Following the premiere of The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey on September 18, 2016, on CBS Television Network, Burke Ramsey the accused brother, is suing the TV network of defamation. One of the TV series' expert, Dr. Werner Spitz, will be included in the lawsuit.
Ramsey's lawyer, L. Lin Wood, shared an assertion with Business Insider on Wednesday accusing CBS of supposed "lies, misrepresentations, distortions, and omissions" in the docuseries, which commissioned investigators through varied expertise to re-investigate the evidences of a 20-year-old case and provide their theory who murdered six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey at their Boulder, Colorado home.
CBS claimed that new technology and forensic techniques were being used by the special's investigators not procurable on the first investigation. After acquiring all the necessary materials, the crime scene was reconstructed by building a full-scale reproduction of the Ramsey house major rooms and performed comprehensive interviews.
Conclusively, the investigators agreed on one theory that the nine-year-old Ramsey ostensibly murdered his younger sibling unintentionally due to a sudden burst of anger. Moreover, they theorized that his parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, apparently made the scheme of an infiltrator who slain their daughter just to protect their son.
"The accusations of the CBS so-called "experts" lack substantial evidentiary support and contradict the factual conclusions reached by legitimate law enforcement authorities and experts familiar with the actual evidence developed in the case. CBS' false and unprofessional attacks on this young man are disgusting and revolting," said Wood.
Wood will likewise take controversy about the show's board of experts, whom he purported are working off of a script from a book entitled "Foreign Faction: Who Really Kidnapped JonBenét?" which James Kolar wrote, according to E! News.
Regardless of the looming intimidation of Burke Ramsey's litigation, CBS keeps steadfast to its interpretation on the subject matter. In itself, the TV network has made it public that it's entirely willing to stand for itself if the lawsuit proceeds to court.
