You need to meet him Holly. It is easy to form an opinion without ever knowing the man. It is only by communicating closely with him that you can get a real feel for the case. Why do you think so many of his long term close friends have walked away from him? He has told lie after lie and in the end one loses trust in him. Sad to say but Jeremy has no hope of ever being released. I think with your enquiring mind and speaking to him you may change your opinion.
Daisy I wouldn't take anything JB said now seriously. 30 years incarcerated cant be good for mind, body or soul whether innocent or guilty. If I could see results for the following tests supported the prosection case against JB that would certainly make me change my mind.
- Ballistics testing on rifle/ammo with silencer to determine whether 'draw-back' is possible.
- Analyse blood using conventional serology: antigens, enzymes and protein after subjecting to the same conditions the 'flake' underwent: firing of rifle/hot gases and ambient temperature over 5 weeks
- Test whether females long polished finger nails are able to prepare rifle for fire and fire 25 rounds without causing damage to nails and polish.
- Test how many times novices need to observe an experienced handler prepare the weapon for fire before they are able to accomplish.
- Complete tests on the scratch marks found on the aga. As I understand it the CCRC rejected Peter Sutherst's evidence based on another expert (Andy Law off the top of my head) criticising his methods rather than the conclusion.
- Review of SoC using crime scene photos enhanced by modern technology eg location of casings to determine who was shot where exactly.
- Review of pathological evidence with particular emphasis on the wounds NB sustained upstairs to determine whether or not he was capable of entering into a violent struggle downstairs.
- Review of June and SC's psychiatric histories based on expert opinion using modern psychiatry/psychology and neuroscience.
- Test bullets used and compare any chemical deposits left on hands; it appears bullets tested for trial compared with SC's hand swabs were different from the actual bullets used.
