You should have heard his father's comments.....like I said......I am worried this guy is a glory hound.

No way to tell--if he enters a guilty plea there would only be a sentencing phase (maybe bench(short), maybe jury(long)---don't know about colorado. otoh, if this guy has reached the end of his rope, has no money and nothing to lose and is just doing this as his next 'gig', he may go back to colorado, withdraw his confession, enter not guilty and it could last for ever (although he will likely have appointed attorneys so not like peterson or oj unless Gerry Spence appears pro bono).

update: two people in alabama have placed him there during the time of the murder.

Perhaps he was out of money in thailand and wanted a free ride home, once he gets here there is no evidence and he gets marked a nutcase and released.:fork_off:

Yea, whats ONE child murdered when you can see hundreds in Lebanon

See my previous similar comment.....jackass

I didn't read through all the replies. I had my own since I saw his reply towards the top.

I've a feeling the case is gonna be a bit screwy. He admits guilt for being responsible for the girl's death, but 2 people have an alibi that he was in a different state during the time?

Something led the investigation to him we know more about that at 6. In any event the the chicken$hit has a long sex offender record so if he is killed by accident its not much of a loss.

I hope for Mr. Ramsey's sake, this guy is for real and not just some nut job wanting fame.

Agreed 100%. One of the rare exceptions where I don't think there is a punishment sufficient to fit the crime and cannot objectively represent a client so I don't do it.

I wasn't commenting on your post, I was just calling you a jackass based on a couple of previous threads. Totally in jest. Sorry, it has been a long day

If there is one crime our legal system is not set up to deal with, it's child molestation. I once spent two horrifying days in court watching one of the best defense attorneys in New England grill a 21-year-old about his accusation that he was repeatedly molested when he was 13-15 (this case took several years to get to trial).

This poor kid had an unimaginably bad childhood (molesters don't pick the well-adjusted ones) and the attorney grilled him on every detail in an effort to show inconsistencies in his story.

The accused was guilty as sin IMO but got off because they couldn't prove that certain acts had occurred at certain places at certain times.

During the trial at least one woman came up to me and said the guy had molested her son as well, but she chose not to go to the cops because she thought it would be even more traumatizing. She was right!

And as we all know, even if they go to jail they will probably do it again when they get out.

Right on 300. I am a zealous advocate for innocent until proven guilty and know people get falsley accused (often), but, I will admit I just don't have the stomach for it.
