COPS BLAMED FOR BOTCHING JONBENET EVIDENCE

Lawyer calls handling of DNA 'incompetent'

- 

The Boulder Police Department retrieved evidence from the Ramsey home in December 1996 as part of their investigation

TRAGIC pageant princess JonBenét Ramsey's unsolved murder investigation was botched by Boulder authorities who mishandled crucial DNA evidence, alleges a Colorado lawyer working an unrelated homicide case.

Defense attorney Adam Frank — who represents Michael Clark, a suspect in the 1994 murder of Marty Grisham in the same city where JonBenét was slain nearly two years later — is seeking to review Boulder Police Department files regarding the first 48 hours of the Ramsey probe.

John Ramsey believes police bungled the probe into his daughter's murder

He maintains the records could prove that cops at the time were “woefully incompetent,” according to court documents.
