As I said previously, the prosecution case at trial was that JB entered his parents bedroom and opened fire and that NB's 4 upstairs gsw's were inflicted in the bedroom. The junior defence QC asked Malcolm Fletcher (ballistics from a HO run lab) whether any of the adults sustained any gsw's upstairs outside the bedroom and he replied 'No'. The pathological evidence showed after NB sustained the 2 facial gsw's, inflicted upstairs, he was incapable of purposeful speech thereafter. Therefore how could NB have made the call to JB when he arrived in the kitchen if he was incapable of purposeful speech and why was the hanset/mouthpiece free of blood when the facial wounds produced heavy blood loss internally and externally.
In this case MF was not asked and did not volunteer how he arrived at the above conclusion.
You can see from the JFK shooting it involves a multi-disciplinary team going to soc to reconstruct. In this case with the exception of Dr Vanezis and the prosecutor no one even visited WHF let alone carried out a reconstruction.
IMO all the physical evidence supports NB sustaining his facial gsw's on the landing stairs with the perp firing out of the bedroom onto the landing. NB then turned and when on the main staircase facing down towards the front door he sustained the two gsw's to his rear whilst the perp was behind ie higher up the staircase.
I don't expect most others here to share my views on this as most are wedded to JB guilty as charged, but what I struggle to understand is the denial that it is possible to carry out a professional reconstruction today.
Dr Vanezis did indeed visit WHF the next day, Holly
He went with DS Jones and other officers
Taff turned up and went berserk, purple with rage, shouting abuse and demanding they left.
But Dr Vanezis had by that time seen the soc and pictures of the rifle, and that’s when he knew Sheila could not possibly have been the murderer or killed herself.
In the event, forensics proved all what you’re trying to deny happened by attempting a reconstruction which will throw nothing up at all. Forensics established whose blood was where, how many shots were fired, and more crucially — that Sheila had none of the others blood on her, no gun residue, no sugar, blood or glass on her feet, none of her blood running downwards which it would have done after she’d been shot the FIRST time...so that’s all been proven.
The only reconstruction you could do would to see how Sheila supposedly beat Nevill to a pulp and shot herself twice.
But there’s no point — it’s been proven she couldn’t have.
