Damn Fox News!

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Wed Jul 09, 2008 2:55 pm

A teaser for the local 5 PM news said: "A break in the Jon Benet Ramsey case. What new DNA evidence says about their parents."

The new DNA tests completely clear the family, just as the previous ones did. That's not a "break".

It says it eliminates them as suspects and the police are sorry if they caused the family any stress. Any stress? Poor Patsy died at age 49.....can't help but think stress lowers your resistance when you have a serious illness like hers.

Scientifically fascinating, to begin. Skin cells from where one would pull down a waistband were recovered, and matched the previous blood stain.

Skeptically oriented towards nascent criminology - - - I guess, nevertheless, these could not be false positives.

The exoneration assumes two things: whoever left the DNA is the killer, and that the killer acted alone.

It sounds like it made you watch, so the teaser did its job well.
