Parents of JonBenet Ramsey, newspaper settle lawsuit

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - A lawsuit filed against the New York Post by the parents of JonBenet Ramsey has been settled, the two sides said Wednesday, but the terms were not made public. <br> <br> ``The action has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties,&#39;&#39; Post spokeswoman Suzi Halpin said. She said the agreement with the Ramseys precluded any other comment. <br> <br> The Ramseys&#39; attorney, Lin Wood, confirmed a settlement but would not disclose the terms. He said the agreement had been reached a couple of months ago, but was finalized in the past few days. <br> <br> John and Patsy Ramsey filed suit against the paper in May 2000, alleging the newspaper libeled their son Burke by portraying him as the prime suspect in his sister&#39;s murder. The boy was 9 at the time of the killing. <br> <br> The suit sought $4 million from the Post. At the time, the paper said the case was frivolous. <br> <br> JonBenet, 6, was found beaten and strangled Dec. 26, 1996, in the basement of the family home in Boulder, Colo. The Ramseys later moved to Atlanta, and the killing remains under investigation.
