“You do realize the Boulder DA wrote a multipage letter of apology to the Ramseys right?”

You do realize the Ramseys were indicted by a grand jury for murder?
They weren’t indicted. The GJ voted for indictment but the DA didn’t sign the indictment — hence, it didn’t happen. The DA does have that discretion, even if you think it was misused.
Burke could not have been held criminally responsible as he was only 9 at the time. There would have been no reason to cover up the event and risk a criminal charge of doing just that. Plus, the manner of death doesn’t really suggest he killed her. She was hit AND strangled — had he just hit her, they would have taken her to the hospital immediately. Its exceedingly difficult to kill someone, move their body, and not leave a trail of evidence that even a rookie criminalist couldn’t see.
