"Keenan Statement 4/7/2003"
 
  
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
TWENTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
MARY I KEENAN. DISTRICf ATTORNEY
April 7, 2003

I have carefully reviewed the Order of United States District Court Judge Julie Carnes in the civil case of Wolf
v. John Ramsey and Patricia Ramsey. I agree with the Court's conclusion that "the weight of the evidence is more
consistent with a theory that an intruder murdered JonBenet than it is with a theory that Mrs. Ramsey did so."

Although issued in the context of a civil case, the Court's ruling is a thoughtful and well reasoned decision
based on the evidence that was presented by the parties in that case. It should be read in its entirety.

John and Patricia Ramsey have been the focus of an exhaustive investigation with regard to the murder of their
daughter, JonBenet, for more than six years. People charged with a crime are presumed to be innocent until
proven guilty in court. Since Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey have not even been charged, much leas convicted, they must be
presumed innocent and must be treated accordingly.

For several months, my office has been investigating new and other unpursued leads, most of which involve the
possibility that an intruder committed this crime. We are proceeding with the full cooperation of the Ramseys,
Detective Lou Smit, and the Boulder Police Department. We are all focused on the apprehension and successful
prosecution of the killer of JonBenet.

A little too cool.

Despite any personal opinions that DA Keenan may have as to Ramsey Innocence, she has not come out strongly in the Ramsey's favor but only made a reference to the six years of unfruitful inquiry in one direction and that the investigation is not continuing in other directions.

I think DA Keenan realizes that the Ramseys live in Atlanta, Georgia but she had to live and work in Boulder, Colorado and does not want to make enemies by issuing any strongly worded statements.

Pity. I would have preferred someone who was more of an investigator and less of a savvy politician.

   Yes, Mary Keenan has to live and work with the people in Boulder and it is understandable that she is not going to crucify them in her press release.

That doesn't negate what she said in her statement. I applaud her for standing up and saying the Ramsey murder was the work of an intruder - that is what the evidence says.

Let her be gentle in her speech - - we all know what she said -- the headlines are screaming that the judge and DA cleared the Ramseys - - the witch hunt has ended - now the real investigation is moving forward.

   I don't know if it was the threat of a HUGE lawsuit....or Mary Keenan having the guts to do the right thing...or a combination of both, but it's about time that City sets things right.

I could never understand why Boulderites didn't demand this a long time ago---a City that prides itself on liberalism, that treats their prairie dogs better than they did a family that had experienced a horrific loss, that were living the American Dream.
