. if this is such a big and important theory why hasn?t it formed the basis of previous appeals? Isn?t it the case that every time an appeal fails Bamber?s team have to come up with a new theory of why he couldn?t have done it? That?s how it seems to me?
It was actually JB and Yvonne Hartley who came up with the Aga theory, they realized that if you were to lie on your side in front of the Aga, leaning against it, then various parts could possibly cause burns similar to those found on Nevills back!
So, JB/CT hired Philip Boyce to conduct an experiment to prove this! And sure enough, three marks could be produced on pig skin which were similar in size, shape, and spacing to Nevills burns.
But no, this evidence could not be used before because it is only in recent years that the source of the burns was 'discovered' shall we say.
So the Aga theory really is 'new evidence', which was unavailable at the time of previous appeals, Vertigo!
