#0, Henry Lee's "not a dna case" one more ti
Posted by DonBradley on Nov-19-02 at 07:27 AM
The Rocky Mountain News reported that an 'unidentified' consultant stated "I have always said this is not a dna case". He seems to have been heavily influenced by unstated items since he uses the phrase 'when considered with everything else'.

These comments were made in a statement concerning the discovery of human dna in new, unopened panties obtained from the south east asian manufacturing plant.

No information was given as to the number of panties that were sampled or how similar the crime scene panties dna is to the fingernail dna.


#1, "taking everything else in total

Another investigator with expertise on forensic issues, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, confirmed the theory that the underwear DNA might be the result of point-of-production contamination.

And, wherever it came from, that investigator said, "We certainly don't think it is attributable to an assailant. That's our belief. When you take everything else in total, it doesn't make sense. I've always said this is not a DNA case. It's not hinging on DNA evidence."
Excerpted from RMN.

When you take everything else in total translates to "based on the brainwashing I've already had from the BPD, I started off thinking it was not attributable to an assailant and now I still think the same garbage that I started out thinking.

Give me a break.

This started because of a thread on this forum - - and a question sent in email to the Boulder police.

Subj: A thought on the panties

There has been a theory out there that the DNA mixed with JBR's blood in the panties is actually from the person who MADE the panties - but... the panties were new and came in a package of 7. Were the other panties tested to see if that DNA was in those panties also? If it was - that would knock out that bit of intruder evidence for NO ONE thinks he handled panties Monday, Tuesday......

Just a thought.

I hardly think that finding DNA from an Asian factory worker on anything makes the male Caucasian DNA in JonBenét's panties unimportant.

I was suggesting that the police test the other panties that were in the same package as the Wednesday panties. If the same DNA as on those panties - - that might be important.

Instead we have this insult to our intelligence.

is of the DNA the "investigator" found? Just saying they found DNA by itself, doesn't tell you the whole story.

#4, The whole story?

I don't think the BPD will ever tell the whole story about anything involving this case.
They will be happy to tell the Anti-Ramsey portions, however.

If their is no dna then theirs no case because their is not enough evidence to do anything. The palm print and pubic hair cannot be matched to anyone and I doubt they belong to the killer anyway.
The fiber evidence is week, so without dna you have nothing unless you can find the end of the paint brush on a certain individual.

Lou didn't want his full deposition released because he was withholding evidence from the public. There is more out there. And best it stay private so the new investigators can work that right.
