Psalms

44:3 ... nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm,

44:7 but you give us victory over our enemies,

 

49:14 ... and death will feed on them.

 

50:5 "Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

50:8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices

50:14 Sacrifice thank offerings to God ... and call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you and you will honor me.

50:16 But to the wicked ...

50:17 You hate my instruction

50:24 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me. ... so that I may show him the salvation of God.

 

Yes indeed Paradox, the Bible is full of words like death, sacrifice and instructions form the almighty God. Hardly surprising, isn't it?
You can cite all 150 Psalms here, and still your theory does not have an evidentiary leg to stand on.

Random example: you say Patsy planned to 'sacrifice' her daughter on Christmas night. Well, in that case, she would hardly have planned ahead for a pageant which JonBenet was to attend in January.

Amazing, Paradox. Just amazing. Patsy's friends said in McLean's book how religious she has always been.

All your very good psychoanalysis is interesting, that's for sure. You could be right.

On the other hand, there is no way to know, is there? I believe Patsy was all over the crime scene, the ransom note, and may or may not have struck the blow, used the garrote, done the staging, some or all.

But until we see the evidence in full, if even then, there's just no way to know. Until someone breaks the code of silence surrounding the Ramseys and their family and friends, a number of theories could be part or all of the truth. But we don't know which. It comes through loud and clear that Patsy's fanatical friends and family will never believe she is or was anything but a living angel. Their devotion to her--and she did a lot for them as a friend in their times of need, in all truth--is complete. They'd find a way to justify the murder if they knew she did do it, and keep the wagons circled even then, I believe.

What I do believe we who do not have blinders on know about this crime is that Patsy wrote the note, that she and John were in on the cover-up with the note and the staging and the lawyers from Hell. Their behavior, the LE interviews we have in transcripts, the depositions under oath, the physical evidence, and the "missing" evidence never subpoenaed by Hunter or Lacy, all point to the Ramseys. Who struck the blow, who tied the garrote and used it on JonBenet, who tied the wrist binding, who inserted the paintbrush--lots of theories work with what we have.

What I believe is the only hope to solve this once and for all is for someone to talk. One day. A friend of a Ramsey who needs money...someone like that. But Lin Wood may have put the kibosh on that, too. There's a reason the Ramseys want no one talking about this case.

 

kk, The Psalms have been a part of this case from day one. Investigators and people close to the case have speculated about the killer's use of them in the staging. The word commonalities between The Psalms and the rn is a fact, even if Saved By The Cross is a guess for the initialism.

These facts may or may not have been presentable to a jury. But they certainly could have been presented to Patsy had the investigators been allowed to persue her.
