JonBenet Ramsey's Dad Not Pervy Killer Say Police

I was in high school when our generation's Lindbergh baby transpired; twelve years later prosecutors offered this apology: "Remember when we like, blamed you for your kid's murder and made you out as a kid-toucher and stuff? And like, it went on for a decade and your life was ruined, first by losing your kid but second by, um, us? ABOUT THAT. Uh, sorry?"

Officially:

"To the extent that we may have contributed in any way to the public perception that you might have been involved in this crime, I am deeply sorry. No innocent person should have to endure such an extensive trial in the court of public opinion."

(So stated Mary Lacy, the Boulder County DA.)

The revelation comes courtesy of some fabulous new DNA test which can identify DNA from a mere touch. The results indicate the presence of an outsider. No, not these guys. Ponyboy did not break into the Ramsey's house on Christmas.

The lab analyzing the evidence discovered skin cells on an area of the girl's long underwear where a perpetrator would grasp to remove the clothing.

In true famewhore fashion, last night Greta Van Susteren interviewed John Mark Karr, the crazy kookwad who claimed to have killed JonBenet only to be released when authorities discovered he was lying his balls off.

I can't imaging the living hell this has been for her father and the rest of the family.

But can anyone else believe that it's been almost 12 years... and she'd be nearly 18 at this point?

I am among the guilty who thought the parents did it. More specifically, I thought the mom did, because the media kept saying that a handwriting analysis showed that her writing looked awfully similar to the writing on the note that was left. And they said the broken window in the basement was broken from the inside out - not exactly how it would be done for a break-in. So - Patsy, wherever you are - I am sincerely sorry.

Not to be a naysayer, but I'd love to know what exactly the "new DNA" was. Until they find a killer, I don't buy it.

But then again, I work in child abuse, so I'm totally jaded.
