Q. Who is the pediatric expert that thought that there may have been some corporal punishment

Q. Steve Thomas: What was interesting is that we found no history or pathology or evidence to
indicate that John Ramsey had any untoward relationship or discipline with his children. Is that true?
A. I've never thought that.
Q. I found Patsy Ramsey to be a complex person on many levels but there had been no reported
history of any abuse in the house; is that true?
A. What are you reading from, Mr. Wood?

Q. Be glad to. I found Patsy Ramsey to be a complex person on many levels but there had been no
reported history of any abuse in the house. Is that true?
A. Yeah, we had no reported incidents of any abuse in the house.
Q. You talk about in your book that JonBenet was an incredible little kid, right? A. Are we on the last page?

Q. You talk about something that sounds a little bit like something I read in Perfect Murder, Perfect
Town about the sun and the rhythm of the earth beneath her feet. "She was an incredible little girl who
loved to be tickled. Ms. America was the leastshe could have been." Am I reading that correctly?

Q. Do you give her parents any credit for that in terms of bringing her up for those six years?
A. Certainly.
we had no reported incidents of any abuse in the house.

Thomas played the semantics game very well.
