And Bamber's prints might have been found on the bible because he "threatened Crispy" with it.
Really? Seriously? When exactly would Bamber have smacked Crispy with a bible in his parents' bedroom, unless it was on the night that he killed everyone?
And you wonder why Bamber's still playing hunt the carbolic with Mick Philpott?
Only identifiable fingerprints on the bible belonged to June:
52. The Bible found by Sheila Caffell's body, belonged to her mother and was normally kept in a cupboard to the right of her bed. It was examined for fingerprints. Many belonged to June Bamber and there were a small number of insufficient detail for comparison, save for one which appeared to have been made by a small child.This is one of many reasons I say JB's defence lawyers were grossly incompetent and negligent. Terzeon instructed an expert in blood serology to visit the lab and examine all blood stained exhibits. The expert, Dr Lincoln, sent a report to Terzeon which you can read from here pages 12 - 17:
http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=276.msg4584#msg4584As everyone can see Dr Lincoln examines all blood stained exhibits EXCEPT the BIBLE! This is simply unforgivable and shows a complete lack of care and attention. No excuses...benefit of hindsight blah, blah. At the 2002 appeal hearing Terzeon states he asked about the open pages of the bible when he viewed the original photos on 7th July 1986:

- Terzeon observed blood stained images of the bible in SoC photos on 7th July 1986.
- Terzeon read Dr Lincoln's report dated 19th September 1986 analysing each blood stained exhibit EXCEPT the BIBLE!
Had Terzeon pursued the bible it may well have alerted the defence to the fact that JB was being set up. It would have called into question JM's claims MM/JB 'staged' the bible.
All the evidence supports June holding the bible as she walked around the bed and dropped it in the vicinity it was found:
- SC's palms/fingers were free of blood stains
- June's palms/fingers were blood stained
- None of SC's fingerprints were found on bible
- June's fingerprints were on bible
- Religion loomed large in June's life as discussed with Dr Ferguson
- The bible belonged to June
- There's no evidence SC was religious to the point she would read a bible and/or seek one out in a crisis. Dr Ferguson does not refer to SC discussing religion.
