Probably because there was no opinion to be had:
STEVE THOMAS: "Despite what has been out there publicly, this was not an elaborately fashioned or skillfully prepared instrument. In fact, it was a rather crude, homemade type device. It did not appear that any great skill was required to prepare this instrument."
STEVE THOMAS: "I have heard John Ramsey talk about this very elaborate killing tool. In fact, I disagree. There was nothing that I saw that was elaborate about it, a broken paintbrush handle (Patsy's) with some cord wrapped around it, does not equate to an "elaborate" killing tool to me. In fact, I found it quite elementary."
