JonBenét Ramsey’s Father Reveals Why ‘Compelling’ Suspect Was ‘Dropped’

If Radar John recently reported how he came to the point of being able to forgive the man who killed his daughter despite having a “desire for revenge.”

“There was so much anger. And of course I knew that wasn’t right, but that’s how I felt,” he revealed about how he felt when JonBenét first died.

After wondering how to “handle forgiveness,” he said, “They’re supposed to forgive people through the Bible. I can’t forgive him, that’s ridiculous. And then, after thinking about it for a few years, I came to the point: OK, I’m not the victim here. JonBenét is the victim.”

Ultimately, he came to realize that “forgiveness is actually a gift you can give yourself to let go of that anger and desire for revenge.”

“And that doesn’t mean you don’t want justice, absolute justice. But when you forgive, it’s a gift to give yourself,” he added.
