8) The suppressor had Sheila's blood type inside. This means the suppressor was used to shoot her. She would not have been able to reach the trigger to shoot herself with the suppressor attached nor after she was dead could she remove the suppressor and place it in the closet. That proves she can't have killed herself. The pathologist testified that her fatal wound was of a nature it would almost certainly produce back spatter. There was none in the rifle but was in the suppressor so obviously it had been used to deliver that fatal shot.
Contrary to the claims of Tesko and his lemmings, there were not merely blood chips inside that could have been planted or accidentally transferred. The blood actually soaked onto the baffles and dried. The prosecution removed all visible chips and yet the defense found Sheila’s blood type on the first 8 baffles. Microscopic traces remained and they were substantial enough to be tested successfully by the defense. This proves the blood was deposited while wet and was sprayed there thus consistent with back spatter. It wasn't dripped it was a stream of blood that had exhibited a spray pattern. There is no way for blood to accidentally spray inside the only way for it to get inside in the manner observed by the defense would be if someone looked up Sheila's blood type, secured wet blood and found a device such as an atomizer that would spray the blood inside. Not spray it in every direction like perfume though something with more of a stream though with enough spray to hit 8 baffles instead of stopping at 1 or 2. Perhaps there are sprayers that can mimic such but what is the chance that someone actually went through the effort and figured out how to do it? Someone planting blood would probably do what Tesko suggested- taking dry blood and tossing it inside or maybe taking a dropper and making some drip inside. Is there any evidence someone actually planted it by spraying it inside? No, none. Is there a reasonable likelihood that all the other evidence such as Nevill being unable to speak and all Jeremy's lies were flukes and that someone actually planted the blood? Not in my eyes. Being a reasonable, logical person I don't buy that someone involved in the case knew exactly how to plant the blood with a spray tool so no one would be able to prove it had been planted. Nor does Tesko apparently believe such so he distorts and pretends that all that was found inside was floating paint chips.
9) In addition the paint on the suppressor had to be planted for him to be innocent. Some had to take the suppressor, scrape it against the mantle and hope that police would be able to figure out that is where the paint came from and hope they would be able to prove the paint matched conclusively.
10) Jeremy's claims about leaving the rifle out make no sense either. According to witnesses he didn’t use the rifle much if ever, he didn’t like to kill animals or hunt. He seemed to agree with this initially. He said he had not used it the week before the murders. He changed his story though once the last living person known to have used it stated the gun was put away with the suppressor still on it and that is also how he found it in the closet and that is the usual way it is stored. (Recall Jeremy also lied about it not fitting in the closet with the suppressor on) To try to refute the claim Jeremy changed his story and said he used it multiple times the week prior to the murders and that sometimes it had the suppressor attached when he took it from the closet and other times it didn’t. He claimed it was used with and without the suppressor. His claims make no sense though. It makes no sense to remove the sights and suppressor and use the gun to shoot animals without such accessories. Thus his first story and that of his cousin seem to be the truth while his revisionist accounts are lies that make no sense. He made up a tale of seeing rabbits while it was dark out and attempting to shoot them without the suppressor though they react fast to the sound of a shot and you would want to use the suppressor. It was supposedly after dinner as they sat in the kitchen that he supposedly saw them not as he walked from the fields to eat like Tesko suggests. Tesko makes up things instead of working with the evidence at hand. Never did Jeremy suggest he saw the rabbits while walking from the field he clearly stated he saw then from the kitchen. Why did he make up this tale about getting the gun out and leaving it and the ammunition out? Well he wanted everyone to believe that Sheila went crazy and the weapon just happened to be in front of her as she went crazy. His frame was not that she preplanned things but that she went crazy. So in his mind she would be unlikely to go seek out the gun so he made up the tale of it being left under her nose. In support of his frame after the murders he took a box of ammo and left it in the kitchen. He claimed he placed this box there along with the weapon and that the box was still where he left it. He said this is the ammo she used because it had been full or only missing a couple of rounds but now was only half full. He thus suggested she ran back to the kitchen to keep reloading. Why? Because Sheila had no pockets to carry extra ammo. If she had moved the box she would not have placed it back in the same spot later so obviously she supposedly didn’t move it. He didn’t bother to count the rounds. There were 30 in the box so only 20 missing. Even if the box had been full there should only be 25 rounds left. The killer can’t have just used this box but had to get at least some ammo from the ammo carrier in the closet. Why would the killer use 20 rounds from the box in the kitchen and take 5 rounds from the ammo carrier in the closet? That makes no sense. If the killer saw the ammo carrier it would be worn and the killer would then not need to keep running to the kitchen to reload. Taking 5 rounds only from it instead of wearing the bandolier makes no sense at all. The killer obviously used the ammo carrier and suppressor then put both side by side in a box in the closet after the murders. The tale about the rabbits was to pretend the gun and ammo had been left out when it had not been and also to pretend the gun didn’t have the suppressor attached during the murders. The only reason to need a cover story is because Jeremy was guilty. Only a guilty person needs to frame someone to avoid liability.
On top of all Jeremy’s lies and the other evidence pointing to his guilt, there is a complete lack of evidence that Sheila fired a weapon, knew how to load and fire he murder weapon, or would have done so.
It always makes me laugh that Jeremy’s supporters claim there is no evidence against him and yet claim there is evidence against Sheila. What evidence is there against Sheila? She had no GSR on her hands or clothes. No one had seen her ever handle let alone fire a weapon. The only person to claim she fired a weapon was Jeremy and he claimed it was when she was a child, even he said she hadn’t done so as an adult. (Thus he lied when he told police waiting outside WHF hat she fired all the weapons in the house and was proficient with them) The killer would have wounds of some sort from the rifle stock breaking as the killer was wielding it and would have some kind of abrasions from delivering blows that broke Nevill’s nose. The killer would likely have Nevill’s blood from beating Nevill severely. The only blood on her body was her own and she had no wounds of any kind. She even had bare feet and yet no blood or cuts from the kitchen floor that had blood and broken glass.
What evidence is there against her? None at all. IN contrast there is evidence against Jeremy and I just cited it.
Her mental illness was a mild case, she had no signs of becoming much worse than ever before but rather was on medication that her doctors said was helping. Just hours earlier she was very docile according to her aunt.
For her to be guilty her medicine had to stop working suddenly, she had to have planned in advance that she would kill them and therefore hid the phone, hoped to find a way to get away with the crime and not go to jail so removed the bedroom phone, she had to be pretending to be docile but was really waiting to explode. She pretended to go to sleep but stayed awake as they slept. Around 3AM she figured they would be asleep so went and got the rifle from where Jeremy claims to have left it. She then got the suppressor, attached it to the gun, took 5-8 bullets from the ammo carrier and placed them in the kitchen in the box of ammo and then went up to the master bedroom to kill her parents. June was disabled but Nevill was not, he managed to flee to the kitchen. Despite his jaw being shattered and voicebox a miracle enabled him to speak and another miracle prevented his blood from dripping onto the phone. Instead of calling for medical help so their wounds could be treated he calls Jeremy, doesn’t tell them they need medical treatment and instead tells him to come over to help disarm her before she can shoot anyone. The phone call is cut off even though it was not hung up and the cord was not cut. Sheila beats this big man to a pulp so severely she breaks the rifle stock without getting so much as a hair out of place. They struggle together but she doesn’t get a scratch because she is being protected by a magical force. The same force prevents her from getting any blood, GSR or other evidence on her body or clothing. She even wraps her body around the rifle as she fires twice without any GSR landing on her gown or hands. Immediately prior to this she decides to kill herself but finds out she can’t with the suppressor attached so she removes it. She decides to bring it downstairs and place it in the closet where she found it instead of leaving it next to her yet still leaves the box of shells in the kitchen. She then shoots herself and again magic strikes as there is not a drop of back spatter in the rifle even though it is a virtual certainty it would result. Moreover after delivering the fatal shot she manages to fire a second shot by magic. Even though the recoil would send the gun up the gun instead goes down as if the laws of physics cease to apply on the night of the murders (which would conveniently explain some of the other magical happenings too) so this second shot ends up lower than the fatal shot.
Jeremy senses a trap so doesn’t go and instead calls Julie to wake her up to tell her about Nevill’s claim as if it is a trip and he needs to share a good laugh with her about it. He eventually calls police. He refuses to go or offer any assistance unless police take him there with them. After they arrive he shows up and they BS around for almost 4 hours. He is telepathic and senses the family is dead so calls Julie again and tells her not to go to work he will have cops pick her up to come support his story. Cops go in and find her and the family dead as Jeremy had sensed. Julie lies to frame him. Unknown persons take the suppressor, scrape it against the mantle so it gets paint on it then looks up Sheila’s blood type in the medical file, obtains blood of that type from somewhere and sprays blood inside in order to all police to argue the suppressor was used when Sheila was shot thus suggesting she was murdered not a suicide victim. Why would they need to plant the paint though, the blood evidence would be much more compelling.
I don’t believe in magic so I am certain that Jeremy did it.
How do Jeremy’s supporters respond? With distortions. They deny there was a scuffle in the kitchen there though clearly was. They claim the police knocked over the table and chairs in the kitchen including somehow turning the chair upside down that Nevill’s body was on. They say there were actually 2 bodies in the kitchen and Sheila was moved. They claim Sheila was shot by police, they claim police had 3 suppressors that they doctored. They claim the suppressor only had floating blood chips that were planted. The list goes on. There is nothing but distortions and bogus excuses that never touch the heart of the evidence against Jeremy.
Nothing to explain away why Jeremy showed such little concern for his family and refused to do anything to try to help. Nothing that can honestly explain how Nevill could have made the call given his injuries or to account for why if by some miracle he could speak why he would not state they had been shot and needed medical attention. Nothing to account for Jeremy’s contradictions and lies. If there were a reasonable way to explain away the evidence I would not know he is guilty. But the fact there is no reasonable way to explain away the evidence and it takes lies and nonsense to try makes me convinced even more of his guilt instead of less.
