I sadly admit that I still thought the parents killed their daughter.
I say sadly because I am horribly against the trend of press playing judge as the public plays executioner. More common than the Ramsey case, about 3 times a year, I'll read in the paper that someone local is accused of rape and then I'll read the press's opinion as to guilt. They then provide the person's name with the person's address. What do they expect to happen?
If a person is guilty, I'd like the legal system to deal with them. I do not want a newspaper, which leans more and more towards selling entertainment, to be a means of justice. Oops, got into the start of a tirade there, so I'll end my bit here.
