Dave,
I read about it today.
Excellent.
I want you to know that I do have an open mind and before the corroborating DNA, it would be even more open.
That's fine.
It is so easy to blame others for not getting an indictment.
I would say that in at least some of those incidents, the blame is well-deserved. Or doesn't it bother you that witnesses were not called, evidence was not collected, or that the Grand Jury was essentially a dog-and-pony show? And that's not just me saying that.
They had a lot of small pieces and theories and the truth is that it just would not have held up.
I don't know. I know of a lot of people who have gone to death row on a lot less. Scott Peterson is one. Casey Anthony looks like she'll be another fairly soon.
I think the stuff about John's daughter dying earlier is garbage as to what his state of mind would be.
Well, you're entitled to think that. But I'm guessing you never had that happen to you. Neither have I.
He has no signs of being a molester.
Would you like a list of that, too? Moreover, like I postulated earlier, it didn't necessarily have to be him. Sometimes I wonder if my bro isn't right.
If it was crazy, Roy, I wouldn't buy into it, if you smell what I'm cooking.
I have read and tried to understand how you view a lot of the pieces.
Having any luck?
Should I take that as a compliment or an insult?
I even sat down and came up with my own theory based on how it would have happened if I believed some of the things that you do.
That should be interesting.
One day I will send the scenario to you.
Oh, keeping me in suspense. All right, have it your way.
It is unique and twisted as your view is.
"Twisted?" You should have quit while you were ahead. A guy could take that the wrong way.
I say that with respect because you have read and studied a whole lot.
Well, to tell the truth, I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, you may be on "the other side," but you seem to be the kind of guy I could get along with in "real life." On the other hand, remarks like "twisted" have a way of putting me off.
But I believe a lot of that information is slanted due to personal feelings of the authors as well as the desire to sell books. And I mean that from the Ramsey side too.
No doubt. That's why I talk about putting the pieces together, instead of just following what someone else says in lockstep.
I could easily come up with scenarios of how someone who knew the Ramsey's tried to frame them with the evidence as well.
I'm sure you could, and I've heard a few in my day.
I really am starting to understand the significance of the Ransom letter now.
Really? You interest me.
If the case is ever solved, it will be a story like no other.
Of that, I have no doubt.
I better understand why people as such as yourself feel as you do because of the note.
Anything you want to tell me, or ask me? I'm listening.
I am trying to be openminded.
That's always good.
I would like to see others do so here as well, not necessarily you.
Well, my father always told me, "son, always keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out." That's not an insult. What he meant was it's not a good idea to let your intellectual curiosity override your common sense.
I understand DNA pretty well and in July this case took a turn.
A turn in the wrong direction, in my view.
It is brushed aside here and excuses are made.
That's due to several factors. Anyone here can list them for you, but for me, the big two are (1) I can't ignore the big picture; (2) I just flat-out do not trust the person who is putting all of her chips behind it. With good reason, I might add. You might understand DNA pretty well, but I don't think she does. I think she's too enamored with it and that she is blinded by her agenda. And that's not just my opinion. A lot of people, including several police, FBI agents and even former campaign workers think Mary Lacy is "in the tank" to use an expression very popular this last election. And I'm perfectly happy to give you specifics. It's not exactly Nixon going to China, here.
What we don't know is just how diligent this case is being worked with the new evidence.
Well, this is just informed speculation Roy, but I don't think they're doing all that much. I base that on past history.
Someone made a post not long ago that believes the Ramsey's are guilty. They said that Boulder should get all the people that were involved with this case to sit down and discuss all of this together with the new developments. I agree, as long as they keep their mouths shut.
Well, I don't know who said that, but I think it's a great idea.
If not that, I'm a big believer that the governor of CO (who was part of the prosecution team, BTW) should appoint a special team to investigate this case from the beginning.
I believe if they did this and left their ego's at the door they may solve this case quickly.
I say it's worth a shot.
This whole case sucks the more I read, really disturbing no matter what your opinion is.
Amen.
