But we want closure, once and for all. It's about time some authors made their real views known, because I'm sick of reading books on this case that are non-commital.
Life is full of unknowns eg the origin of life itself!
I don't see how authors expressing an opinion on guilt or innocence provides any sort of closure of conclusion? Authors are authors not forensic scientists. None are prepared to put their money where their mouth is and fund new tests etc which might provide closure/conclusion? How is poring over data that is some 3 decades old going to change anything? Science and technology moves on at a rapid pace; this case is still firmly rooted in the dark ages. PH ranting and making all sorts of derogatory comments about JB and those that believe he might be a MoJ is not constructive. PH's contact with JB has been limited to correspondence only? Certainly they haven't met face-to-face and I don't believe even spoken on the phone. Other than exchanging one light-hearted post on this forum I haven't had any other contact with PH whatsoever and I have no desire to. He seems to want to label anyone who believes JB might be a MoJ into a category: "disciple", "Jeremy's desperate and lonely housewives club", or a "cyber bully" and no doubt I feature somewhere amongst that lot!
I wonder how PH viewed the families/supporters of long running MoJ's such as Stefan Kiszko, Stephen Downing, Sally Clark, Guildford Four, Maguire Seven, Birmingham Six?
There are many instances where Bamber has changed his story over the years and show that he is definitely manipulative, so why not say so?
There are many instances where many have changed their story! Ranging from JM's testimony to the relatives account as to when, where and how the silencer was found and subsequently handled to PC's West timing of the phone call.
DS Jones lied to JB during his police interviews which I consider manipulation.
A typical example is one where the leading players were gathered at Bourtree cottage and Colin Caffell asked Bamber about Nevill's phone call. I don't have the exact wording to hand now, but Bamber claimed in front of all those present that his dad was already hurt/injured at that point - "I really felt that", he said. Fast forward thirty years and in correspondence with Paul Harrison, Bamber now says that Nevill didn't sound as if he was hurt on the phone, simply because his original story doesn't fit with no blood being present on the telephone in the CS photos.
If JB is innocent he will be as much in the dark as the next person and has no doubt done what we all do ie try to fit the pieces of the puzzle together. In any event I thought CC was unsure whether JB did in fact say he thought NB sounded injured when he supposedly made the call to JB? I don't believe its in any of the early witness statements?
Jeremy Bamber is a pathological liar and that needs to be stated to counteract all the nonsense spouted his delusional supporters.
I don't believe there's any evidence that JB has lied or as PH would say told "deliberate lies"! No doubt JB has been mistaken and wrong on aspects of the case but that's different to lying?
AE provided a 3 page WS on aspects of the case where she was mistaken or wrong:
