Wonder, I have some things that I found and after rereading this thread, I thought I would share them with you... Every snip I am about to post can be found at this link (http://www.acandyrose.com/lousmit.htm) and from there each snip has a link to the full article/transcript...
Couric: There were reports that there were red fibers found on JonBenet that matched a sweater Patsy Ramsey was wearing.
Smit: Patsy Ramsey was sitting on the same blanket,
probably, that night, when she changed JonBenets clothing."
(How does a mother put pants on her sleeping child while sitting down? Lou, should have asked his own wife about this, before he told this probably lie
..
Smit: Well, theres a couple of good reasons for not taking a ransom note into the house. If youre caught, for instance, taking in a ransom note, you have it in your pocket when you come into the house, for instance, and theres an alarm that goes in or the police check the house or somebody sees you, its pretty obvious what your plan would have been.
Smit: Thats a very important part of this too. And that, I think, shows that the person who was writing this note had plenty of time to do it. And it starts off with Dear Mr. And - and it starts the word M on Mrs. Then it stopped. Between that practice note and the ransom note, by looking at the torn out pieces of the - of the ransom note, I believe there was close to six pages that are missing. Those pages are not found in the house either, Katie.
(Let me get this straight. The intruder was worried about being caught with the 2 ½ page RN while he/they were breaking in. However, the 6 page practice RN wasnt an issue, even though he/they were leaving a murder scene? Uhh, yeah, okay, think I may need another glass of that kool aid Lou.
Smit: The main thing you learn as a detective when you go into a crime scene, is you always try to get an interview with the people that are there. If you find a body, and you realize that theres a homicide that occurred, you always bring them into the station. If you find evidence that theyd been involved in a violent death and they have marks or bruises on them, that goes to their guilt. But if you find that they dont have these things, it also goes to their innocence.
Couric: And you do it separately? You separate them?
Smit: Yes. And you take all their clothing. And you interview them separately. Thats the time to do it.
Couric: Why wasnt that done?
Smit: I dont know. Somebody made a decision not to do that.
Couric: In fairness to the Boulder Police Department though, they did try on several occasions reportedly to get the Ramseys to be interviewed down at the police station, and the Ramseys reportedly refused. I mean if I were a parent and I want to find out who murdered my child, God forbid, I would do everything in my power to help the police solve the case.
Smit: Yes Katie. But you would also go by what your lawyers advised you to do.
Couric: Do you think their lawyers did them a disservice in some ways by protecting them too much, at least in the court of public opinion?
Smit: Yes, in the court of public opinion that is the perception.
But from the lawyers perception is that they were trying to keep their clients out of jail. That was their main focus was to protect their clients. Their main focus was not public perception.
(If they were not guilty Lou, why did lawyers need to keep them out of jail?
Carol McKinley:
These are pictures Lou Smit wants the world to see. They are early crime scene and autopsy photographs taken by the Boulder police and the Boulder County coroner's office in late Dec 1996, right after JonBenét's body was found. JonBenet's empty bed and bedroom, a footprint on the basement floor, a cord embedded in her neck.
Lou Smit: I've been very reluctant to show these photographs.
Carol McKinley: But Smit says he's releasing them now because they point to JonBenet's killer. He took the pictures without permission when he resigned from the investigation 2.5 yrs ago. Boulder authorities sued to get them back but Smit won the right to keep them. His decision to go public angers case investigators who want to keep these images sealed.
Bill Ritter: This is an investigation that you could still pick up tomorrow and work and the less the public knows about intimate details more likely you are to apprehend the killer or killers.
Lou Smit: I don't blame them a bit Carol. I think that if somebody interfered in my case I think that I'd probably be angry too.
(Lou, stole the pictures! Sorry but all his credibility just flew out the window, as far as I am concerned. He does not gain my respect. A criminal act, to support another criminal act how disgusting and now I suppose we are to believe that he would steal something, but he wouldnt lie or help to cover up a crime.. Kiss my grits you pack of criminals!!!!!!
Lou Smit, the most experienced murder detective to investigate the crime, admits that revealing secret police evidence is the hardest thing he has ever done, but justice for JonBenét demands it.
(So let me get this straight, its only wrong to give out info if youre not on the Rs spin team? Hypocrites and criminals!!!
Erin Moriarty: "No expert could eliminate Patsy Ramsey as the ransom note writer. That's damning isn't it?"
Lou Smit: "No not at all.
You're always going to have similarities in handwriting. To sit down and write a note like that, with all of those details in there after brutally killing your daughter, you never done that before, come on, give me a break."
(Yet, no one elses was similar, just Patsys. How does that work Lou? I know he cant answer but boy if he could!
November 12, 2002 - Larry King Live interview with Lin Wood
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
Lou Smit: "I know you're a Christian, John. Would you swear to God you didn't do this?"
John Ramsey: "I swear to God I didn't do it. I swear to God."
(And thats all Lou needed, an I swear to God. Wonder if he asked the Patster if she would swear to God?
