Ammunition reloading issues and inconsistencies
« on: March 23, 2014, 12:49:24 AM »
Jeremy's claim is that his sister went crazy.  Thus is was important to him to claim she didn't plan anything but rather took action under the heat of the moment. He insisted that he left the gun and a box of ammunition out. Thus she had no need to go searching for amminution to load in the rifle or to reload it. It was right there for her according to him.

The ammunition was in the same place he claimed he left it.  So the suggestion is that she ran up and down to reload. Why wouldn't she take the box upstairs instead of running up and down?  It makes no sense. Worse yet he claimed the box was either full or close to full. It was a 50 round box and 25 were used during the murders so only 25 should have remained but 30 remained in the box.  Police asked how this was possible but he had no explanation. Obviously he did not think of everything like he thought he had.  This was a rather glaring botch.

The fact of the matter is that the suppressor was placed in the same box as an ammunition carrier.  It appears the killer was carrying ammunition around in the carrier and when done with the killings put the suppressor and carrier in this box in the cupboard. The ammo box in the kitchen probably was just placed there later as a red herring. The ammo used for the murders didn't come from this box and he never bothered to count the rounds in it to try to make the number match what would be present if the 25 rounds came from this box.

Some other inconsistencies were where he supposedly left the gun and magazine and whether it was fully loaded.

He also changed his story about the suppressor and scope repeatedly.  He lied about the gun not fitting in the cuboard with the suppressor and scope attached.  This was one of the red flags that made his cousins suspicious. Another wa she lied about Sheila going shooting with his cousin and Nevill. His cousin knew this didn't happen when he learned of the claim. Moreover, he at first claimed he didn't use the gun between the time his cousin used it and when he took it out to shoot rabbits hours before the murders.  His cousin though stated the gun had the suppressor and scope attached when he removed it from the closet and when he put it back. He said tha tis how it was usually stored. To try to refute his cousin's claims, jeremy changed his sotry and claimed he used the gun repeatedly the week before the murders. He claimed sometimes the scope and suppressor were attached othertimes they were not.

It is funny because his supporters say he has been entirely consistent but that is not true.

One of the things I find most amusing though concerns the rabbit claim.  From the kitchen he supposedly saw 2 rabbits by the barn. Given the time of day (it was dark out already) one has to seriously question how he could see the rabbits and how he could expect to shoot them in the dark.  At any rate rabbits move in a flash when they hear the crack of a rifle which is why a suppressor is important. Someone who knows what they are doing would be sure to attach the suppressor if it were not already attached. Another rifle had the suppressor attached so why not select that one?  At any rate it only takes a minute to attach a suppressor the scope is what takes a while to play around with. You would want a scope anyway, the iron sights on the rifle were not very good.

The more you dig the worse it gets for Jeremy.

As you said in the other thread, many criminals get caught because they are stupid and don't plan perfectly.

All criminals get caught because of inept planning.  Not all criminals who are inept get caught though.  Some luck out for a variety of reasons. But for his cousins and a few others Jeremy would have been among those who lucked out.  On the other hand at times dumb luck sinks them as well such as instances where a murderer is pulled over and given a traffic ticket and this ruins an alibi they had. It cuts both ways.
