But you're not privy to what is going on behind the scenes.

Are you?

[Caroline]

No.  When he was arrested and interviewed under caution he was represented by local solicitor Bruce Bowler.  Imo he might well have been served better by continuing with this solicitor.  I always thought it was his then girlfriend Anji Greaves who sought out David Napley's firm but Brett Collins said recently it was him.  Anyhow I understand from another barrister that it was the first case Napley's firm had taken on funded by legal aid and that this resulted in somewhat of an inferior service.  Post trial the appeals process swung into action with the same legal team.  Thereafter it has been all over the place with various players dipping in and out on a mainly pro nono basis resulting in a lack of proper management and oversight of the case.

Why do you think that is? This current solicitor is just going over old ground.

Because once a verdict is returned a defendant becomes an appellant and your back is very much against the wall especially if you have no family fighting for you. Yeah I know he shot them all 

If things go the way I anticipate the prosecution case will be oblitereated

[Holly Goodhead]

Are you?

Yes in my own sweet way.  I'm working with various other independents behind the scene.

OIC  - so you're not privy either. Good luck anyway - you'll certainly need it.

Not privy?  I'm the instigator

I like a challenge!

Thanks. I just wondered as they were involved with the McCann couple.

[Holly Goodhead]

Thanks. I just wondered as they were involved with the McCann couple.

Just had a little Google and I see it was in connection with intrusion into their private life.  I haven't really looked into the history of the firm and the main players but it seems they gained somewhat of a high profile on the back of the Jeremy Thorpe case and then handled other high profile cases: Nick Leason and the Maxwell brothers.  A solicitor by the name of Paul Terzeon acted for JB but there's no evidence he had any experience in cases involving firearms let alone a mass shooting.  Terzeon instructed Geoffrey Rivlin QC and the late Ed Lawson QC as junior.  Again there's no evidence the QC's had any experience in cases involving firearms. I've always maintained the defence needed to seek out experts from US where cases involving firearms are bread and butter!

And June wasn’t fatally injured at that time...Jeremy shot her dead between the eyes after she got up and ran

According to the pathologist the shots June sustained initially would have killed her had the head shots not supervened.  Had JB been the perp he would not have wasted *5 or 6 bullets on June before inflicting the head shots.

* June sustained a bruise to her chest thought to be from a bullet but it was not fully concluded whether this involved a bullet from another shot or a separate bullet due to the way exited bullets and casings were found.

If he wanted it to believed some one who was supposedly off her rocker did it.

But it's possible to have said that of all the victims, isn't it? The expert marksman Jeremy was could have dispatched all of them -especially the sleeping twins- with just a single shot. He wasn't trying to demonstrate his own prowess -which would have been an immediate give away- he was demonstrating how someone incompetent would have shot had they gone berserk.

By using 25/26 cartridges it involved at least 2 reloads which kind of defeats the arguments about JB's claims of bunny hunting earlier as a ruse for leaving the rifle out if SC had to hunt out ammo and reload at least twice.

Nah... Far too risky.  By doing that it would put his year long plan in danger of failure. He panicked when they became moving targets and couldn't decide which to shoot first, so took random potshots at both until they eventually succumbed to their wounds before delivering the final six to their heads.

Or he was just making absolutely sure that they wouldn't stand in the way of his inheritance.
