Trivia
In December 2016, Burke Ramsey, JonBenét's older brother, filed a $750 million defamation lawsuit against CBS for falsely conveying the idea that he was the one responsible for killing his sister in this documentary. The lawsuit was later settled privately, with the statement that both sides have reached "an amicable resolution of their differences."

It's Entertaining But Not Definitive

The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey (2016)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

This television special was shown over a two night period and it's build-up was that the infamous murder of JonBenet Ramsey would be solved twenty-years after it happened.

THE CASE OF: JONBENET RAMSEY is certainly an entertaining special as we get all sorts of experts coming together to take a fresh look at the evidence and try to piece together what happened. We also get a few new interviews including the 911 dispatcher as well as a friend of the Ramsey's.

This series is certainly worth watching but at the same time I wouldn't get too worked up by the hype. After the success of the Steve Avery Netflix special and the various O.J. Simpson specials it was clear CBS was trying to hit the iron while it was still hot. For the most part they have delivered an entertaining series but at the same time I wouldn't say this is the definitive word on the subject and especially since a lot of the original evidence wasn't examined.

The series is also quite obvious in how they come up with the guilty party. I won't ruin the outcome but it'll be interesting to see how any future lawsuits work out.
