The Ramsey family have decided to take legal action against CBS after the airing of the network’s documentary, “The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey” depicted the family in a negative light.
“I will be filing a lawsuit on behalf of Burke Ramsey,”attorney L. Lin Wood said in an interview with Reuters on Sept. 21. “CBS' false and unprofessional attacks on this young man are disgusting and revolting.”
The finale of the two-part, four-hour documentary that aired on Sept. 19, implicated Burke Ramsey as the killer of his sister and child beauty queen JonBenet. JonBenet was found brutally beaten and strangled in the family’s home two decades ago. Investigators concluded that then-9-year-old Burke accidentally killed his sister after the two sparred over pineapples.
