-Caveat Lector- New Boulder County grand jury unlikely to work on Ramsey case September 15, 1999 Web posted at: 1:41 p.m. EDT (1741 GMT) >From staff and wire reports BOULDER, Colorado (CNN) -- A new Boulder County grand jury will be seated September 29, without prequalifying to work on the JonBenet Ramsey case, according to the Boulder County District Attorney's office. The new panel will replace a jury that has been considering the Ramsey slaying and unrelated crimes for nearly 18 months. When that panel was seated, its members were questioned extensively about the 1996 slaying. "Unlike the 1998-1999 grand jury, these jurors will not ... be qualified to investigate the homicide of JonBenet Ramsey," said Suzanne Laurion, spokeswoman for District Attorney Alex Hunter . Asked if the new grand jury could work on the JonBenet case, Laurion said, "The possibility is there, but it is remote." Last week, 140 summonses were sent to prospective jurors. Boulder County Assistant District Attorney Phil Miller will be the prosecutor assigned to the 1999-2000 grand jury. Laurion said the appointment of a new grand jury was required by state statute and has nothing to do with the current grand jury investigation into the death of JonBenet Ramsey. The former "Little Miss Colorado" was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family's million-dollar home in Boulder, Colorado. The 6-year-old girl's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey -- who have since moved to Atlanta -- insist they had no part in the death, but Hunter has said they remain under an "umbrella of suspicion." Nearly $2 million has been spent in the investigation into the girl's death and no arrests have been made. The first grand jury's term started last September and will expire October 20. It has been extended once, and, by law, cannot be extended again. Producer Betty Anderson and The Associated Press contributed to this report. ======================= Robert F.
