A grand jury determines pnobable cause, the prosector should have no say in whether the state can prove the case. In fact, why bring it before a grand jury if one is not inclined to be bound by their decision? Another travesty even though in this case the subject may have indeed not been guilty of murder, however, the charge was not murder, it was child abuse apparently.
Everybody knows it was a “small foreign faction”, and not that nutty mom.
The Ramsey case seems like a million years ago given all that has transpired since then.

I don’t trust Grand Juries.
Thailand?
I’d bet the clothes on my back that either one (or both) of the parents *did* it or *knew* who did it.
Ex-Housekeeper Says Patsy
Ramsey Killed JonBenet

She said she told the grand jury that Patsy had become very moody right before Christmas of 1996. “I think she had multiple personalities. She’d be in a good mood and then she’d be cranky. She got into arguments with JonBenet about wearing a dress or about a friend coming over. I had never seen Patsy so upset.
“I don’t believe Patsy meant to kill her. I truly believe it was an accident that just continued,” said Hoffmann-Pugh, who worked in the Ramsey house until three days before the slaying on Dec. 26, 1996, and testified before the grand jury in January 1999.
The Ramseys have maintained they had nothing to do with their daughter’s death.
The grand jury adjourned in October 1999 after 13 months. No indictments were issued. The grand jury, and then-District Attorney Alex Hunter, never issued a report about its investigation.
Hoffmann-Pugh, whose efforts to change grand-jury rules were supported by the Ramseys, on Thursday handed out a packet of what she said were six handwriting experts’ analyses of Patsy Ramsey’s handwriting samples.
All six said it was highly probable that Patsy wrote the ransom note, which was found in the Ramsey house about six hours before the body was found in the basement, she said. Hoffmann-Pugh said she is convinced Patsy wrote the ransom note.
The Ramseys have never produced a written handwriting report, Hoffmann-Pugh said. “I had to give handwriting samples to the police. Why didn’t she? I had to testify before the grand jury. Why didn’t she?” Hoffmann-Pugh asked rhetorically. She testified for eight hours before the grand jury.
‘But in 2008, District Attorney Mary Lacy cleared Jonbenet’s parents and brother based on updated DNA analysis.”
I fail to understand how DNA can ever clear anyone. May someone extremely less likely as a suspect but clear?

“....”We didn’t know who did what,” one juror told the newspaper. “But we felt the adults in the house may have done something that they certainly could have prevented, or they could have helped her, and they didn’t.”
I have never believed the Ramseys were guilty
