Why did Burke strike JonBenet on the head?
Why did Burke strike JonBenet on the head?
icedtea4me,
Only BR knows. Some reckon he whacked JonBenet on the head to prevent her telling Patsy whatever took place?*snip*
So, which of those eight options do you think took place?
Because he was a 9 year old kid and she did something he didn't like, it could be any one of those things listed, I don't think it makes much of a difference. JMO.
Why not more than one simmering reason, which then came to a head? I'm inclined to believe several of the options contributed to the act of violence which gravely harmed JBR.
As for the pineapple possibly being the last straw, there is evidence in one of the interviews with young Burke that he did view his own food and drink as his property. He reacted badly to the therapist accidentally taking a sip from his soda. This isn't that abnormal in of itself. I remember being territorial with my sister over many things, including food on my plate. Even though, looking back now, I can acknowledge it was petty.
Before the documentary, I firmly believed that he struck her over the head to quiet her while he was "playing doctor" with her. However, after seeing the documentary, I now believe that he struck her after she took some of his pineapple.
The pineapple has to fit into the equation, since it's something so minor for Patsy to have lied about. Why would she deny having pineapple, unless something major involving it happened shortly before JBR died.
IMO: Burke got the flashlight to go downstairs to get some pineapple. JBR followed him and he told her not to take his pineapple. She did, and he got mad and whacked her on the head, not knowing his strength. IMO: the scream was his, when he realized that she went unconscious. John and Patsy ran downstairs at that point and started the cover up.
All :moo:
The bolded is problematic because, BR wouldn't have gone past JBR's bedroom to get to the kitchen. You should look at the schematic of the house (just do a google image search, or look in this threads, it's on here somewhere). BR's room was all the way on the opposite side of the house, and nearer to a separate staircase (that led to the front door). *snip*

So she could watch television
in another room? But, isn’t it easier to move a TV, rather than the entire contents –
clothes, dressers, toys and furniture, to another room?
It’s interesting that they moved JonBenét to the other end of the hall, isn’t it? Was it really for the television or for other reasons? It’s easier to move a television. If JonBenét wanted to watch television, why move rooms –just move the damn television.
