Ramseys file suit versus Fox News
The parents of murdered 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey have filed a lawsuit against the Fox News network seeking $16 million in damages for a 2002 broadcast they say defamed them, their lawyer said Wednesday.
In the suit, filed on Tuesday in federal court in Atlanta, the Ramseys objected to a report aired last year by the channel around the sixth anniversary of her death. The suit charges that a Fox reporter’s statement saying “there has never been any evidence to link an intruder to JonBenet’s brutal murder” was false and defamed the Ramseys.
Fox News had no immediate comment on the lawsuit.
