During a recent press briefing ahead of the 30th anniversary of JonBenét’s death, Boulder DA Michael Dougherty stated that he would not have publicly cleared the Ramsey family as suspects in 2008, as former District Attorney Mary Lacy did. Criticizing a predecessor for making a public declaration of innocence while simultaneously offering public commentary that casts fresh doubt on the family undermines the exact standard of restraint Dougherty claims to uphold.
“No one is ever ruled out until a case is solved.” Tell that to former Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper who ruled out Chris Busch as a suspect, sans explanation. Stay away from Chris Busch, nothing to see here.
These clusterfuck-type prosecutors are such a pain in the ass. They make up the rules as they go along.
Dougherty says his comments were taken out of context and distorted. Sure. Whatever. So clarify them and get your shit together.
