Federal Judge Says No Evidence Parents of JonBenet Ramsey Killed Her
An Atlanta federal judge has dismissed a civil lawuit against the parents of JonBenet Ramsey. In the 93 page opinion, the Judge "criticized police and the FBI for what she said was a media campaign aimed at making the family look guilty."
U.S. District Court Judge Julie Carnes in Atlanta said in the ruling this week there was no evidence showing the parents killed JonBenet and abundant evidence that an intruder killed the child.You can read the 93 page opinion here. The Ramseys were represented in the case by Atlanta attorney and libel expert Lin Wood:
"I just find it, from A to Z, a total, unequivocal victory for John and Patsy Ramsey," Wood said. "The court has done what I've urged the public to do from day one. Look at the evidence. ... If you look at the evidence, you will reach the same conclusion Judge Carnes reached. This is a family that has been horribly and wrongfully accused of the murder of their child." Wood said that since Boulder County District Attorney Mary W. Keenan took office, she has rejuvenated the investigation into JonBenét's murder. Characterizing Keenan's investigation as "very active," Wood said investigators "are doing things in that case that have never been done before," including testing foreign, male DNA that was found in JonBenét's underwear.The Plaintiff, Chris Wolf, who had sued the Ramseys for defamation, was represented by New York Lawyer Darnay Hoffman, who has been on a crusade to charge and convict the Ramseys for years, at one point even threatening to move to Boulder and run for District Attorney.
