Burke Ramsey’s attorney, L. Lin Wood, has promised that a lawsuit would be filed against CBS for the accusations made on the program, The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey. Allegedly, Dr. Werner Spitz also revealed his thoughts on Burke Ramsey’s guilt during an interview with the CBS Detroit affiliate.
The Denver Fox affiliate revealed that Dr. Werner Spitz, a forensic pathologist, made accusations against Burke Ramsey, who was 9-years-old at the time of the crime. The lawsuit, filed today by Ramsey family attorney L. Lin Wood, accuses Dr. Spitz of making “unsupported, false and sensational statements and accusations.”
“[Spitz] explicitly and falsely stated that Burke Ramsey killed his sister.”
The lawsuit documents the statements allegedly made by Dr. Werner Spitz that have been deemed damaging and unfounded.
“If you really, really use your free time to think about this case, you cannot come to a different conclusion.It’s the boy who didn’t, whether he was jealous, or mentally unfit or something. I don’t know the why, I’m not a psychiatrist, but what I am sure about is what I know about him, that is what happened here. And the parents changed the scene to make it look like something it wasn’t.”
In an interview following the series on CBS, Dr. Werner Spitz clearly suggested that JonBenet Ramsey was murdered by her brother, Burke Ramsey.
“Spitz claims Burke, age 9 at the time of his sister’s death, bludgeoned her to death,” the lawsuit states. “[He] made this accusation without ever examining JonBenet’s body, without viewing the crime scene, and without consulting with the pathologist who performed the autopsy.”
Business Insider said that “CBS stands by the broadcast and will do so in court.”
L.Lin Wood expressed that Dr. Werner Spitz made the statements for his own self-promotion.
“Spitz is a publicity seeker with a history of interjecting himself in high profile cases in an effort to make money, exaggerate his resume and claim a level of expertise he does not possess or deserve.”
