“I will be filing a lawsuit on behalf of Burke Ramsey,” L. Lin Wood, the Ramsey family’s attorney, told Reuters.
A lawyer for JonBenet Ramsey’s family is planning to sue CBS over claims made in the recent documentary about the 1996 murder case.
In CBS’ two-part special The Case Of: JonBenet Ramsey, investigators theorized that the 6-year-old pageant queen was killed by her then 9-year-old brother Burke when he struck her on the head with a heavy object.
In response to Wood’s proposed lawsuit, the network states that “CBS stands by the broadcast and will do so in court.”
