I sure will!
LW sent Fox an intent to sue letter at least nine months ago.
He filed having only 2 days left in the Statute of limitations.
One of the things the Ramseys put in their complaint is that Carol apparently said in one of her segments is that there was "little or no evidence of an intruder."

Here are my transcripts of a couple of these segments from last year. I'll let readers judge how "unfair" these are to the prime suspects (this year, just like every other year since 1996):

Transcript of segment on the handwriting evidence, 12/26/02: My transcript only where I post it as a registered member
Patty Ann Brown: Now that the investigation into the murder of little JonBenet Ramsey is in the hands of Boulders new district attorney, JonBenets parents are saying they hope new, potential suspects will get them out from under the umbrella of suspicion. But after 6 long years, many experts say that one piece of controversial evidence still makes Patsy Ramsey the number one suspect. A fox report from Carol McKinley
Patsy Ramsey (on video, looking at a copy of the ransom note) Its the length, I think thats unusual, I would think
Carol McKinley: Its the longest ransom note most forensic experts have ever seen. Including Ramsey case consultant, Dr. Henry Lee.
Dr. Henry Lee: Which pedophile would spend that much time, writing three page of note
Just doesnt make sense again.
Carol McKinley: Many forensic document examiners have given their opinions as to who wrote the note. But the only one to testify before a grand jury in the case was Chet Ubowski, forensic document examiner for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Out of 100 people he analyzed for the Boulder Police Department, he found only one person whom he thought may have authored the document, Patsy Ramsey. Investigative sources tell Fox News that the disguised letters and bleeding ink from the felt tipped pen used to write the note kept him from 100 percent ID of Mrs. Ramsey. Ubowski was the only analyst to handle the original pages instead of copies. But as a possible civil libel case against the Ramseys looms, several of the leading forensic document examiners have emerged with stronger opinions. They tell Fox News they are convinced that Mrs. Ramsey is the note writer. One of them, Gideon Epstein, is prepared to testify to this in court. Whether the case is tried is up to an Atlanta Federal District Court Judge. In court documents obtained by Fox News, Epstein writes The ransom note
is an attempted disguise of handwriting that was unsuccessful due to its length. It can be concluded that Patsy Ramsey wrote the ransom note.
Nathan Chambers, Oklahoma city bomber Timothy McVeighs post conviction counsel says even if handwriting is admitted in court, theres another battle, dueling experts.
Nathan Chambers: When one side puts on an experts who claim that a particular person authored a document, the other side will up experts challenging the first experts opinions. In fact, five of the Ramseys own hired experts say Mrs. Ramsey probably did not write the note. Significantly though, only one of the five definitively eliminated her. John and Patsy Ramsey say an intruder killed JonBenet and wrote the note while they slept. They dont believe police investigated that theory thoroughly enough. But Dr. Lee disagrees:
Dr. Henry Lee: I have personal knowledge, Alex Hunters office and the Boulder detective, look at every avenue, thats seven competing hypothesis, to consider everything.
In Denver, Carol McKinley, Fox News

My transcript posted only where I post it as a registered poster
John Gibson: It's been six years to the day since the body of the little girl with big dreams was found dead in the basement of her family's Colorado home. Then a heartbreaking investigation that riveted the nation's attention for weeks and months and years. Now Boulder polices are giving the case a new look.
Are they any closer to catching the killer?
For latest, we go to Fox's Carol McKinley, reporting live from Denver. Hi, Carol.
Carol McKinley: Hi there, John.
Well, this has been a dormant case for about two years now. And, you know, most people will say that there's a lot of lip service going on in Boulder, Colorado, right now. Others will say they have their hopes up. Someone will finally find the killer of JonBenet.
But because there has been so much blame in the last six years, now the only action seen in court has been civil. So millions of dollars have changed hands, mostly by the people who blamed Burke the 9 year old brother of JonBenet, who has been cleared as being a suspect.
Carol McKinley: The Ramseys have successfully sued tabloid and mainstream media for defamation. Former employees have sued them for the same reason. But still, no one stands responsible for the six-year-old murder of the little beauty princess.
Carol McKinley: The crime scene here at the Ramsey home was contaminated from the start. People were allowed to move evidence and walk around the house. But it soon became clear who authorities suspected.
Steve Thomas (on video): The district attorney and his top prosecutor, two police chiefs, and a large number of cops, although so at odds on some points that they almost came to blows, all agreed on one thing, that probable cause existed to arrest Patsy Ramsey in connection with the death of her daughter.
Carol McKinley: Detectives say they had good reason to suspect the Ramseys. The couple and JonBenet's 9 year old brother, Burke, were the only known people in the house the night she was killed. JonBenet had been strangled, bludgeoned, and sexually assaulted, most likely from one of her mother's paintbrushes.
The longest ransom notes most experts have ever seen, three pages, was left behind.
Whomever killed her spent a long time in the family home, yet there has never been any evidence to link an intruder to her brutal murder.
John Ramsey: I think the fact is that we were the prime suspects on December 26 and never lost that ranking.
Carol McKinley: But that may change. In a recent major development, the Boulder police department, long suspicious of the Ramseys, has turned the case over to district attorney Mary Keenan to bring fresh eyes to the investigation.
Lin Wood: This is a new day in this investigation. The days of the Ramseys being the focus of this investigation, those days are over.
Carol McKinley: Critics say Keenan took over the dormant case to avoid a lawsuit by Ramsey attorney Lin Wood. But in a letter she wrote to Wood, she says, "Please understand this decision is being made for one reason only, that a violent child murderer is at large."
Lin Wood: This is about a legitimate desire on her part to find a violent child killer, not to avoid a lawsuit, not to engage in a bunch of rhetoric.
Carol McKinley: Keep in mind, John, there is no new incriminating evidence. We're still stuck with the same things we had six years ago. So whether Keenan's eyes are fresh and bring fresh answers remains to be seen, John.
John Gibson: Carol McKinley in Denver. Carol, thanks very much.
