a question for John Ramsey
This time of year brings the 12th anniversary of the unsolved murder of JonBenet and with it comes the ever unanswered questions. Queries for the media, other questions for investigators or prosecutors that may be leaving their post with more for officials coming new to the case in 2009. And yet one more question for John Ramsey that should not be allowed to slip by again, ever--
Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Posted by Alan Riley
"Oh, sure the Boulder DA officially apologized to the Ramseys....But what about all of the pundits and “experts” that appeared on TV with Geraldo Rivera, Nancy Grace, CourtTV or any of the other bottom-feeding entertainment journalists out there and declared that John or Patsy or both were guilty? Are they going to apologize to the Ramseys also? Not a chance - they are on to a new ratings-grabbing story.
In this day of 24 hour news cycles and what seems to be the media circus du jour, the principle of the presumption of innocence is in serious jeopardy. Anyone who is publicly identified as a “person of interest” in any high profile case is immediately presumed guilty by a large percentage of the viewing public. And there is no where you can go to get your good name back.
Just ask John Ramsey."
