CBS Slammed With HUGE JonBenet Ramsey Lawsuit
The Horn News ~ Dec 29, 2016
In September of this year, a team of world-renowned investigators accused JonBenet Ramsey’s older brother, Burke, of being his sister’s killer in the CBS series, “The Case Of: JonBenet Ramsey”.
At the time, The Horn News warned: “At the very least, it seems likely that the Ramsey's could try to sue in civil court over the claims made in the series.”
Now it has happened – and the size of the lawsuit Burke Ramsey has slammed the network with is staggering.
On Wednesday, Burke Ramsey’s attorney announced he was suing CBS and others for a stunning $750 million, saying his reputation was ruined after their television series concluded he killed his 6-year-old sister two decades ago.
In the lawsuit filed Wednesday, Burke Ramsey claims that the network, its production company and the experts interviewed in the series on the unsolved murder conspired to defame him for publicity and profit. The series aired in September ahead of the 20th anniversary of JonBenet’s death.
The beauty pageant star was found dead in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado, the day after Christmas in 1996. A prosecutor cleared her parents and brother in 2008 based on DNA evidence. But the district attorney currently overseeing the case has said it was premature to exonerate the Ramsey's and ordered additional tests using new DNA testing technology that authorities hope will further the investigation.
Police have collected and studied thousands of pieces of evidence and say the case remains open.
CBS spokesman Dustin Smith declined to comment on the lawsuit, which is the second Burke Ramsey has filed over the television series.
In October, Ramsey, 29, sued a forensic pathologist featured on the show who said he bludgeoned his sister to death. The pathologist is also named in the latest lawsuit, which was filed in Michigan, where Burke Ramsey lives.
The new lawsuit says CBS and its featured experts set out to conduct a “sham re-investigation” of the murder with “the preconceived the story line” that Ramsey killed his sister and conspired with his parents to cover it up.
“The accusation that Burke Ramsey killed his sister was based on a compilation of lies, half-truths, manufactured information, and the intentional omission and avoidance of truthful information about the murder of JonBenét Ramsey,” the lawsuit says.

Who killed this child I fear only God and the killer know... I had just moved to Mesquite, NV in Nov '96 and the sales staff was in shock and sadden by the murder... Some said the mother did it (jealousy), some the father (lack of parenting skills), some the brother (sex), others a house invader who knew the family so when the girl saw him/her she had to die... As I said I have no idea, but who ever did it will root in hell... Don D.

I find it hard to believe that CBS invited Burke Ramsey for an interview to gather just enough storyline to twist what he said, and then produce a documentary that points the guilt at him. The guy has suffered enough and I hope he sues them into bankruptcy!
He's got a strong case, video proof of their twisting and embellishing the known facts, and has a good lawyer!
Now it's time for some payback;
