JBR: Judge Judy hints Burke did it?
Welldunne
last night, implied that Burke bashed JonBenet, in her honor's opinion. Her
remark was oblique -- something along the lines of: I am not surprised because
I know how far mothers will go to protect their children. . . .

****FWIW, it sounds like that's what she thinks, but she could also be
supporting the Patsy-hit-JBR-by-accident-while-John-was-molesting theory.
Here's the excerpt from the LKL transcript:
KING: Does the JonBenet Ramsey matter baffle you?
SHEINDLIN: No.
KING: Does not baffle you that we, apparently, have an unsolved murder? Over
two years?
SHEINDLIN: There are a lot of unsolved murders over a two-year period. I don't
know if -- I really don't know enough, you know, as a judge you're supposed to
not...
KING: But you know about child abuse, and this was an -- ultimately, an abused
child.
SHEINDLIN: I know about child abuse, and I know about parents protecting their
children, and I know about what mothers will do in order to protect their
children. I think that if the story is ever told about the death of that child,
I think -- and this is just sheer fantasy on my part, which I am absolutely not
going to share with you, Larry -- that I think that the country will be very --
might be very surprised.
I certainly never got the sense that this was a -- based upon what I've read --
I've read most of the stuff that's come out -- that this was an intruder, a
strange intruder. Whatever I think you're going to find, you're going to find
something within that household, and it may be different from the parents.
KING: Is the beauty pageant thing a bother to you as a mother?
SHEINDLIN: Yes, and I even talk about that in the book, beauty pageants for
young children, I don't believe in them. I think that they're destructive. I
think that it says to young girls who are in beauty pageants, You're only worth
is related to the way you look, and how much appeal you have to women and men.
That's -- that is your worth, and it says to the little girls who are not in
beauty pageants, You are worth less, not "worthless" but "worth less" because
you don't have that physical acumen.

**I think she was clearly hinting that it was Burke.

I always felt Judge Judy was a fount of sensible opinions.
