On the 25th anniversary of #jonbenetramsey’s death please speak out against the silly idea that someone other than the parents is responsible. Evidence against the parents is overwhelming. That said, prosecuting John could be tough bc he can point the finger at Patsy. /1

Whenever 2 suspects stick together they can avoid prosecution if the evidence implicates both. They become each other’s reasonable doubt. It’s a well-known defense tactic called the cross finger-pointing strategy. Each person is the plan B suspect for the other./2

Nobody on 2 legs believes a stranger killed JonBenet. Let’s examine evidence that rarely makes the news, starting w/the fact that John & Patsy Ramsey were INDICTED by a grand jury for the crime of “child abuse resulting in death.” This means they did not INTEND to kill her. /3

“Child abuse resulting in death” is consistent with evidence that JonBenet died from respiratory failure as a result of benzodiazepine overdose. Evidence of benzodiazepine overdose comes from police interviews of both Ramseys about a large amount of benzos in the home./4

Victims of child sex abuse and child porn are often given sedatives to make them compliant and to cause amnesia so they can’t remember the abuse the next day. If they can’t remember the abuse they can’t report it to police, school officials etc. /4

Benzodiazepines are very dangerous for children-especially when used sporadically-& can cause respiratory failure. Someone apparently tried to shake JonBenet out of unconsciousness bc autopsy showed JB had perimacular folds in her retinas-which happens when a child is shaken. /5

Other important evidence includes that JonBenet’s vagina had old AND new injuries-meaning she was violated the night she died AND previously. This evidence speaks for itself. She had been to the pediatrician 27 times in three years-many visits were for genital problems./6

The first two search warrants in the case were for child porn. Results from the searches were filed with the court in coded form meaning the content of what was seized by police has never been revealed. /7

Autopsy showed JonBenet had undigested pineapple in her stomach, which means she ate it w/2 hours of death & she died around midnight. Police seized a bowl of pineapple from the kitchen table & sent it to a drug lab for testing. Results have never been revealed. /8

Police asked John & Patsy at length about the pineapple. Both adamantly denied that they gave JonBenet pineapple the night she died, tho Patsy’s fingerprints were present. Why would a parent deny giving a child pineapple? They knew it had been sent to the lab for testing./9

John was wearing a black Israeli wool sweater the night JonBenet died. Fibers matching his sweater were found inside the crotch of the underwear JonBenet was wearing when her body was found. The underwear were from a new package-were much too large & had never been washed.

When Patsy was asked about the underwear, she explained that the pair JonBenet was wearing when her body was found had come from a previously unopened day-of-the-week package of “Bloomies” she bought at Bloomingdale’s in NY as a Xmas gift for JonBenet’s older cousin.
/11

When John was asked if he had an innocent explanation for why sweater fibers matching his Israeli wool sweater were found inside the underwear JonBenet was wearing when her body was found, he started yelling at police; he had no explanation. /12

Only 10% of the case file has been released to the public. Media demands for release of the entire file have failed bc of silly claims about DNA & “new suspects.” JonBenet cannot speak for herself. Who speaks for the child in a case like this?
