apple. that is not true to portions of the boulder police report ares that i looked at. and in the evaluation of the child and confidential interview that burke went through with human services. this is upon mandatory in every state and their conclusion with him from the interview, it is clear that burke was not a witness to it jonbenet s death. and finally in, right after the case, there were a lot of rumors about burke on entertainment radio and talk shows, and enough so that boulder police chief then and the boulder district attorney said burke was not a suspect. so that s the type of information that i have that points away from burke. i don t have any that points to him. it doesn t mean that there is any. but i don t have it. he was asked about it
investigations and he was there from 2004 to 2006. and according to the documentation, he has no homicide experience. i dealt with him briefly when he was in boulder because the case was not ongoing, still active but not ongoing. and he had presented to boilered district attorney and investigator and the da, a presentation that said that burke had killed his sister and then he wrote a book about it. he left the da s office and wrote a book about it. i know the lawsuit alleges that the format for the documentary was based on his book. well, the police certainly bungled much of that investigation and this documentary didn t help public interesting of the case.
i am nervous. i don t know burke well and i met him again in 2011 and that s all i know about the smile. from the lawsuit, the charge from lin wood, the attorney who is representing burke. he said cbs perpetrated a fraud on the public instead of a documentary baseded by a new team of experts, the case of jonbenet ramsey was a fictional crime show. one of the expertses they relied on is james kholer. what can you tell us about james kholer? he was not among the original investigators on the case. the case started in 1996. in 2004, he was hired by the boulder district attorney s office to be the point person on
case, but within the next few days, the d.a. s office who had approved the arrest warrant for mr. smika, came back to us and said that they felt there was not enough evidence. as a result, they wouldn t be filing the murder charges against mr. smika. bail was set and he was released. in order to help further the investigation, the boulder district attorney s office convened a grand jury into the murder of sid wells. at that time, thayne smika is essentially out living in society. at the end of a two-year grand jury run, no indictment was issued by the grand jury. when we found out they had not indicted him, you know, we couldn t believe it. shock. absolute, complete mystification. grief turned into anger that
