Patsy Ramsey’s completely gratuitous observation that “If it’s Linda, it’s okay, because she is a good,<BR> sweet person. She is just upset. She may need the money, but she won’t hurt JonBenet.” (DOI at p.<BR> 20) <P> The Ramseys then conclude the matter of Linda Hoffmann-Pugh’s fate by leaving it entirely up in the<BR> air, never to be referred to again in their book, with the statement that<P> “The police tell us they will arrange for the Ft. Lupon police to drive by Linda’s house to see if they<BR> notice anything unusual, but they don’t want to alert anyone there that they are being watched.”<BR> (DOI at p. 20)<P> Given the public’s extensive knowledge of the existence of a ransom note from reading the<BR> defendants’ book, a court might easily conclude that a fair reading of these statements could lead<BR> the general reader (and a jury) to believe that the defendants’ intended to convey the impression<BR> that Linda Hoffmann-Pugh had at least kidnapped their daughter, if not actually murdered JonBenet<BR> Ramsey. <BR> What the Ramseys fail to tell the reader is that Linda Hoffmann-Pugh was immediately cleared by the<BR> police and later appeared before a Boulder grand jury as a prosecution witness. Nowhere in their book<BR> do they mention this fact. Clearly, they want the reader to draw the inevitable conclusion that Linda<BR> Hoffmann-Pugh may have been involved in the kidnapping, if not murder, of their daughter and<BR> remains a police suspect<P><b>Please direct me to the police statement where they indicate the housekeeper and her family were cleared? I have anxiously awaited that document. Bet LHP has as well.<P>Or have you evidence that the police told the Ramseys that the housekeeper and her family were cleared? Somehow that never "leaked" out.<P>Speaking of which - - I don't even remember the tabloids carrying THAT story.<P>HOUSEKEEPER CLEARED - - - nope I can't recall that ever being written.<P>This lawsuit is just wrong.<P>And NYL's silence - while it may be for legal reasons - is maddening.<P>
