    The death of JonBenet Ramsey has been a mystery for so long. It is so weird that this little girl was found dead in the basement of their home and no one heard or saw a thing. Records say that JonBenet had a fractured skull, been molested and had been strangled with a chord. According to biography.com, the only evidence found was a ransom letter requesting $118,000 in which was written on some paper belonging to the Ramseys and the duct tape which had fibers from her mother’s clothing. When her body was found, the father should have not moved her. I do not understand why he would take her from the basement back upstairs after finding her; it just did not make any sense (biography.com).…

    He did take it to trial and sadly the verdict was that he was found guilty and was given a life sentence without the chance of parole. Another police officer took over the case and looked farther into the investigation. He learned March, 18, 2012 that the murder case against him would be dismissed. It goes to show you that the law Enforcement made a mistake, and they needed to look more into the suspects when interviewing them, get hard evidence, and possibly DNA. Even though that man wasn’t guilty he was still accused and charged. I’m sure when he goes places or tries to get a job people think twice that kind of slandered his name. The third case is a hall of famer, former NFL player who was a teammate for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders. He was arrested for physically abusing a woman he was dating at the time.

Due to this incident he was actually pulled from covering the 2010 Super bowl XLIV. The woman ended up dropping all the charges. Another case that I was reading about is the Haleigh Cummings story.
