I already wrote about this on another thread, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own, and perhaps, if there are any lawyers amongst us, they may want to chime in here.
A theory has been offered on this board that the fact that the Grand Jury did not indict anyone may imply that the GJ concluded that BDI. Because of the Colorado Children's Code, he could not be charged, and so the GJ did not indict anyone and a heavy gag order was put on the case. However, I do not think this is possible for one reason...
If that was the GJ's conclusion, the Ramseys would unquestionably be one of the few who are privy to this information. I do not think that it is ambitious to assume that Lin Wood would also have this information. If that is the case, then after 10/14/99, the day the Grand Jury was dismissed, any lawsuit filed by the Ramseys on behalf of Burke with Lin Wood as their lawyer would be promoting perjury. The Ramseys filed 6 suits on behalf of Burke between 11/30/99 and 6/15/01. They were against the Globe, the NY Post, Time Warner, CourtTV, the Star, and Windsor House/Dwight Wallington. While the Grand Jury information is secretive, I cannot imagine that the Colorado judiciary would sit back and allow the Ramseys to recover all this money based on a lie!! I know there are some that probably think the Colorado judiciary would bow down for the Ramseys, but there are some lines that cannot be crossed, and lawyers/judges take an oath that they must follow the code of ethics. There is no way that this would fly...
