Snow, have you never heard of reverse psychology? ie, JB didn't mention.................because having such knowledge would have put him closer to being the culprit. Not that I believe the AGA was the cause of NB's marks, but let's be honest, how many AGA users/owns do you know who've received burns to their necks/backs through contact with their appliance?
I hear what your saying Jane,but it simply doesn't stand up.
There were very few sources of heat at the WHF,so JB or anyone else mentioning the Aga as a possible source of the burne to Nevill would have caused no suspicion whatsoever, ZERO! Not in 1985 nor any time since,so why o why would Bamber keep quiet about something that could work in his favour ie,that the police moved Nevill? Ridiculous.
Its the same as the Bible,if guilty he smearsd it with bloody fingerprints,left a note in it and opened it at a specific place,yet when his defence team were lied to and told that the Bible had been destroyed before the trial JB made no fuss about this.Doesn't logic tell us that JB had no idea of the importance of the Bible and thats why he didn't make a fuss about its alleged destruction?
Truthfully,in all likelyhood if the Bible and its evidence had been given to the defence instead of being hidden away it would have had a dramatic effect on the outcome at trial.
So the bottom line for me is,if the Aga burns are accepted by the CCRC Bamber is innocent whether the police moved Nevill or not.
Let me explain,if Nevill lay against the Aga unconcious for several minutes or hours then got up and was shot to death on the chair/scuttle this points to an innocent Bamber because obviously JB would not waste time waiting hours for the marks to form.He would have killed everyone as quick as possible and fled the scene.Only Sheila fits into this scenario as she was in the house all night.
Now,if JB killed Nevill and left him against the Aga and fled,this means that the police moved Nevill after entry, and that takes us back to the argument of keeping quiet about the source of the marks for 37 years and the fact that the police must have moved Nevill.,both facts that JB must have been aware of all these years,yet like the Bible did not use the knowledge to his advantage.Ridiculous,as I say.
Now I know that very few members give the marks much importance,but if they are accepted I think the prosecution case against JB is severely weakened.The marks are bad,bad news that only point to a guilty Sheila,they scream out that Bamber is innocent.
So it doesn't really matter if the police moved Bamber or not,nor who's scanario is nearest to the truth,if the Aga made the marks Bamber must logically be innocent,and I think a re-trial would convince a jury of this.
As for users burning their neck on an Aga Jane,I would imagine this happens fairly regularly amongst those who take a bucket and snuggle up to them!
