Read the complaint - it is very specific and tight - - I simply don't see how FOX thinks they can benefit from fighting it - - - it will cost them a fortune to defend it and they have to lose.

THE FALSE AND DEFAMATORY FOX NEWS BROADCAST
27.
On December 27, 2002, in connection with the sixth (6th)
anniversary of the murder of JonBenét Ramsey, Fox News televised
a news segment about the JonBenét Ramsey murder investigation on
the Fox News Channel ("the Ramsey segment").

28.
In the Ramsey segment, Ms. McKinley uttered the following
false and defamatory statements of and concerning John, Patsy
and Burke Ramsey:

"Detectives say they had good reason to suspect
the Ramseys. The couple and JonBenét's nine-year-old
brother, Burke, were the only known people in
the house the night she was killed. JonBenét had
been strangled, bludgeoned and sexually
assaulted, most likely from one of her mother's
paintbrushes. The longest ransom note most
experts have ever seen - three pages - was left
behind. Whomever killed her spent a long time in
the family home. Yet, there has never been any
evidence to link an intruder to her brutal
murder.
"

The gist of the statements uttered by Ms. McKinley in the
Ramsey segment is that in all probability, one or more of the
Ramseys murdered JonBenét.

The gist of the statements uttered by Ms. McKinley in the
Ramsey segment is false and defamatory.
