...JB burnt his parents clothes days after his parents’ murder doesn’t mean he’s a murderer.

Please feel free to  add any other “just becauses” to this thread, so long as they are unarguable.

Just because JB went on a sun, sea and sex filled filled jolly holiday to the South of France within weeks of his family’s murder, and with the knowledge that he was under suspicion by the police, doesn’t mean he’s a murderer.

Just because JB drove really slowly to the farmhouse that night despite his father’s alleged anguished and urgent phonecall, arriving after the police (who he called many minutes after the alleged phonecall from his father) doesn’t mean he’s a murderer.

OK, just because he discussed phornographic pictures with Colin, stating 'you can see everything right down to the last detail and later admitted meeting with a Sun Jurno; after which an article appeared in The Sun stating that Bamber had tried to sell pornographic pictures to the paper using the sentence, 'you can see everything right down to the last detail' - doesn't make him a murderer.

Just because JB had his mother’s beloved pet dog put down within 24 hours of her death doesn’t mean he’s a murderer.

What if Bamber couldn't look after the dog?  Wasn't it normal for people to put down dogs when the dog wasn't wanted?  Not very nice, but something that people tended to, especially in those days, and still do to an extent.  A vet will put down a dog on virtually any pretext.  And didn't the vet agree to do so?

The point doesn't really tell us anything, does it.  I love dogs and have always had them, but I have had to put dogs down that I've inherited and couldn't look after.

Bamber was a rural boy and he might have had a hardened attitude.

But didn't the newspaper then print it as a story, in effect challenging Bamber to sue them for libel if it wasn't true?  And why would the journalist lie?  Did Bamber complain to the newspaper? 

I'm inclined to believe it.  I think Bamber was a nasty piece of work.  But again, sorry to say this, and I know you'll laugh, but it doesn't make him a murderer.

Bit of a weird thing to do. The clothes were not going to incriminate him, unless they were the clothes they were wearing when killed. 

The thread must be referring to the bed sheets and carpets. It was probably a joint decision between Bamber & the police to burn these. Bloodied carpet and bed sheets cannot stay in WHF indefinately.

The 60+ pieces of forensic evidence against one alive suspect, who had a motive, opportunity, no alibi and a witness against him, is what makes him guilty.

His supporters on here choose to believe the story was concocted by the Sun (a paper they claim regularly invents stories from scratch) with collaboration from family members that wanted JB put away.  As there is no definitive independent proof that JB did approach the Sun apart from the journalist’s say-so and that of various other “untrustworthy” family and friends I’m not allowing it as a “just because”.

That’s why I referred to it as “alleged”.
Wasn't it proven by an expert witness that there was a call made from WHF to J. Bamber's cottage?  If Jeremy faked the call from WHF there still needed someone at the cottage to answer the call.

"27. At 3.35 a.m., Mr Bonnet arranged for a police car to go to White House Farm. A check
made by a British Telecom operator of the telephone line to the farm was made at 4.30 a.m.
The receiver was off the hook and all the operator could hear was the sound of a dog
barking. "

and
"68. There was no evidence of telephone billing information of the sort which would be available
these days. There was, however, expert evidence called as to the effect of a telephone call
having been made from White House Farm to Goldhanger which was then abandoned by the
caller with the receiver being left off the cradle, as claimed by the appellant. If such a
sequence had occurred, the telephone link would have remained open either until the
handset at White House Farm was replaced or until the handset at Goldhanger had been
replaced and left in position for a period which could vary from 1 to 2 minutes, when an
automatic interruption of the link would take place. Until one or other of these events, the
appellant would have been unable to make any call from the Goldhanger telephone. "

Might I be right in saying that any real interest you have lays with him being innocent? If that's the case, you'd be better speaking with those who believe him innocent.

I don't have any opinion on the case at all other than:

I find Jeremy's description of the call from WHF to Goldhanger to be plausible.

I found it odd that Colin Caffall wasn't considered a suspect.

Regarding the alleged phone call, I expect you do. Jeremy had planned it to sound plausible. Having gone to all that trouble, he didn't want to fall at the first hurdle.

I can't think why you find it odd that Colin wasn't a suspect. Jeremy hadn't planned that it should look like Colin was involved. He planned it to look like Sheila had gone mad and shot the family, leaving a tableau suggesting that this was what had happened.

‘Many people will trust him and assume that he’s a reliable and trustworthy journalist.
However, their trust is misplaced. His lack of due diligence with regard to his article about Rudy Guede and the Meredith Kercher case is disturbing and unacceptable. He doesn’t get the basics of journalism right - which is astonishing for someone who has worked as a journalist for decades. He gets basic facts wrong and he has made numerous demonstrably false claims.
A professional journalist should be able to substantiate every claim they make. Bob Woffinden is unable to do this because he has relied on some of the numerous factually inaccurate articles and the massive defense and PR spin about the case instead of the official court documents and court testimonies.

I don’t dispute that

But nowadays police investigations normally use the trace/interview/eliminate (TIE) strategy to identify suspects - which obviously didn’t happen in Bamber’s case

On the topic at hand, 'Just because...' could be used in either direction.  I would say only one of the points raised is valid - the burning of the clothes/personal effects.  That IS suspicious and I'm curious as to what reason he gave for doing it.  The reason it is suspicious is that it may have been a cover for burning other things. 

Did he burn these items himself or did he instruct somebody else to do it?

That being said, I'm given to understand that Ann Eaton disposed of things she should not have done, despite claiming to have suspicions about Jeremy or doubts about Sheila.  If Jeremy's conduct was unsatisfactory, the same must apply to her.

Supporters are welcome to make their own thread, but they are all valid points. Like I said, on their own, maybe not but when accumulated there are just too many points on which you end up making excuses. Having been a supporter, I found myself doing that once too often.

I don't know if Bamber used the opportunity to dispose of evidence but even if he didn't the action exposes a cold and callous individual - and no, it doesn't make him a killer, just the kind of person who might be.

But that's just a statement of bias. 

What evidence was Ann Eaton disposing of and why?  We need to ask Jeremy questions, but she has questions to answer too. Of course, I accept that the (probable) mass murderer has more questions to answer than everybody else, but this is an impartial discussion of the case, is it not?

Just because Bamber hated his mother enough to kill her in the cruellest manner doesn't mean she was a bad person but in my opinion it makes him evil beyond redemption.

Sometimes I think that murder victims very often become dehumanised and are treated with less than respect particularly when we pore over crime scene photos or diagrams exposing their vulnerability.
Just as we invade their humanity, privacy and lost dignity as we inspect every aspect of their lives and put our own prejudices and interpretation on them.

A reminder that June Bamber and her family were living, breathing human beings was brought home to me when I read ... "Jean offered them June’s collection of commemorative biscuit tins,"
I found that so poignant. 
We've all got our little collections of memoirs which mean nothing to any but ourselves; we know when we bought them and where ~ we know who gave them to us and the occasion when they did.

June's collection of biscuit tins which had probably been consigned to a cupboard anyway serves as a reminder of a life which was cruelly destroyed.

Might I be right in saying that any real interest you have lays with him being innocent? If that's the case, you'd be better speaking with those who believe him innocent. OR, if it's as suggested, that you're simply bored because nothing is happening on the MM site, perhaps you're just doing a wind up?

And just because 2 days after the above he went to Angela Greaves flat in Kensington, made a pass at her and kissed her, discussed marriage with her and told her he was fed up with Julie (All supposedly whilst also dating and sleeping with her sister Virginia and had apparently asked Virginia to move in with him) doesn’t make him a murderer

I'm inclined to think nasty, aggressive and vicious suits acts like putting bags of live rats in someone's car, as is riding a bike at his mother in a way designed to frighten her, and stoning ducklings to frighten his sister and the friend who was able to recall it years later. Even embryonic psychopathy.

But isn't that the point, they are all issues for which the supporters make excuses - such as he had in his possession some sleeping tablets that were obtained by Julie (this doesn't look good for her either) and his original plan was to drug the family and burn the house down. Why did HE have the sleeping tablets?
