The kidnapper of the Lindbergh baby had the same story about accidentally killer the child. Claimed he dropped the kid.

About the Jon Benet Ramsay case, this is a great example of what's wrong with capital punishment. There are always nut cases out there, eager for their 15 minutes of fame. What if this guy was
actually convicted based on this "confession," and executed for a crime he did not commit?

DNA evidence has proved that a large number of convicted "killers" on death row were actually innocent.

This man is clearly a sicko, who should probably be incarcerated for life for his multiple crimes, but it's so easy for an outraged public to jump on the vengeance bandwagon.

His confession alone would not be enough for any DA or Prosecutor to bring charges. Either his DNA or his knowing some facts that may not have been made public would have to also be substantiated. Of course, this case has been so screwed up and so much has been released, who couldn't make up a good story to go along with the evidence that has already been released?

A lot of families that have had a family member murdered have asked the DA, Prosecutor or Judge not to sentence the person or persons that were found guilty to death. Here in PA, we have the death penalty, but have not used it since 1999. We have about 185 on death row, but for now, our present Governor has put a moratorium on the death penalty. Over the last 25 or so years, we have had more death penalties overturned than are on death row. It is going to be hard for anyone to be put to death in PA by lethal injection due to the present political climate here in the Commonwealth.

When a person is sentenced to life here in PA, they get life. There is no chance for parole. We have had quite a few (I don't know the number) inmates that were given life and have committed suicide while in their cell. You have to think; what would you do if you were in your 20's and sentenced to life behind bars? Of course, there is always a chance for a pardon. Good luck getting one of those.

I wonder, in these cases where people "confess" to crimes they have not committed, if they have manage to convince themselves that they really did it? What an interesting form of mental illness.
I wonder if there's any psychiatric research on this.

Remember that other nutcase who confessed back in 2006 Jhn Mark Karr?

"A former schoolteacher confesses to being with the six-year-old child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey when she died. John Mark Karr, an American who has been staying in Thailand, is under arrest and expected to be returned to the U.S. to face charges in the 10-year-old case."

What a wacko

I never followed up on him, but I originally thought maybe he was broke and needed a free ride back to the states.

Right after this case broke, a group of our Investigators thought that it was an intruder. However, after the ransom note was found and analyzed, they quickly changed their opinion. A few of them thought Patsy had to be involved because the handwriting was very similar to her’s and also there were some facts that only someone in the house probably knew, like the amount of the ransom matched John’s bonus check. Others were sticking with the “intruder” theory. It would be nice to see a conclusion to this mystery.

I can remember attending a seminar regarding “following the evidence.” The presenter, whom I can’t remember his name, but he was the top detective from NYPD at the time and he made the remark that every crime is solvable. So, being the daredevil that I am, asked him if he had any cold cases sitting on the shelf. He told us that they aren’t cold cases, they are just waiting to be solved. I was like, “What did he just say?”

911, I never believed Patsy was guilty nor do I believe so now. But was she forced to write that ransom note?

Like you said, some thought the handwriting was similar, the dollar amount was there and I remember seeing another opinion on that letter that was talked about at first, then dropped: the word "hence". It was said at the time, Patsy sometimes used that word enough for people to notice. Not a lot of people use that word often.

Do you remember this or am I remembering some stupid article in The National Enquirer while in line at the supermarket?
