"John claims he carried her to bed that night. If he was wearing a shirt that shed fibers, one would assume that those fibers would be all over the outside of whatever she was wearing. Were they?

It's been suggested JonBenet's genitals had been wiped down. This conclusion was drawn, as I recall, because of the pattern of these same dark fibers on her body. If the fibers are from John's shirt, can we conclude he wiped her with his own shirt? That seems unlkely to me, I must confess. On the other hand, an intruder wanting to plant incriminating evidence might do just that, no?"

I agree with you DocG.

If the fibers are from his shirt they could have been all over JB and she could have transfered a few herself to her underwear.

The newspaper article with John's picture circled, or whatever, the one remeniesent of "Ricochet" (the revenge movie where the good guy was set up as a procurer of prostitutes and his best friend framed as a pedophile in order to ruin him),...WAS FOUND ON THE THIRD FLOOR NEAR JOHN'S DESK. I don't think John remember's what he did with his shirt, that's apparent with the answers he did give. HOW DO WE KNOW the shirt was still on the third floor afterwards?

Do I think there is a fiber match? NO. Do I think Lin was exercising good judgement in resisting this line of questioning? Yes. Do I think the cops were trying to set John up? Maybe, maybe not. I think he should have tried to answer the questions.

If he knew where he left the shirt and LE knew where it wound up that might be significant, not necessarily incriminating.
