JonBenet Ramsey's father forgives media

John Ramsey says he has forgiven the news media for the "cyberspace lynching" he and his wife endured until prosecutors cleared them in the 1996 killing of their 6-year-old daughter, JonBenet.

I still think someone in his family is guilty. What sort of murderer sits down at the kitchen table and writes a two-page ransom note?

Mr. Ramsey is a bigger person than I could be. The media punished them and tortured them... I never for one minute thought that he or his wife were guilty...His poor wife, Patsy, went to her grave with people thinking she had something to do with Jon Benet's death. She is now with Jon Benet and knows the truth as to who did that terrible thing to her. God love and bless Patsy, Jon Benet and John Ramsey. This was one of the WORST cases of media hype and is GUILTY of torturing innocent people. Shame....

Patsy Ramsey always knew what happened to JonBenet, IMO.

Plus, the Ramseys had no problem pointing the "child killer" finger in the media at others MANY TIMES, in their own book, no less, and they can't ALL be guilty. Did the Ramseys ONCE apologize to the innocent people forever painted as monsters with that broken paintbrush, thanks to THEM, the RST, and THEIR SUPPPORTERS? No.

So Pot, meet Kettle.

One who is waiting in the house for the family to get home and settled into bed? Killing time. Why not?

NEVER, never thought the Ramsey's were guilty of that killing. John Ramsey is a bigger person than anyone of us could be. Rest in PEACE Patsy...and Jon Benet. THey will all have a higher place for all the pain they had to endure...Jon Benet's death and the media accusing them. Not to even mention Patsy's battle with Cancer. Media can so mean...

John is a kind person. I couldn't be so gracious, don't know if I would want to be that nice.

I could forgive those who were honestly believed the evidence pointed to the Ramseys - but those who KNEW there was exculpatory evidence and chose to ignore it so they could viciously attack - get up their ratings - be a leader in the mob... I don't think they should be given a simple pass. Peter Boyles, Nancy Grace and a few others -- I think forgiveness is far too great a gift to waste on them. JMO

The media didn't do anythin wrong and has nothing to be forgiven for.
Someone in that family killed that little girl and it's likely that Patsy took that secret to her grave. There's no way it was a stranger.

You're absolutely correct. Never heard of a kidnapper that did not have an already prepared note when he arrived. No way to know that the opportunity would present itself to do so at the home. Ridiculous that anyone could believe that.

yeah, LOCHEED MARTIN really made JOHN MAD, that's why he blamed them in the RN...but, he chickened out by morning and called the VP to say 'nevermind. Don't let's call security and follow protocol, and I'll steer cops toward Merrick, FW, and anyone BUT you guys..never mind that bit about the country and y'all'.

traitor joe and patricia fox, you two are 2 pitiful people too think that these parents or any parent for that matter could have had anything to do with this crime. it has already been proven that the dna did not belong to anyone of the ramsey's. so in other words what you two are saying is that john and patsy sit back and watch as whoever the dna does belong to did whatever they wanted to to this child and then bash her head in and tie her up. now do you see how crazy that sounds.

Hey Patricia,
Could you point me to that book you read on how to do a kidnapping?
I didn't know there was a system that you have to prescribe to in order to kidnap someone.

I mean, how many professional kidnappers are there in the United States making a living as professional kidnappers and writing books on the right way to kidnap children?

Why is it that we have all these "experts" that know exactly how a murderer would think and behave? The character of this family was assasinated by the media while an investigation was taking place, which should never have been allowed to happen. If one or both of the parents had remained a suspect, it would have been impossible for a fair trial if it had come to that. They have been cleared, and still people want to continue the witch hunt on a family that endured a horrible tragedy.

Unfortunately for the RST the "clearing" must AWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be qualified. They were "cleared" BY MARY LACY!

After searching for the non existing intruder for years, after hiring an adlepated, geriatric investigator to invent a prophile of the non existant intruder, after using a crazy staff member from the crazy University of Colorado to produce a living red herring, Mary Lacy resorted to misusing high end science that no one but highly educated scientists know anything about to try to avoid scrutiny and mask her biased, un supported, irrational methods of legal wrangling.

The "clearing" of the Rasmeys is null and void because Mary Lacy is irrational and may well be certifiably insane.

Well, I don't think kidnappers need a manual to figure out YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY TAKE THE VICTIM WITH YOU.
