Hi everyone,
I'm new to the board; thanks for accepting me. I'm after a favour! Full disclosure; I'm currently writing a book about contentious cases and, of course, Jeremy's case features.
The point of the book is not to discuss if he's innocent or guilty, but to look into forums like this and ask posters what it is that motivates them to discuss the case. Does anyone have any thoughts or would be willing to chat to me about it?
Also I'll be honest - I find this and the Blue Forum quite confusing, could explain a bit of the history for me?
Thank you so much in advance
From a legal point of view, there is nothing contentious about the Jeremy Bamber case. There is very strong, and even overwhelming evidence that points to guilt on Jeremy's part. Evidence against him has got even stronger over the years as forensic analysis has become more advanced.
This has been tested many times in court over the last 35 years.
It is the legal right of every prisoner in the UK to access all the evidence on his or her case, and to contest their guilt, even if the evidence forwarded to the legal authorities is weak, complete nonsense, or even faked evidence.
Jeremy Bamber has been submitting faked and fabricated evidence to the legal authorities over the last 35 years. His latest effort was dismissed by the CCRC as 'pure speculation and unsubstantiated allegations'

And should newspapers be printing his press releases pretty much verbatim, without applying any analysis?
Your subject matter is very narrow. Just out of interest, who is going to buy a book on the subject of 'why people talk about Jeremy Bamber on forums?'
Do you have a publisher, or is this a self published effort? Just curious.
