    Fibers from John's shirt were found inside JBS underpants - this is very damaging evidence.

    8-29-00 John Ramsey videotaped interview, Source: http://www.acandyrose.com/atl2000-i...john-ramsey.txt


    7 Q. (By Mr. Levin) I've got some
    8 questions, Mr. Ramsey, that deal with fiber
    9 evidence, and this is probably going to be
    10 questions that your lawyer is going to advise
    11 you not to answer, but I would like to pose
    12 them to you.
    ...
    21 Q. (By Mr. Levin) Mr. Ramsey, it is
    22 our belief based on forensic evidence that
    23 there are hairs that are associated, that the
    24 source is the collared black shirt that you
    25 sent us that are found in your daughter's
    0058
    1 underpants, and I wondered if you --
    2 A. Bull****. I don't believe that.
    3 I don't buy it. If you are trying to
    4 disgrace my relationship with my daughter --
    5 Q. Mr. Ramsey, I am not trying to
    6 disgrace --
    7 A. Well, I don't believe it. I
    8 think you are. That's disgusting.

    I suppose that in line 23 this was a typo, and it should read 'fibers' and not 'hairs', for the question was about fiber evidence.

    Could you very well informed posters help me with a question: does there exist an official source on the internet aside from this interview where it says that the fibers found in JB's underwear matched those of John's black shirt?

    For an IDI on another forum claims that what was said in the interview was merely "a police ploy which didn't work", i. e. a trick used by Levin to corner John Ramsey.
    Since the best way in such discussions is to confront the other person with officially established facts (CBI lab reports for example), tia for your help here.

    I think it's in Steve Thomas' book but I don't know if you can access it on the internet. I'll give you page numbers shortly.

    "For an IDI on another forum claims that what was said in the interview was merely 'a police ploy which didn't work', i. e. a trick used by Levin to corner John Ramsey."

    That IDI is blowing it out their exhaust! The rules of the Colorado Bar clearly state that Levin could be disbarred if he did that!

    LinWad tried that same BS on a talk show(can't remember which one) and got away with it. Too bad Punisher wasn't the host because he is absolutely right.
     
  5. Try Patsy's interview... she was interviewed before JR that day, and JR's testimony on the fibers was slim given that it was established during Patsy's interview that neither of them would be answering questions about fibers. From Patsy's 2000 interview...

    8 MR. LEVIN: I understand your
    9 position.
    10 In addition to those questions,
    11 there are some others that I would like you
    12 to think about whether or not we can have
    13 Mrs. Ramsey perhaps in the future answer. I
    14 understand you are advising her not to today,
    15 and those are there are black fibers that,
    16 according to our testing that was conducted,
    17 that match one of the two shirts that was
    18 provided to us by the Ramseys, black shirt.
    19 Those are located in the
    20 underpants of JonBenet Ramsey, were found in
    21 her crotch area
    , and I believe those are two
    22 other areas that we have intended to ask
    23 Mrs. Ramsey about if she could help us in
    24 explaining their presence in those locations.

    Larry King. Of course...

    "Too bad Punisher wasn't the host because he is absolutely right."

    There isn't a day that goes by that I don't dream of hosting a show like that! I'd have him quaking with fear!

    Even fight, I could take him!

    I've been ranting on every JB forum since the 2000 Atlanta interview transcripts became available about those Israeli sweater fibers and what damning evidence it is, too!

    And I have also been stating all along too that the Atlanta interviews were conducted by Michael Kane and Barry Levin, both licensed, practicing attorneys. They were NOT conducted by law enforcement, although LE members were present during questioning.

    While LE can fabricate such things to entice perps to confess, lawyers cannot. The interviews were conducted by lawyers in a deposition style forum, not a police interrogation. LimpWood and every IDI who claims this is fabricated evidence is full of BS!

    Thanks to you all for your very informative answers! I see more clearly now re the facts about the fiber evidence.
    The knowledge you people have about the JBR case is simply awesome.
    So fibers from John's black shirt were found both in jB's underpants as well as in the crotch area. Now if that isn't totally incriminating evidence, what else is?

    Maybe this is what DejaNu is talking about. This is from the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct.

    I don't remember hearing if LE found anything incriminating on the Rs' computers. Were any computers taken into evidence? I recall hearing that some tabloid or another announced that Burke had sent an email to someone late on the 25th, but I don't think it was ever confirmed to be true.

    I've always wondered if the Rs tried to look up information on the Internet during the staging.

    Spade,
    Thanks for posting the list of items taken from the home. Interesting that there were several items listed as weapons, such as a hammer, golf club, baseball bat and flash light.

    Questioning the toilet rage theory

    Both the size 12 panties and the longjohns were stained with urine, the amount being big enough to stain the anterior legs too.
    But if toileting issues had been the cause of Patsy's rage, then wouldn't the Ramseys have made sure in their staging that JB was wearing dry underwear?

    And if the urine was from post-mortem release, wouldn't the Ramseys have noticed this too?

    If the urine was from post-mortem release, suppose JB had had a wetting/soiling accident before being attacked, then why was there so much urine in her bladder left that it would even stain the legs of her longjohns?

    Something doesn't add up here, and I'd be interested in others' thoughts on it.
     
  18. Good Question

    Good question Rashomon. I wondered the same thing. If they went through so much trouble to stage the crime scene why would they not change her clothes? However, if this happened after death, they likely would not have noticed. The urine would not have been soak and wet. Her body had been down there for at least 7 to 9 hours, and John Ramsey did not carry her body close to his...

    Also there was no urine in her bladder according to the autopsy report. "The bladder is contracted and contains no urine (Wecht, 348)."

    I agree that it is a good question SeekingJustice and Rashomon but I think the answer is simple. The Ramsey family were not sophisticated baby killers or ransom note writers.
     
  20. True, and had they had been anywhere other than Boulder they would have likely been charged. If the first responders would have done their job we would probably not be sitting here today. Cross-contamination would have been prevented and one of two things would have happened... Ramseys would have gone to jail for the murder of their daughter or other evidence that was possibly destroyed during the cross-contamination process would have been preserved and pointed to someone outside of the house. Clearly, we will never know if evidence was destroyed or if it was simply complicated by a massive attempt on the Ramsey's part to cover up their crime.
