Indeed Joe. I’d be interested in your point of view. I’m not deeply invested in the case so my opinion is probably not as informed as yours.
Oh i'm no expert on the case by any means, Faith, some of the members on the various websites know every detail of every statement and every book written about the case, no doubt there are some of those here.
No, after looking at the case I decided to come down on reasonable doubt due to the obvious anomalies shall we say, the silencer being found by the relatives after the police had vacated the farm house, Julie waiting a month to come forward, JB passing the lie detector, the uncertainty of the blood inside the silencer belonging to Sheila and how it got there. And of course the destruction of the crime scene exhibits in 1996.
Just the obvious things really, just enough for me to go for reasonable doubt.
And since then of course we have Philip Boyce's Aga evidence which could be very important if accepted.
This would mean that either the police moved Nevill from the Aga to the chair/scuttle after entry to the WHF at 7.35 or the burns were caused earlier that night before Nevill was shot to death, either way, the burns favour an innocent JB.
So, I believe this is a very important CCRC submission for JB if the Aga burns are accepted.
Of course the campaign team say they have proof of the 6.09 phone call from inside the house along with other proof of JBs innocence too.
Anyway, it is probably JBs last chance at freedom at his age, we will know in the near future, Faith, until then there isn't much more to say.
