48 Hours tonight

Freebird....

We got them there timber rattlers in Arkansas. I didn't know rattlers hibernated with other snakes. Gee, you educated me today. We now know there is a "foreign faction" of snakes in Atlanta. LOL

And about the art, yeppers don't think we will be seeing it in a museum anytime soon, unless it is a prison one.

 

Steve Thomas

forgot more about class than Patsy Ramsey will ever know. Jackie Kennedy Onassis was sophisticated. Gwyneth Paltrow is sophisticated. Patsy Ramsey is unsophisticated and class-less. In fact, she is embarrassing. She may think she is a southern belle, but anyone with half a brain can see through her. Lou Smit can't see through her. Clueless Woody can't see through her.

I don't know why anyone has been taken in by Patsy Ramsey, but I will say, show me one intelligent (I said intelligent, jameson) woman who has fallen for Patsy's fake chit. She is so freaking obvious. I had her pegged the first time I ever saw her on TV. She is phoney to the core. Her lizard husband isn't fooling anyone, either. They make a great couple - no class, phoney, manipulative, arrogant liars.

Snakes. Hissssssssssss

 

Skip,

I agree with your art critique. What I think Patsy did was: she put the canvases on the floor, squeezed out a few tubes of acrylics, then forced that little black dachshund to roll around on the whole mess.

Calling BobC....calling BobC....we have a documented case of dachshund abuse here! Send in the flying squirrels!!

 

There was not one new thing presented on their latest production. Both the Ramsey's are even stuck as if in eternal hell on the same lines: PR, "How do I say no-o any plainer than no-oo?". "Does anyone really think I could of killed MY CHILD?". JR,"She was a spark plug". Those are just the ones I can think of right off. The show was like a bad rerun.

Patsy was on antidepressants and anxiolytics (anti-anxiety agents) during her interview with the police that we saw on 48 hrs. She was stoned and slithering all over the place from the medication. She didn't require that much medication in their May 1, 1997 interview. She was able to sit up and talk without blurring every word and falling about in the chair. It is my opinion that they had her so stoned for the police interview we saw on 48 hrs in case she should slip and say something that they couldn't explain away. Need be, it could be thrown out of court as inadmissable due to the fact that she was on such high amounts of medication at the time she made those statements. They needed to be able to say that she was just confused and a little disoriented from the effects of the meds. I'll bet that idea to have her stoned for the interview came from Haddon et all.

 

Sorry, Bad Bob, but Patsy is at least two (2) weight classes above ST...

I wasn't going to watch the TV show, but my daughter called and asked if I was watching "this funny show about the Ramseys on TV." I told her I wasn't interested, but decided to watch when she said "the lady sounds and acts like she's on drugs."

I agree with Lurker - what I saw didn't do anything positive for the image of PR and JR, or Smit for that matter. In addition, I didn't think a very stong case was made linking the nut case in prison to the death of JBR. To me, it was just another of the "this person could have done it" people thrown to the media by the Ramseys, their lawyers, and their crack(ed) volunteer detectives (I think only Lou is left). Like everone else, it is just amazing to me that neither JBR's mom or dad can say her name. How strange.

Freebird - I went to Mars Hill College (up there in them thar mountains) on a track/football scholarship many, many years ago, but was only there about six months - I was too wild back then to last long at a Baptist run school! Later, after my mom and dad moved from Raleigh to Florida they had a "summer" cottage near Bevard for about 10 years. So, I'm pretty familiar with Western N.C.

 

One more example of just how delusion the old coot Smitten is. He swears someone stun gunned her to immoblize her. Ok, Smitten, the why then do you say she struggled for her life? Can't have it both ways, you and your pigs.

 

Speaking of pigs

I wonder if that poor pig squealed and struggled when they sacrificed it to the stun gun experiment and euthanized it.

Pigs.

 

Will that senile old coot get off that stun gun crap? Jesus--at this point that non-issue is as annoying as Mystery Crackpot! There's no evidence of it in the first place, and even if she had been stun-gunned, so WHAT? That proves the R's didn't do it? Why? JR had a frikkin stun gun instructional video!

Man this is exactly the kind of out there in la la land crap that makes me think Smit has either gone insane or is senile. Or doing Patsy. Whatever. Flip the frikkin' record!

 

They should feed Smit to a bunch of pigs like they did in "Snatch."

 

Waste of a totally good pig

they should have anesthesized Smit and tested the stun gun on him instead of the pig.

 

speaking of stun guns--did anybody see Geraldo the other night where he did the segment on abusive parents? He showed one father who used a stun gun on his son as punishment. The creep used the SG on himself to show how it wasn't too painful and how it didn't leave marks. His son was able to run even after being stun-gunned so all this crap about JBR getting knocked cold is so much BS. That being said, I want to debate stun guns at this point about as much as I want a root canal.

It's too late for Hunter to question Lou Smit's being the "right" detective for the job. He hired him.

 

Haha, that reminds me

of something. Hunter and Smit - they were such cats, you know. ST tells in his book that Smit remarks about the leaks coming out of Hunter's office - by Hunter himself. And Hunter says Smit probably wasn't the right guy to hire. Meow.

 

Hunter has a remarkable grasp of the obvious.

 

fibers

Well,did you all see how Lou Smit had to twist and turn to get OUT of the window?Where were the intruders fibers?Surely he was as big as Smit.This was the s.o.s. imo.And I agree with Kelly's post on the meds.

 

Maybe

Maybe they did have a stun gun - we'll never really know. That sort of thing would really interest a 9-10 year old, no? I think in their haste, they may have gotten rid of the stun gun and completely forgotten that they had an instructional video on it. After all, if it was of no use to John Ramsey, then why did he bring the instructional video back to Boulder. He obviously did have an interest in knowing more about stun guns.

BTW, on the 48 hours program, Patsy said something to the effect, "John Ramsey didn't do it and Patsy Ramsey didn't do it", BUT, interestingly, she never said Burke didn't do it.

I was also wondering why Smit bothered to climb through the window the way he did, because obviously anyone doing what he did, would have left a ton of debris, leaves and whatnot. The disturbance and markings would have been quite evident.

Oh well, my 2 cents worth.

Hi Purr

I didn't catch that part on 48 hours but if it was the memorial service in Boulder, it was Barbara Fernie holding poor Patsy up.

FWIW, I think she could of stood on her own.
