#9, Rita on her book

"It is not a fictionalization of the JonBenét murder case,
sadly it is all true. It is a work based on real information about real
interrogations, the autopsy report, police reports, real depositions,
the bizarre ransom note, and interviews conducted with hundreds of
individuals. It represents thousands of hours of interviews conducted over a four-year period of time. The extensive dialogue is reconstructed from the best memory of those involved and, where ever possible, was carefully cross-checked with documents, testimony, and other reliable
sources."

I think Lin Wood is gonna love cross-checking her "facts".

She is basing her book on her interpretation of someone else's memories... tricky business, a bit dangerous when it gets time for lawsuits. After all, Rita was not here in the beginning - - she was not in many situations where she herself saw anything...

More important, she does not have access to all the case documents. As I remember, part of the reason her book was not published in 2002 was the release of the AMI book. If I were to start releasing more documents, would the book be put off again? I think so. I think Rita and her publisher (if there really is one) know they are taking a great risk. Huge.

Bottom line, Rita knows there is a lot of information she has no access to - and I believe she is being negligent by writing a book without those sources. Her publisher - if one exists - has more to lose than Rita.

I really think this Introduction clearly shows there are problems.
