In a typical murder scene obviously the police would not be using cushions etc to soak up blood.,they would surely leave it as is. We know that they were working on the assumption it was a suicide/murder. Do you think this is another example of them not taking any care because they basically didn't think it mattered?
That's a very astute observation. You would expect the police in this kind of situation, to give an explanation? Does anyone know of any such explanation from police? Have they even attempted to blame Jeremy Bamber for using the cushion and items to soak up the blood, as part of his murder spree?
I think it more likely that Ralph used the cussions to fend off his attacker? Only an opinion for what it's worth.
He may well have used something. I surprises me that he didn't reach a gun?
or Sheila as a part of the ritualistic cleansing?
Did this concept become abandoned by the defence or is it still on the table?
It was advanced at trial as a possibility and has not been abandoned.
ngb, do you agree there is a common misconception that people are tempted to fall back upon?
'Only Bamber knows what happened' 'Only Bamber knows the truth' etc.
It seems to me rather that the entire defence campaign, from Jeremy Bamber to Mike Tesko to Ewen Smith, Barry Woods, GDS, to the current team, has all been about a journey trying to painstakingly piece together what happened.
It becomes incredulous to believe that so varied and so great a number of professionals could allow themselves to be fooled by some arch manipulator, operating from his prison cell.
