The fact the trial involved such a ridiculous piece of 'evidence' shows what a complete farce it was! Another fine mess created by Malcom Fletcher.
A more worthwhile exercise would have been to take jurors to WHF to see for themselves what the prosecution was alleging in respect of exiting a window and securing it from within.
That’s what Peter Sutcliffe said about his trial too:: “it was a complete farce!”
I think you’ll find that it would have been deemed far, far too dangerous to take 12 jurors inside WHF while a police officer fired aimlessly in the bedrooms, on the landing, staircase, and in the kitchen...
Would have only needed one bullet to ricochet faster than the speed of sound and shoot dead the judge or a juror...that would have looked good, wouldn’t it?
Not to mention all the damage they’d do to walls and furniture firing 25 bullets all over the house...
But I’m sure the ballistic experts explained to the 12 jurors when shooting in the range, that the sound would have been considerably less inside the house due to the soft furnishings, carpets, beds etc...😊
Re: Jeremy’s entrance & escape route — I believe the police had already proved to the jury how he broke into WHF, especially as Jeremy eventually admitted to the police how he’d broken in, albeit making out he’d done so weeks after the murder. Strange that he had to break into his own house, don’t you think? He hadn’t been charged with murder, so why would he have broken into his own property? Using a hacksaw? Then hiding it in overgrowth? Why not go to the family or workers and tell them he needed to get in? Sounds very strange...especially as undercover police had him under surveillance and saw he was in London when he claimed he’d broken into WHF...
And the court weren’t going to order a reconstruction and break another window when they had diagrams and were able to understand how he got in on the night he killed them. Likewise, when he climbed out the kitchen window and made it appear shut by banging it...it was clear to see by the jury without having to be shown a demonstration
