Now that the police have caught the killer of Jon Ben�t Ramsey http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/4122006.html will Matt Stone and Trey Parker apologize to the Ramsey parents for calling them murderers in the South Park episode "Butters' Very Own Episode"?
Ummm....having a suspect is not the same as having "the killer". And the Ramseys were under suspicion at the time, that wasn't something Matt/Trey came up with on their own. Additionally, no one has been convicted of anything yet. However it'll be interesting to see if an impartial and fair jury can be found that hasn't formed an opinion based on these breaking news stories.
Actually, it's not. The rules of evidence don't allow for conviction based on a confession alone. There must be corroborating evidence or the deal ain't done.
<scoff!> No, it's not. The guy could be deranged; the guy could be seeking attention; the guy could be taking the fall for someone else.
There are all sorts of possible explanations for his confession. The investigators still have to dot all the I's so the prosecutor can get a conviction. A confession alone won't do it.
I'm all for impartial juries, and in today's media age I don't think you can find anyone that has not heard about the case and formed some sort of opinion of it. If they say they haven't heard about it then they are lying or are retarded or in some way abnormal. Someone would have to be completely shut off from the real world to truly not have heard about the case, and I don't think you'd want someone like that judging you.

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I HATE!
--- Jon binay however the fuck you spell her spoiled ass name Ramsee! We dont care! Good fucking riddens!! What the fuck do you expect if you fucking put your kid in all these beauty pagents when shes 4 years old! SLUUUUUUUUUUT!!! I bet her damn dad did it. Fuckin perv.
A legendary Colorado detective came out of retirement, when the Jon Benet case first began to bog down. He refuted most everything the police were trying to claim and he then resigned, saying in his letter that he could not condone the persecution of innocent people and that worst of all, a real child killer was being ignored.
Sometimes police are more interested in A conviction... than in convicting the guilty party.
Imagine the horror of having your little 'doll' murdered... and then having the government and tabloids conspire, to turn all of America against you, convinced of the lie that you are the killer.
Now we all know that is not going to happen. These people live to upset people. They live by upsetting people. That makes for ratings. Ratings make money. Do you think there is any money in an apology.

Well you may have proved me wrong as I suspect for that much money they would likely do anything...anything...anything but that. The Pope, Jews, Christians of all kinds...these people owe a lot.

Alot of us suspected the parents. It is almost like that was what we were suppose to do. It is conditioning. The media would not let up. It someways even when they appeared to be helping the end result was more doubt about the parents. Then we all play TV detective and follow over the profiles. I am ashamed.

It sounds like people are starting to have doubts about the suspect's story, so it might still be too early to draw any conclusions. This could get interesting.
What you're sayin' would be fine except the guy that's been arrested and has confessed to the murder has admitted to drugging and raping JonBenet although he claims her death was an accident. I read the reference that Captain Infinity posted when he started this thread, and it said that some news accounts had pointed the finger at the older brother. I guess anyone close to the family without a concrete alibi would be a suspect.
I've seen a few things on the news over the last couple of years where a bereaved spouse has appealed for someone to come forward with information about their partner's disappearance/murder, only for the same person to be on the TV a couple of days later charged with murder. I usually think that they're guilty anyway, and 9 times out of 10 (a figure I pulled out of my arse, so there's no point arguing) they are!! In this particular case, it appears that I was wrong...
On a slightly different tack, am I the only person who thinks that OJ is not guilty??

not
Whether they truly believe it or not, you'll be hard pressed to find a jigaboo who'll say he's guilty. They value solidarity more than truth and justice.
But, if you truly believe it, you're probably in a fairly exclusive club.
As far as I know, Andy Rooney's reward still stands. $1 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of someone other than OJ Simpson. Never heard if anyone ever made a bid to collect, though it seems likely some knucklehead would try.

By "jigaboo", do you mean black? I've heard the term in reference to Australian Aborigines, and it seems to have the same flowing sound as many Aboriginal words and place names, so I assumed it was an Aussie term.
I remember coming home and the chase was live on TV in Canberra, where I was living at the time. Without being armed with any facts, and not really knowing much at all about OJ, something just didn't add up. The subsequent trial threw up all sorts of unanswered questions so I've happily sat on the fence ever since, though leaning toward OJ's side.
I'm certainly a knucklehead. I can't help Mr Rooney in his quest however...
