Burke Ramsey is bringing suit against CBS, and I'm glad.
Given the first amendment, I doubt he wins anything.
Though libel can be punished, my guess is that since he was present in the house when the crime was committed, a judge (or the appellate court if needed) is going to rule that the show constitutes journalism and simply presented reasonable speculation about who may have committed a crime.
In short, Burke's attorney is wasting his time, and the time of his client.
Too convoluted just to pin it on her brother. I dont buy it for one second. I can believe one of the parents did it but to blame it all on a nine year old because of a bowl of pineapple is just silly.
What was in the bowl, if anything, is not important.
Rather, you are missing the other deeper motivations: pride, a sense of ownership, a refusal to apologize etc. . These motivations are not silly and lead to some people get killed over sports teams, "staring at somebody", and all sorts of "disrespect".
That aside, I think the crime would have been hard for a nine year old to physically commit. The lead detective concluded it was the mother after getting enraged by a bed wetting incident.
Well, now this next part of the documentary makes me think there WAS an intruder. What a freakin' botched investigation.
The lead detective acknowledged the botched investigation and said it was the result of a "perfect storm":
-Boulder (very affluent city) police and DA have very little experience in homicides of any sort, espescially those where the defendant refuses to cooperate.
- The family was wealthy and the wealth had been earned through business ability as opposed to say, inherited wealth. This meant that the possible defendants were not only wealthy, but also intelligent. This made them very hard to investigate.
