But that it was vicious doesn't necessarily mean it was premeditated. Criminal history is full of people who have done vicious things in a rage which they forever regretted afterwards, and I believe the head bash delivered to JB was one of these things.
Thanks much, Rupert, for helping to look for the Kali scoop. WS moved several times, and Justice Watch no longer exists, not the original one, so I have no idea of the original source. Sure wish the book authors had web sites, and maybe even their books online with a word index/search feature. Maybe just the keywords feature rather than whole books. I don't know if that's technically possible. Publishers should have them on discs.
Rage, yes. Because of JBR's attempted 911 call I think, much more serious than bedwetting. Lots more rage than any parent could ever come up with, imho. Guys who molest little girls typically want to think the child is in love with them, egomania. Finding out that JonBenet disliked it enough to try to call police on him would have been really enraging. She was probably in pain when Janet McReynolds allegedly found her on some back stairs crying, because coroners said about the autopsy that a previous wound was healing, from 48-72 hrs old, right? That party had been on the 23rd.
And if it was her father, would he have done anything to her when they had a house full of party guests? He would have had plenty of other opportunities. Evidently JBR couldn't get any grownups to pay attention, so she tried the call.
We've said, the parents had plenty of time to clean up all the "evidence" left behind, and the brains to know cleanup should be done, if they did it. And I've asked in a new thread, wasn't there some semen, with no sperm? That would mean the killer was male and had had a vasectomy? I have no idea where that would be found. We moved, a lot, since the olden days, "in the beginning".
Re Premeditated, some hater mastermind may have been planning "the perfect crime" against this family for a long time, but maybe it took the RAGE due to the attempted 911 call to actually put it all into action. There was certainly rage.
