Might seem an obvious question but how do you know these documents are valid?

I know - they are

Thanks. I’ve based pretty much my entire decision on his guilt on these statement docs combined with circumstantial evidence. I believe when you strip everything down you can tell very clearly that he is lying through his teeth

‘Evidence Gathering’

“We accept, of course, the principle that evidence should be properly obtained in accordance with rules.
However, if the search for the truth is to be paramount, the determining factor in admissibility should be the enlightening effect which the evidence has on that search, rather than on a detailed scrutiny intended to identify some minor procedural irregularity, thereby preventing the evidence from being put to the court.
We would like to see legislative change which would enable all relevant and potentially enlightening evidence to be put before the court for the court to determine its value and admissibility.

Well, I used to think he was innocent, not knowing much about the case. The more I read, the more it was obvious that the case for innocence was just a house of cards. I wrote to him for about three years and found him to be VERY selective in what he answered, if he didn't like the question, he simply didn't answer. I have no doubts now that he's guilty.

Sorry, do you mean the statement docs which are only available on Mike Tesko's site ?

The ones on this site. There’s a case file section with statements from Bamber, Mugford, McDonald etc

I see, yes it fast becomes a stretch of credulity at every turn to believe anyone other than Jeremy could have done it, join the dots. Telling how nobody goes back to believing Sheila was responsible once they are familiar with all the available evidence. Always one way traffic.
