There is only one problem with these noble sentiments, and it is this: If the Ramseys are involved in<BR> the murder of their daughter, as Linda Hoffmann-Pugh alleges in her libel complaint, and as the<BR> Boulder police and the Governor of Colorado seem to believe, then the only people who can be<BR> brought to justice, who are not the Ramseys, are by definition innocent people. When considered in<BR> this light, the subtext of the Ramseys' solemn proclamation "to find the killer" can only be interpreted<BR> as an intention to use their book in an ongoing effort to avoid prosecution by "framing" an innocent<BR> person by discussing suspects by name. One of the unfortunate legal consequences for the Ramseys<BR> in this strategy is that in order to do a convincing job of implicating another person in their crime,<BR> they must libel that person as well, naming them in the process.<P><BR><b>NYL wants to prove the Ramseys killed their daughter. I think he is libeling them with this lawsuit but it seems that libel is protected by law.<P>When NYL can't do this - - can't prove the Ramseys are involved at all - - what should HIS punishment be for hosting this sideshow? <P>It just isn't right.
