Kept secret. The District Attorney at the time refused to prosecute saying he did not have sufficient evidence. A judge ordered prosecutors to release the documents in response to a lawsuit brought by journalists. Jonbonets body was found strangled and beaten in the basement of her parents home Christmas Day 1996. Mike taibi joins us now. Mike, the question that is still out there is who killed jonbonet ramsay . And these documents dont prove that one way or the other . Reporter no, though dont give us and millions curious about this case for 17 years any closer to finding out what happened to jonbonet and who was responsibility, et cetera.

Now all we have to do is get somebody on that Supreme Court who is willing to tell us how the court is going to rule. Thats the florida Supreme Court. Well, obviously they couldnt get that.
