> When Jameson turned the tables and exploited the Ramseys for her own financial gain and put them in potential legal peril, she was cut off from a distance through the arm's length of a lawyer.

Exactly how do you conclude that the Ramseys were "exploited"? John Ramsey had already said he wanted everything made public. According to Lin Wood's own statement, the original source of the documents provided by jameson to the Enquirer was unknown to him. I think we can conclude the source was not the Ramseys or their attorney. That means she was not in any kind of unique position. She was in the same position as every author, commentator, reporter, and source who has made information about the Ramsey case public. It was up to her to decide what to do with the materials in her possession, and that is what she did.

The publishing of the Enquirer book and the announcement that the Boulder County DA's office was taking over the investigation occurred almost simultaneously. That means to me that the information provided by jameson for the publishing of that book did no harm to the Ramseys. The people charged with investigating the crime already had access to the transcripts, so there was certainly nothing about making them public that could possibly hurt the investigation. Getting the investigation into the hands of someone other than the BPD has been something Lin Wood, the Ramseys, and jameson have been very vocal about for some time now, so, for the Ramseys, things couldn't have worked out any better.
