Once JonBenet was found dead the worst had already happened.  Cooperating with the police at that point wasn't going to bring their daughter back and if they were under a veil of suspicion themselves then cooperating could easily have been to their detriment.

At that point their main focus was on protecting themselves, each other and Burke.  I think that's understandable.  But going on news shows was weird. [b]It was like a PR move - wanting to look good in the public eye.

BINGO.  As if they were guilty and trying to deflect.  [/quote]

I don't see why people think the Ramsey's actions were so suspicious after the murder. They did cooperate with police at first and then when realizing they were suspects, hired a criminal defense attorney, at the advice of their attorney friend, Bynum. Anyone, innocent or guilty, accused of a crime [i]should [/i]hire an attorney right away. Look at the Steven Avery case or West Memphis Three case to see what can happen when you don't. Here's the timeline for the Ramsey's shortly after the murder-

12-28-96 Ramseys Provided Forensic Samples. Ramsey family goes to Boulder police station to answer questions and give samples of hair, blood and handwriting. These include John Ramsey, John Andrew Ramsey and Burke Ramsey; "'Patsy' Ramsey was too distraught to submit to the evidence collection, authorities said" 
12-28-96 Ramseys Hired Criminal Attorneys. "Shortly after noon that Saturday, without consulting John or Patsy, Bynum told Detective Arndt that the Ramseys would not give any more testimonial evidence without a criminal attorney present, and they would no longer share privileged information with the police. Since he was no longer a criminal attorney, Bynum called Bryan Morgan of Haddon, Morgan and Foreman in Denver, one of Colorado's top firms. By Saturday evening the Ramseys had retained Morgan." 
1-1-97 Ramseys CNN Appearance. Ramseys appear on CNN, confirming that John and Patsy each have hired an attorney and that John also hired a private investigator

I do not think the CNN appearance was a PR move in order to look good. I think these were distraught people who had buried their daughter the day before, the media was hounding them like crazy, the whole nation was wondering who these people were and what they had to say for themselves, and so they went on TV to try and clear things up. All of this is understandable. I think the Boulder Police, the media and the public were ready to convict these people before they ever had a chance of getting the facts out.

I think a lot of poster see themselves in Patsy -white women with money and children, not the type ( in their minds) that would kill her child that' something other people do.[/b]

You don't think that Patsy not submitting samples (when the other Ramseys did); and the Ramseys each hiring their own lawyer looks odd?   :shock: [/quote][/quote]

Ummm. No. I think most people on here think Patsy did it. I am one of the few that doesn't. [/quote]

I don't think most people here think Patsy did it.  I just think the few who do are very vocal.  ;)

Then it's hard to say. We'd have to take a poll, I suppose. But if you're looking at the court of public opinion, I would say most people think someone in the Ramsey family did it. The intruder theory is not a popular one. I believe it's what really happened though but most people have already made up their minds. [/quote]

It's one of those things where it strikes me as an inside job - meaning someone in the family killed JonBenet.  None of them seem like the "type" to do something like this (they aren't mean/abusive people) but the intruder theory just does not seem at all plausible.  So of the 3 family members, Patsy seems to be the one who would have had the most hands on physical contact with JonBenet.  Getting her ready for bed, helping her with a potty accident, giving her bath, etc.  And there is the writing on the ransom note that really does look a lot like Patsy's left handed writing sample - I am actually shocked that anyone would deny the resemblance between her sample and the actual ransom letter.

It doesn't make sense that Patsy would have killed JonBenet.  She loved her daughter very much.  I think it was a tragic accident - didn't know her own strength sort of scenario.

I didn't see the Dateline Special but did watch the A & E one earlier in the week. I also saw the special on Investigator Smit's interview. For years I thought there is no way an intruder did this. It had to be the family. But I now believe it is very possible and was most likely an intruder. The pictures of JB's body show she was strangled then blungeoned. This doesn't fall in line with the family theory. That is just one of the many bits of evidence pointing to an intruder.[/quote]

I got the impression that they were trying to make the intruder theory fit.  The claw marks on JonBenet's neck for instance - they were saying that those marks indicate that JonBenet was alive and struggling as she was being strangled.  But - as far as I am aware those marks on her neck were not described as defense wounds at all and where was the skin under her fingernails?

I think the marks were just from the garrot used to strangle her - the rope marks were slipping up/down her neck and not stationary in one spot.  She was strangled after the blow to her head.

The A&E panel of experts were looking at pictures of the wounds and coming up with different theories based on their interpretation of the pictures.  But you would think that there would be some sign of a struggle on that child somewhere beyond those scratches on her neck.  She would have been fighting the intruder and no one heard a thing.
