The one lesson to be learned is to always cooperate with LE, tell them what they want to know. If you are honest and sincere, sooner or later the veil of suspicion will lift.

The hypocrisy of these people kills me.

Karr may or may not be the perp. If he is the perp and he murdered JonBenet, John Ramsey showed grace and class last night. Something he and Patsy never had.

2) The daughter was a kiddie beauty padget contestant,

I wonder how many people who have crucified Patsy for this are those obnoxious Little League or Cheerleading parents?

You know...I keep wondering why some are so determined the Ramsey's are guilty. Now, I understand.
