After the pig's breakfast of PR with the cupcakes, I thought this piece by Michael O'Brien was actually an appropriate and positive response to today's anniversary.
By Michael O'Brien
I met Jeremy in Long Lartin prison between 1989 -1996 and it was so obvious that he did not fit in to prison life. He stood out for me, and he seemed lost just like I once was when I first went to prison. I knew something was not right with his case and believed in his Innocence from the start. It was a gut feeling I had about him and Jeremy was different to the other prisoners. The case was the most important thing to him, and proving his innocence was the main thing on his mind just like it was with me. They say you can spot an innocent man a mile off and they stick out like a sore thumb—Jeremy was certainly in that category.
Wrongful convictions have a habit of leaving the innocent suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder and they may not even know they are suffering from it. I thought I was ok however experts soon found out that I was far from ok. Being in prison for a crime you didn’t commit leaves many scars and it can only be described like a roller coaster ride. One minute you are angry and you feel you can fight whatever obstacles are placed in your way, and the next you are in total despair. Depression seeps into your mind overwhelming you. The only thing I had on my mind 24 hours a day was to fight the injustice and I lived and breathed the case just like Jeremy is doing now.
I do not know whether I would have had the strength that Jeremy has got if I had still been in prison for almost 30 years like he has. However, one thing I do know is that I would have fought as hard as I could to obtain justice in the same way as Jeremy has done, and he has to continue fighting until he has been proved innocent because that is exactly what he is.
When I found out I was going to be released, I had a lot of anxiety not knowing what to expect in the outside world and this was after eleven years. Looking at it from Jeremy’s perspective it would be quite frightening with the way society and the outside world has changed in the 30 years he has been incarcerated. Fear of the unknown and not knowing how he will adjust back into society can also be a daunting thought. I felt this too, and also wondering what reception you are going to get from the general public. These are just some of the things, which will be going through Jeremys mind.
We must not lose sight of the fact due to the injustice that has been laid on Jeremy, he has suffered further by losing his family: Nevill, June, Sheila, Nicolas and Daniel. He has not been able to grieve for the loss of his family, as he should have been able to do.
My thoughts are with Jeremy’s family who lost their lives in tragic circumstances and also with Jeremy who not only lost his family but also his freedom, which has been stolen from him. I believe a miscarriage of Justice does not lay doormat, Jeremy’s case is going to rise up and haunt all those who have taken part in this injustice and the truth will come out.

God, yes, this is SO much better than the cupcake crap. Especially the bit where he says "I believe a miscarriage of Justice does not lay doormat."

A slip of the finger is easily done (like me skipping the second N in anniversary!)

One could be forgiven for thinking this article was more about a self indulgence and a sympathy vote for Michael O'Brien than it could ever be for Jeremy Bamber. A pretty awful attempt which has done absolutely nothing to engender any faith that a miscarriage of justice has been perpetrated.

True. But it was better than the cupcakes: I was worried whether they'd move onto The Voice for their inspiration.

Like most wrongdoing/incompetence it will usually OUT in the end. I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams that so many of the 'great and good' would either be charged with or accused of child sex abuse 8(8-))

The murder of newsagent Phillip Saunders for which O'Brien and two other likely lads served eleven years in prison has never been solved. All three were released on bail on 22 December 1998 and the convictions quashed a year later.
South Wales Police is reviewing the original investigation as part of an inquiry known as Operation Resolute.

I notice the blue forum has completely ignored the official site blog. Seems all might not be as it appears at Jeremy Bumber HQ. @)(++(*

The cops picked up O'Brien in the first place because he had been out with a pal joyriding in a stolen car. Had he ever apologised for his criminal conduct?

I have to confess in the past I was caught speeding: I hope that doesn't make it OK for me to be put away for 11 years for a murder I didn't commit?

Let's hope not otherwise they're going to have to build an awful lot more big houses.
