2 Q. (By Mr. Kane) All right. Since
3 I can't ask my questions about the
4 Foundation, I'll move on to something else.
5 When you said in your book and
6 you said recently in interviews that the
7 reason, I don't know the specific page, but
8 let me ask you.
9 MR. WOOD: Let's try to find one.
10 Q. (By Mr. Kane) The reason that
11 you went on CNN in January of 1997 was
12 because Fleet White insisted --
13 MR. WOOD: Let's find that now.
14 MR. KANE: I mean, is it --
15 MR. WOOD: No, no, Patsy, please
16 wait. You've got something in the book or
17 some interview, please let us see it, put it
18 in context.
19 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Let me ask you
20 this way, did you say that in your book?
21 MR. WOOD: No. You already
22 represented it's in the book and you're
23 coming from there. So let's just find it in
24 the book and let her look at it in context.
25 MR. KANE: Okay. I will find

293
1 it. I will find it.
2 MS. HARMER: It is around 45, 44.
3 Around 45, 44.
4 MR. KANE: Thank you.
5 Q. (By Mr. Kane) All right. Mr.
6 Ramsey's statement on page 43.
7 MR. WOOD: Hold on. We found
8 it. Let me just take a look at it.
9 Okay. We are with you.
10 Q. (By Mr. Kane) This was obviously
11 Mr. Ramsey stating this in the book, the
12 last paragraph on page 43, but was that your
13 understanding too? Is that why you went to
14 see him, partially because Fleet had
15 insisted?
16 A. That was a large part of it.
17 Q. Okay. Now, that was January the
18 1st of 1997; is that correct? It was the
19 day after the funeral.
20 A. Was it? Okay. I don't remember
21 what day it was.
22 Q. All right. And this, you
23 described, in that same chapter, that same
24 page, about confrontations you had with
25 Fleet.

294
1 MR. WOOD: What page are you
2 talking about now?
3 MR. KANE: This whole, that's the
4 whole chapter.
5 MR. WOOD: The chapter Facing the
6 Cameras?
7 MR. KANE: Yes. I mean, the two
8 paragraphs before that, after Fleet arrived
9 in Atlanta, he kept arguing that we didn't
10 need lawyers to defend us. The solution was
11 to go on national television and tell our
12 story.
13 MR. WOOD: Okay.
14 MR. KANE: There is a point in
15 here, and if you are going to make me tell
16 you the exact spot, I will find it for
17 you where you say.
18 MR. WOOD: We want to be fair.
19 MR. KANE: -- Fleet got into --
20 or you got a phone call from Mr. Ramsey's
21 brother Jeff.
22 MR. WOOD: What page are you on?
23 MR. KANE: I don't have the page.
24 MR. WOOD: Well, you have to --
25 MR. KANE: All right. All right.

295
1 I am not going to ask the question.
2 MR. WOOD: I don't mind her
3 answering if you just help us.
4 THE WITNESS: Well, I mean, I
5 remember --
6 Q. (By Mr. Kane) You remember the
7 whole thing? Okay, outside of the book --
8 MR. WOOD: I want to put it
9 in --
10 MR. KANE: All right. I'll close
11 the book. I won't --
12 MR. WOOD: I do want to see what
13 you're talking about in the book.
14 THE WITNESS: There is someplace
15 where John talks about with you know
16 Fleet --
17 MR. WOOD: Jane, do you know?
18 MS. HARMER: I believe she made a
19 statement today in this interview prior about
20 this situation.
21 MR. KANE: There have been a
22 bunch of statements. I am not going to
23 quote the book.
24 MR. WOOD: But you started the
25 book and you leave it dangling about the

296
1 book, and I want you to help me find in the
2 book what you're talking about.
3 MR. KANE: It is my question
4 though. It is my question.
5 MR. WOOD: And it's not my
6 witness.
7 MR. KANE: I am withdrawing that
8 part of the --
9 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Isn't it not true,
10 Mrs. Ramsey, that Fleet White, according to
11 John's brother, that Fleet and he got into
12 some kind of argument and you got a phone
13 call at your mother's house that Fleet was
14 on his way over?
15 MR. WOOD: Hold on. The reason
16 I am asking for the book here is you all
17 asked about that, haven't you? And I
18 thought we were going to have some new
19 information in the book that would go back
20 over that.
21 MR. KANE: It is repeated in the
22 book.
23 MR. WOOD: Then what is the new
24 information? I mean, what's the point of
25 having her restate it?

297
1 MR. KANE: Are you saying we are
2 quitting at 5:00?
3 MR. WOOD: I know I am pretty
4 tired. I know you are not. Guys, what
5 time is it, what's Colorado time right now?
6 CHIEF BECKNER: 3:00.
7 MR. WOOD: Well, no wonder I am
8 the only one tired. I am in Georgia time.
9 MR. KANE: I live in the east.
10 MR. WOOD: You already told me
11 you can go all night. I already told you I
12 can't keep up with that.
13 CHIEF BECKNER: How much more do
14 we have?
15 MR. KANE: Lots and lots of
16 stuff.
17 MR. WOOD: Well, we might as well
18 come back.
19 CHIEF BECKNER: Do you have an
20 accurate --
21 MR. WOOD: Let's kick it off
22 tomorrow at 9:00.
23 MR. LEVIN: Your clients will
24 both be available tomorrow?
25 MR. WOOD: That was our

298
1 agreement. We will live up to our
2 agreement.
3 MR. KANE: Okay.
4 (Whereupon, the videotaped
5 interview of PATSY RAMSEY was continued to
6 August 29, 2000.)

The Ramseys were interviewed going in to these interviews - they said they hoped to sit with K&C and brainstorm and accomplish something. By the end of the first day, I feel sure they knew that wasn't going to happen.

Just reading this I want to lash out at Kane - he was a jerk - he was simply maddening and I honestly think he should have been asked to leave long before this point - by Beckner!

But he was paid to be there, he led the group and he made a bloody mess of it. Nothing was getting accomplished. Kane was looking for something to happen so he could go out and bad mouth the Ramseys - it is obvious - but he isn't catching that fish. Lin is getting upset for good reason - and doing a good job keeping things straight. Beckner is being a wimp.

And JonBenét's killer isn't a whisper in the room.
