Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey Review 2024 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
Our so-called media just loves to paint people into corners, especially when the people are wealthy, famous, and/or can be perceived as ‘controversial’. The Ramsey family were certainly wealthy, and some viewed the pageant circuit as controversial. It could also be argued that the family was somewhat famous, at least in the immediate area, so check, check and check.
Given Joel Berlingers diving into other cases, I went in hoping for a documentary that explored all aspects, and not just the popular narrative driven by legacy media. I was not disappointed.
Given the perspective of The West Memphis Three, and how his and one other doc managed to overturn the insanity of ‘Satanic Panic’ and ultimately free three completely innocent young men, I’m hopeful that we may someday be able to say that Jon Benet wasn’t harmed by Patsy, by Jon, or (the worst accusation I’ve heard) her brother, Burke.
The ultimate failure ultimate goes to the ridiculous handling of the crime scene and that of the police. I’ve never seen such a mismanaged cluster by so many, who jumped to immediate conclusions, yet made absolutely zero effort to explore all options, and not just one.
OF COURSE any investigation should and usually does center on the small inner circle, HOWEVER, you must simultaneously and methodically gather as much evidence as humanly possible, retain the integrity of the scene (remove all family immediately) and perform extensive and thorough forensic searches AND NOT TELL THE FAMILY TO DO SO, and CERTAINLY not alone. It’s nothing short of a miracle that none of the family were charged- but they’ve certainly endured an ugly cloud of suspicion and ludicrous accusations since that day, and due to the complete and utter ineptitude of numerous law enforcement representatives, nothing of any substance was ever found.
One hopes that, much the same as the Memphis Three case, if no one is arrested, maybe innocent people are able to prove their innocence. Which is directly contrary to how our justice system is structured to work- INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY- not the other way around.
