[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like Burke accidentally whacking JB too hard is most likely scenario, but what trips me up here is the staging of the body afterward.  I can maybe see the parent(s) applying the duct tape and wrist ties... but not the business with the garotte and the paintbrush, nor can I see a little kid Burke's age coming up with that.  I just can't picture loving parents doing that to their child even as part of staging a crime scene.[/quote]
This is why I think Burke had nothing to do with it this time. You should listen to the Normal Family podcast. It’s eye opening.[/quote]

In contrast though, someone on Reddit gave a very detailed description of how childlike the entire crime was, and it actually really put me in the Burke camp , with my only hesitation being that he has never had any issues with crime since it happened (but , if it was an accident that was covered up sloppily by Burke and then his parent, I could see him not committing any purposeful crimes later in life).

I watched a documentary a few years ago, I forget the title/what channel, but they gave evidence that the likelihood of a 9 year old being able to whack someone with the amount of force that JB was whacked with would be very unlikely; the likelihood the a 9 year old would do it *accidentally* is pretty much nil.

Really? I find this surprising, given that I have no other credentials than watching 9YO's play Little League. I mean, I'm being tongue in cheek, but they can swing really hard when doing so intentionally.

Agree that hitting that hard as an accident seems very unlikely.

I don't buy that Burke did it and if so, it definitely wasn't intentional.

This!! My 9 year old son plays travel baseball and, one of those kids could absolutely crack my skull with the right instrument. And I thought I read that the blow incapacitated her but the garotte is what actually killed her in the end. [/quote]
