Goatboy reference your last sentance why would the Bamber case have a place on this forum if you do not want to discuss if Bamber is innocent or guilty.
If everyone on here believes Bamber is guilty and will never be released why is the case still on here?
A very good point Jackie. Let me explain. When I was new to the case I used to Google the case a lot and all I tended to find was the official Bamber website or the blue forum. One day I discovered this site and found it to be an oasis of reason in a desert of crazy speculation. Well, it was the forum that proceeded this one, that forum got closed down for some reason. I wonder who was behind that?
The point is, I was very glad there was a site dedicated to debunking the crazy theories (and let's be honest, most of them are, from Sheila's shower to the involvement of the MI6, to Freemasonry, to the Drugs Gang, I could go on and on here) propounded elsewhere, that's why I'm involved with this forum. The name of the site used to be "Miscarriages of Justice". Let's be clear, we all know MOJ's occur so if members of the forum felt that the convictions of Bamber and Hall for example were unsafe we would have no problems at all understanding the concept and formulating arguments as to why we felt this way. It just so happens that all the evidence does clearly suggest Bamber's guilt and there is no reason to think otherwise. It seems the Bamber supporters are ignoring the bigger picture and just are desperately looking for reasons why he is innocent because they want him to be for some reason. Personally if evidence of his innocence came to light I would be delighted because it would be a relief to know that no one could be as malevolent as Bamber would have to have been to commit the murders. But if it was going to come to light it would have happened within the first 28 years.
A lot of people will come across the blue forum and if they discover this one too by Googling the case that is a good thing in my opinion. However, the blue forum is only observed by a tiny minority of crackpots, whereas national newspapers like the Sunday Mirror and the Guardian (Eric Allison, a former jailbird himself seems to be the main journalist behind Bamber here) giving oxygen of publicity to theories of Bamber's innocence are far more damaging than the blue forum in my opinion.
