Why Would Sheila Have Used a Gun When She Didn’t Know How to Work One?

[APRIL]

And you don't think NB would have done the same with SC?

It did cross my mind to wonder why Nevill would have assisted Sheila to shoot him

And?

When did Nevill show Sheila how to the the .22? In the interim time between buying the rifle and the murders occurring - in between Sheila was ill. So how and even why would Nevill believe that rifle instruction would be just the thing? Fact is, there is no evidence whatsoever that was shown how to use the rifle but innocent supports need to get that rifle in her hand and make it a familiar object. Not succeeding I'm afraid!

My dad taught me how to drive in my very own mini 1275 gt but noone has taught me to drive all the cars I've driven since.

I believe David has used this example but the woman wasn't taking her meds and she was familiar with guns having spent some (although brief) time in the military. Nice try - no cigar

One assumes you'd wanted to learn, or did you give up as soon as you passed your test?

And?

And someone who went from doing normal stuff like working out in a gym and driving to a shopping mall to opening fire on innocent by-standers.  Why?  Because her family made her feel nervous and her mother wanted to put her in a home.

They didn't need to because you were familiar with driving - Sheila was not familiar with guns and you have no evidence to prove she was. It's just made up.

Who wasn't taking her meds!

Couldn't wait.  I had the car before I was 17.  Had a lesson om my 17th birthday and applied for my test too.  You had to wait till your 17th birthday to apply.  Past first time and there was no stopping me roaring around in my liitle red mini 1275 gt

For the benefit of this thread, I have complied this handy spreadsheet:

1) Sheila - not proficient or interested in guns. Shaky and uncoordinated at the best of times.
2) Jeremy - experienced and proficient with guns. Had previously expressed a desire to kill his family.

You know that because?

I read the pathology report.

How very different Sheila's life might have been had she had a fraction your confidence.

So have most but it doesn't tell you that.
