Had Stan Jones ever previously been charged with fabricating evidence in EP ?
No idea of his disciplinary record.
After the massacre did Stan Jones single handedly decide to fabricate a silencer ?
We don't know for sure it was fabricated
Did Stan Jones incorrectly believe that evidence being processed would show Bamber was innocent ?
Who knows? Regardless of what anyone believed I don't see why it would prevent someone fabricating the silencer if they were of a mind to do so.
Why would Stan Jones take such a huge criminal and career ending risk ?
We don't know he did. If he did he obviously thought he could get away with it perhaps knowing the internal systems, controls, supervision and management were at best weak. This can be evidenced by the fact he knowingly entered the silencer into the wrong property book to prevent it come under the sort of scrutiny such a find/exhibit would normally undergo.
Did Stan Jones receive a silencer from the relatives with blood, paint & a hair on ?
AE's WS of 14th Aug makes no ref to the finding of the silencer or the handing over. None of the relatives make ref to the hair.
Was the received silencer sent away for testing ?
According to Glynnis Howard she analysed it on 13th Aug.
What were the results of the tests ?
Substance on the outside thought to be blood was confirmed as such and human in origin. Hair was lost in transit. I can't recall about the paint I would have to check.
If the results showed an attempted frame from the relatives, why didn't Stan Joned charge the relatives ?
How did the results show an attempted frame by anyone?
If the results showed it was Sheila's blood, does it make Bamber 100% guilty ?
2 distinct aspects to the silencer: external and internal. As I said above the blood on the oustide was human in origin but the volume didn't permit group testing. The blood supposedly found inside matched SC's blood groups by way of her antigens, 2 enzymes and 1 protein. This only makes JB most likely guilty if the blood supposedly found inside arrived there by way of the drawback effect.
If the results were unfavourable, did Stan Jones fabricate a second silencer & send it away for testing ?
We don't know he fabricated anything.
Why haven't the labs ever said they recieved a second silencer ?
Did they receive a second silencer? If so maybe they also had poor systems, controls, supervision and management.
Did Stan Jones have access to Sheila's blood ?
At the end of the autopsies the pathologist handed over the victims blood samples to soc officers which were subsequently placed in EP's soc fridge at Chelmsford so quite possibly most had access to victims' samples until they were forwarded to FSS.
Did Stan Jones know how to put Sheila's blood into the silencer to create the back splatter effect ?
Blood stain analysis as we know it now has never been used in this case. I doubt very much DS Jones had any idea about blood stain analysis or the drawback effect.
Did Stan Jones know the rifle end had no blood on ?
He observed SC/rifle at soc and worked closely with DI Cook who seems to have been responsible for analysing the rifle by way of transporting it to FSS for blood testing and Sandridge for fingerprinting so yes quite possibly. If he needed to know he could easily find out.
Did Stan Jones know the rifle with the silencer on was too long for Sheila to shoot herself ?
Unlikely. Even if he found a woman of the same height it wouldn't account for arm length/reach. Dr Vanezis didn't take such measurements so noone can say for sure. In any event the blood on the outside, paint and hair may have been a frame attempt by certain individuals attempting to show NB was beaten with the silencer rather than SC shot with it.
Did Stan Jones know that Sheila had received a contact shot ?
Maybe. He didn't attend autopsy but as previously said he worked closely with others who did who may have imparted this info. He also attended a meeting a WHF on 8th with Dr Vanezis so this may have been discussed.
Was Stan Jones able to return to WHF to scratch the aga ?
Yes. He had access to the newly fitted alarm code when he handed keys over to AE on 9th Aug. He also attended WHF with DI's Cook and Miller when the took paint samples and casts from the Aga surround.
Did Stan Jones have access to crime scene pictures of the aga ?
Would the police ordinarily take soc photos of the underside? I thought Peter Sutherest had to piece photos together to arrive at his conclusions? Yes he would have access to soc photos via DC Bird.
Did Stan Jones have access to Nevill's hair ?
The relatives didn't observe the hair and it was never forensically analysed. According to the police it was lost in transit. NB's hair would be all over WHF.
Did Stan Jones include other members of EP in his frame ?
You seem pretty keen Adam that DS Jones fabricated the silencer?
If Stan Jones did not receive anything from the relatives, did he ask them to lie in their WS's and say they found the silencer?
It's a possibility.
Are Basil Cock & Barbara Wilson part of the same lie ?
Do you have their trial testimony confirming they witnessed the find of the silencer complete with blood, paint and hair?
Why did the relatives, BC & BW agree to lie by saying they handed in the silencer. Risking criminal charges in order to support a bent copper ?
AE's WS of 14th Aug makes no ref of finding the silencer. And yet her WS of 8th Sept immediately seizes on the relevance of it. At this stage ie 8th Sept the case was very much turning against JB so all concerned may have been swept along by it thinking JB guilty.
