DC David Robert Hammersley Trial Transcript------is worth a look.
I had read it earlier and there is much of interest in there. His guardedness during cross examination is apparent. Viewed alongside his breakdown in the COLP interview where he says, "it wasn't me who found it" or words to that effect, he gives the distinct impression that he has something to hide.
He also denied knowledge of the gun cupboard until weeks later, presumably because the pictures were from 23/9/85. The whole story around the gun cupboard presented by EP is self evidently a pack of lies.
1) Bird takes pictures of the gun cupboard on 7/8/85. In 1991 he views and discusses said pictures
with COLP.
2) Bird in court is examined and cross examined and the only photographs discussed are ones taken
on the 23/9/85.
3) Hammersley when examined and cross examined denies even knowing that there was a gun
cupboard until weeks later despite examining WHF on the 7th, 8th and 9th August.
Is it even remotely feasible that Hammersley couldn't know this. It seems reasonably clear that the court was seriously misled here.
What exactly do the photographs taken by Bird on 7/8/85 show? It would appear to be something that EP are desperate to hide.
It is also difficult to believe that the firearms team had not asked and found out about the gun cupboard before the raid. The knowledge of the gun cupboard was available on the 7th and the feigned EP ignorance is preposterous and shown to be a lie anyway by Bird's COLP interview.
