Boulder authorities and Ramsey supporters continue to mislead the public about the facts in the JonBenet murder by failing to correct even the most obvious mistakes by the half-informed media.
For instance, the Associated Press' writer John Flesher on June 16, 2004 put out the following release: "JonBenet Ramsey's Father Runs for the Michigan Legislature".
Here's one of the paragraphs in the release:
"Ramsey and his wife, Patsy, were never charged in JonBenet's killing, and the district attorney and a federal judge in Colorado have said it is likelier that an intruder was responsible, as the parents insist."
That paragraph is loaded with mistakes that falsely paint a picture that ALL of the Ramseys are innocent.
First of all, the "federal judge in Colorado" is really Judge Julie Carnes of Atlanta, Georgia, and not a federal judge from Colorado.
And Carnes didn't say "it is likelier that an intruder was responsible". The AP account falsely broadens Carnes comment to include all Ramseys, not just Patsy. That is mis-information distributed nation-wide by ill-informed people that goes uncorrected by Boulder authorities and by the Ramsey camp.
Here's what Carnes actually stated in her opinion, which was included as part of her reasoning for throwing out the civil lawsuit of Wolf v Ramsey (in which Wolf claimed Patsy Ramsey killed JonBenet):
" ... the weight of the evidence is more consistent with a theory that an intruder murdered JonBenet than it is with a theory that Mrs. Ramsey did it."
Judge Carnes' comment is restricted to Patsy Ramsey ONLY, not John, nor Burke, nor to anyone else. JUST PATSY!
To not correct obvious misinformation shows a lack of character by the Ramseys and their followers. However, since in this case it gives John and Burke an unearned "get out of jail free" card, it's a little bit understandable. But for Boulder authorities, especially D.A. Mary Keenan, to not correct the grossly misleading information is unexcuseable.
