Hofstrom's work on the never-solved JonBenet Ramsey homicide case thrust him into the national spotlight. Hunter, in a controversial decision, ultimately took him off the case. "I had no regrets about that decision, but it hurt people," Hunter said. "That's all I'll say about that."
Not immediately recognizing the young woman, Hofstrom invited her to take a seat, and she shared with him her experience as a defendant he once prosecuted. She had done her time in prison and was now getting her life back together on the outside. She told Hofstrom she appreciated the way he treated her — fairly and with respect. That's almost funny. I'd need confirmation on that. This is funny. "He is a tremendous litigator," said District Attorney Mary Lacy, who after her election in 2000 reshuffled attorneys and demoted Hofstrom.
Magnificent News!!! Thank God that another is gone from the Evil Empire.......just in case another rich family whacks out the daughter and the check book. :devil: RR
SHARPIES!!! Could this be a new, unforeseen clue? The Smoking Sharpie? We all thought it was Patsy's Sharpie - perhaps our judgment was too clouded to see the real source. Anyway. Good to see another crack Boulder LE official depart. Can they do interviews/write books after they leave office, I wonder - now that Lin Wood isn't able to sue the world. This guy has seen all the evidence. If there is anything we don't know, I'd like to know about it.
R.I.P. - Retire in Peace, Mr. Hofstrom, on the bodies of all dead children whose perps you allowed to walk. Boulder's shame - reminds me of the Warren Commission Report that shall remain sealed until 3 generations of Kennedys have passed away. Perhaps it will be our great grandchildren who will finally see justice for JonBenet.
