Ok I trust if I return the favour you will not respond and take it with a pinch of salt. The police did not shoot Sheila she committed suicide. They desecrated her corpse. Lets agree my position without distortion by language use. Thanks
But you said police shot her in the neck after she committed suicide. Why would they do that and can you name any of the protagonists in the case who agree that Sheila was suicidal?
Your post:
I believe the original scenario which they planned involved a restaging and included the shooting of Sheila by June in some manner. For this it required Sheila to be shot with two different weapons. They shot her in the neck after she had committed suicide calling it the first shot.
By way of explanation. If it was known that June was alive before entry and SC had obviously deceased her by some margin in time people would question who shot June especially if she had a few survivable wounds if any at all. By faking a survivable wound on a deceased SC they could argue one of two things.
1 That June had shot SC in some kind of struggle and thinking her dead dropped her guard only for a Stunned SC (PV's initial autopsy wording) to recover and kill June.
2 SC abandoned her attempts to get at June who was sheltering in the box room with a shotgun. Having failed, she tried to commit suicide . That SC herself had made an error in her first suicide attempt. June had approached her to check for whether she had survived only to be shot by SC then killing herself with a second shot.
Do not forget in the first few hours EP did not know whether any pathologist assigned to the case would be sympathetic to an accidental shooting. or what else might emerge or that the family would get very involved or how they could/might play this at the inquest. It was all very early hours and they had to come up with some sort of plan.
If June had no other injuries except for the shot between the eyes that would be hellish. Remember also that the original case file remains undisclosed and even if police outside knew June was alive a plausible explanation for her demise would be required to satisfy them that everything was 'Kosher'.
