In the conclusion of the CBS show that aired on Monday, a panel of experts said it was its opinion that Burke Ramsey, who was nine years old at the time of the homicide, struck his sister in the head with a heavy object, perhaps not intending to kill her. The 20th anniversary of JonBenét Ramseys murder inspired CBS to build a replica of the child beauty queens home for a new documentary. Experts theorise brother struck JonBenet with heavy object This fall, CBS hopes to feed the same true-crime beast with another reexamination of a high-profile 20-year-old case: the murder of 6-year-old pageant queen JonBenet Ramsey. A grand jury voted in 1999 to indict the parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, but then-district attorney Alex Hunter declined to file charges, citing a lack of evidence. The body of the blonde, blue-eyed girl, who had been beaten and strangled, was found in the basement of her parents' Boulder, Colorado, home on December 26, 1996, hours after her parents reported the six-year-old child missing and a ransom note left in the house. The two-part, four-hour program aired amid a wave of media coverage surrounding the 20th anniversary of the JonBenet Ramsey case, one of the most sensational unsolved murders in the annals of American crime. "CBS stands by the broadcast and will do so in court."
The network responded to Mr Wood with a terse statement: After a lull in important news for years, the eyes of the world would again return to the Ramsey family in September of 2016 when CBS broadcast The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey, a two-part. "CBS' false and unprofessional attacks on this young man are disgusting and revolting." If CBS's docuseries The Case Of: JonBent Ramsey only managed to dole out three bombshells during its first night, it saved all the rest of themthe evidence that very clearly pointed toward. "I will be filing a lawsuit on behalf of Burke Ramsey," Mr Wood said in a telephone interview. L Lin Wood, an Atlanta attorney who said he had successfully sued other media outlets over similar accusations against Burke Ramsey, branded the program as a broadcast riddled with "lies, misrepresentations, distortions and omissions".
