    Ex-detective scheduled to present case to appellate court next week

    DENVER — Former detective Linda Arndt will renew her bid next week to make the city of Boulder pay for refusing to let her defend her professional reputation during the JonBenet Ramsey investigation.

    The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments Tuesday in Arndt's quest to revive her 1998 lawsuit that alleges a police department gag order violated her First Amendment rights.

    Arndt, blamed in some media accounts for bungling the Ramsey case, contends in her lawsuit that former Police Chief Tom Koby and current Chief Mark Beckner refused to let her clear her name.

    "Linda is very serious about seeing this appeal through, particularly because of the important First Amendment issues in the case," A. Bruce Jones, Arndt's attorney, said Tuesday.

    Attorneys representing Boulder and its police force declined to comment. Spokeswoman Jennifer Bray said city officials "were pleased with how the judge ruled last summer and are confident that there's no case here."

    Arndt's appeal to the 10th circuit — one step removed from the U.S. Supreme Court — is the first of two Ramsey-related First Amendment lawsuits on the appellate court's docket this fall.

    Linda Arndt Lawsuit??? Does this come as a surprise to anyone.

    I'm not quite sure if I'm on her side, simply because in strange ways, she made me a little unsure of her ability and sincerity, once I saw her on a number of TV shows. She really doesn't play well on the camera, in the way that the Rams and Steve Thomas do. Strangely, she reminds me of that freaky Dan Glick (name, spelling?)

    I'm not sure if I trust her, especially when I heard that she was, more or less, kissing up to Patsy and sending flowers????


    Oh well, the litigious parade goes on!
