Expendable For A Cause.

“This blog is so disrespectful to the victims and their families” is a common and intellectually deficient ‘rebuttal’ to any claims that Ramirez might not have been responsible for the Night Stalker crimes.

Tell us how saying, “You might have got the wrong guy here” is disrespectful to victims? We base our work off the appeals written by Ramirez’s lawyers as well as media reports and our own theories. Is having a defence team disrespectful to victims? If your answer is yes, you do not believe in justice. You ought to live in a dictatorship.

Do you know what is disrespectful? Detectives lazily pinning unrelated rapes and murders on one mentally impaired, poor, Mexican petty criminal, who was utterly unable to participate in his own defence just to ‘clear the books’.

It is disrespectful for police to tell the public (via a complicit media) that every victim saw the same assailant when it was untrue. It misled innocent people and caused unnecessary hysteria. It undermined what victims had said in police reports (and somehow, the victims went along with it, as vulnerable people are easier to manipulate and confuse).

The real murderers might still be out there. The families and survivors might not have received justice, robbing them of closure.

We are sometimes asked, “Well, if Richard didn’t do it, who did?!” We wish we knew. You should ask the Los Angeles and San Francisco police and District Attorneys who utterly failed to prosecute or pursue other potential suspects. The legal petitions do however name some people who should have been investigated. All we can present are the reasons he probably had nothing to do with the crimes. Criminal investigations are not our job.

Another bad argument aimed at us is the accusation we treat the habeas corpus as gospel. Well, it is just as easy for us to accuse them of worshipping the prosecution and the flawed official narrative. “Authority can do no wrong.” The writ is simply the defence Richard Ramirez should have had all those years ago and was not given. Both sides should be heard because that is how trials work. Again, if you disagree with the need for criminal defence, just hope you aren’t wrongly accused of a crime and too poor for a fancy lawyer.
