It's about damn time!

They've finally made an arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey murder.

From what's been leaked so far... they may have the right guy.

The parents were eviscerated by the media in this case, as they were implicated as the killers and have lived under that shadow ever since (the mother recently passed away from ovarian cancer).

This was one of those massive media cases that plaster you with speculation and theorys. I got sick of it all pretty quickly.

It also brings up another point about the media and murder... they only care if you were attractive (see the Scott Peterson case).

Apparently the guy has quite confessed to it. It's a shame that her mother died before they were able to catch the guy. I bet she would have loved to have thrown a "I TOLD you we DID NOT do it!!" party.

Hold the phone (or the guilty verdict). It seems that this guys story doesn't add up and they don't think he was even in Boulder. But based on his past history I don't think anybody would mind if he took the rap.

I was tired of this case 10 years ago and still am. Don't get me wrong, I think what happened was horrible and hopefully someday they catch the right guy. But it's really none of my business, concern or interest. So I could care less about watching it 24/7 on CNN or whatever other station. The fucking media makes me sick with over playing shit and dragging innocent people through the mud on the slight chance that maybe they might have done it... oh oops they didn't, but we won't appologize for anything we did.

Cause God forbid we actually hold the MEDIA accountable for ruining lives or reputations based on wild speculation.
Just give us a quick report when the guy is found guilty if it's necessary to report on it. There are a lot of other things happening in the world.

Yeah like NSA tapping being proven illegal (which means the President violated his oath of office). WAAAAAY more newsworthy than a freakshow murder case that never should have made the national news to begin with.
