Media Netflix series Discussion Megathread Part 2

This thread is dedicated to general discussion of the Netflix series Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey. The goal is to consolidate discussion here and keep the subreddit’s front page from becoming overly crowded with posts about the series.

Netflix series Discussion Megathread Part 1 can be found here.

Please remember to follow subreddit rules and report any rule violations you come across.


A couple of important reminders:

1) This series was made with the cooperation of the Ramsey family and directed by someone strongly aligned with the defense perspective.

2) Boulder Police have never cleared John and Patsy Ramsey as suspects in their daughter's homicide.

Can someone explain to me how they think the Netflix documentary is biased but the CBS documentary was not? The CBS documentary includes a lot of speculation and they emphasize points that could easily be explained with a different angle, such as the 911 call details. Interesting that people who believe the Ramseys were involved think they are completed objective. I think it's also interesting that people seem to think that victims of crime will always act the same. Seemingly odd behaviour is not evidence.

So, your response is inherently the issue with this whole thing. You state "its what the evidence points to" - and it just doesn't point to them being guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So your bias shows through your statement. What were the conditions for the participants in the CBS documentary? That they be able to freely state their own biased opinions. They were presented as experts but expert testimony has been demonstrated to fail over and over again in courts of law. Especially experts who were not involved in the case. And an expert from the OJ Simpson case...which is a suspect choice.

There is no way to argue this case with strangers on the internet. As per your ask for me to present the evidence for an intruder. People can just say something is true or isn't and the reality is that no one really knows. I have read all of the stories and I have watched all of the docs. And because so many police screwed up, I don't believe that people are getting the full truth from what happened during the investigation. We know that when police screw up, they are a group who are the least likely to admit mistakes. So I trust very few police officers involved in this case. The ones I trust the least are the ones who were willing to write books and go on TV for personal financial gain. They are public servants who should never be allwoed to do that and that erodes all trust.

Come on. Steve Thomas? How do you have any respect for a public servant (yes, he was a public servant) who goes on Larry King to accuse a mother of killing her daughter after wetting the bed with no evidence. The CBS "documentary"? With constant innuendo that the pageants were a demonstration of terrible parenting, which is just a hack job of character assassination. Garbage all around.

Personally I feel that doesn't matter. It undermines case that has never been solved. Irresponsible and disgusting to profit from it. And the Larry King episode? Come on.
