ELI5: If CBS really does have new info/suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey case, why are they not required to turn it over to law enforcement?
gpt
Journalists are allowed some privilege when it comes to information and disclosing it or testifying about it, and by many avenues. Of course there is the first amendment right to a free press, but in addition, there is statutory protections, common law protections, and protections under many state constitutions. Mind you, these protections only apply to *information*. Any physical evidence would have to be turned over. 

And CBS doesn't have shit. It's a marketing ploy. It's the 20th anniversary of her death and a number of stations/networks are claiming to have new information. None of it is really new. They're taking interviews with people positing their "new" hypotheses, nothing more.
