Logic Analysis of a Deduction by 'Sherlock Holmes'

In this article, we will be applying the Science of Reasoning to analyze a deduction by “Sherlock Holmes” from the BBC-TV series “Sherlock,” episode “A Scandal in Belgravia.”

In the video, we will watch “Sherlock Holmes” lay out the deduction to foil the plot of villainess “Irene Adler.”

Please see the video.[1]

As we join the scene, “Sherlock” is thinking about what is the 4-digit password to the cellular telephone of "Irene Adler." Thinking about a solution to a problem is in canon with the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Analysis Logic notation:

P: = Premise C: = Conclusion

P1: Increased heart rate. P2: Dilated pupils. C: Therefore, sentiment.

Correlation The wall safe combination -> her measurements. The cellular telephone -> her heart.

P1: “Sherlock” the object of the sentiment of "Irene Adler." P2: The screen reads "I AM _ _ _ _ LOCKED” in all capital letters. C: Therefore, S, H, E, and R the 4-digit password.

Fun Foiling the plot of villainess “Irene Adler” by entering the correct password made for an exciting and dramatic scene from the episode. In my view, "Sherlock" was using abductive reasoning.

“Sherlock Holmes” makes what he calls Deductions with keen observation, knowledge, and experience.

I think about this every day

[truecrimz]

Do you believe the JonBenet murder was an inside or outside job? IDI?

Trigger warning: child death

* “It probably won’t be the real killer(s)” as in they just have to close the case, but they probably end up catching the wrong person(s)

❝ JonBenét Patricia Ramsey was an American child beauty queen who was killed at age six in her family's home on the night of December 25, 1996. Her body was found in the house's basement about seven hours after she had been reported missing. She had sustained a broken skull, and a garrote was tied around her neck. The autopsy report stated that JonBenét's official cause of death was "asphyxia by strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma". Her death was ruled a homicide.

The Boulder police initially suspected that a long handwritten ransom note that was reportedly found in the home had been written by her mother, Patsy, and that the note and the appearance of JonBenét's body had been staged by Patsy and her husband, John, to cover up the killing.

In 1999, the police and district attorney (DA) both said that JonBenét's brother Burke, who was nine years old at the time of her death, was not a suspect.

In 2002, the DA's successor took over the investigation from the police and primarily pursued the theory that an intruder had committed the killing.

In 2003, trace DNA taken from JonBenét's clothes (her underwear) was found to belong to an unknown male; each family member's DNA had been excluded from this match.

The DA sent the Ramseys a letter of apology in 2008, declaring the family was "completely cleared" by the DNA results.

Others, including former Boulder police chief Mark Beckner, disagreed with exonerating the Ramseys, characterizing the DNA as a small piece of evidence that was not proven to have any connection to the crime.

In 2009, the Boulder police took the case back from the DA and reopened the investigation.

The crime is still considered a cold case and remains an open investigation with the Boulder Police Department. ❞ — via: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_JonBenét_Ramsey

I watched the documentary on the JonBenet Ramsey case on Netflix and 2 things were clarified for me: 1. Journalistic integrity in the media has been on a downward spiral for decades. And 2. Too big a portion of law enforcement cannot be trusted to do their job and do it well.

Unknown Male DNA in Context: The JonBenet Ramsey Case

In this article, we are exploring the question asked by a television reporter, “So what do we know about the person suspected of killing JonBenet Ramsey? The D.A. says the genetic profile from the DNA belongs to a male."[1]

The available pages of the Bode Technology Group reports stated an unknown male 1 profile. More than one Individual, including the victim. Major and minor contributors. At least one male contributor.[2]

The Answer to the Article Question Raw DNA data, genetic profiles, an electropherogram and other DNA charts do not indicate who the contributors were in the context of the case. A principal, accomplice, accessory, and/or innocent secondary transference by one or more individuals, including JonBenet.

Photograph of an electropherogram. Source: Internet. Not from the JonBenet case.

More investigation is needed to reach the conclusion that the unknown male 1 profile contributor(s) and at least one male contributor are of an assailant. The contributors need to be identified or matched. Once identified or matched, how was their genetic material transferred to the two clothing items? What are their connections to the Ramseys?

Further Research Former F.B.I. Criminal Profiler Pat Brown discusses the Ramsey DNA and cites two parts of one of my articles on the JonBenet case.[3]

An episode of “48 Hours” shows the importance of a full, thorough and complete analysis of how genetic material was transferred when there are two identified or matched contributors of DNA in a case.[4]

Announcement of the birth of JonBenet Ramsey. John Ramsey shared this with Paula Woodward for her book “We have your daughter.”

[madlori]

There's a new JonBenet Ramsey documentary on Netflix. I was hesitant to watch it until I knew if it was another "the parents did it" docu - it's not.

I'm still agog that in the year of our lord 2024 people still assume the parents did it.

hmmm should I write an infodump post about this

answer unclear, ask again later.

Watching the JonBenet Ramsey doc on Netflix, and no matter what theory you have, you have to admit that it’s just a textbook example of police misconduct

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

True Crime can be interesting sometimes but other times you have a whole swath of people who I can only assume have negative brain cells who think, because of 1 documentary and the flimsiest evidence imaginable, that a 9-year-old with no actual documented history of deviant behavior before nor since, fashioned a complex garrotte, sexually assaulted his sister, and then bashed her over the head killing her, all because she allegedly ate a bit of his snack.

Seriously if you think Burke killed Jonbenét Ramsey you're a fucking idiot and you need to learn like, 14-year-old levels of critical thinking. Even me at my little age of 16 when that documentary came out was like ".... This seems like an incredible stretch and like this documentary has a disingenuous agenda." If whole ass adults can't reckon that out, it's no mystery to me why our society is failing sideways.

"tHe PiNeApPlE" so these siblings shared a snack that the parents didn't mention or weren't aware of. What ground-breaking evidence. "BuT tHe GoLf ClUb" you mean the hearsay that one family friend said that Burke had thwacked his sister with a golf club at one point as young kids? That was never documented in any police or medical records? You're so right, what incontrovertible proof.

Yeah. That seems like sufficient evidence to try and destroy a family and a person's life over. It's not like the Ramseys were documented to have given out dozens of keys to their home at parties, or that putting a little girl in hypersexualized pageants would maybe attract stalkers and child abusers who would seek to harm her. It's not like the DNA didn't match Burke, or anyone in the household, for that matter. It's not like the father hasn't been consistently trying to get the DNA re-tested which, if he was protecting his son, would be extremely counter-intuitive.

Grow a fucking brain.

“JonBenet was a loving, beautiful little girl with so much life in her and with so much to offer to the world. She would have made a beautiful beauty queen, a wonderful mother and loving wife, a great career lady, an attorney, a doctor, an accountant, and so it goes. What would she been or would have become?” - Pamela Archuleta, a family friend.
