Barbara De"ath discussing sea wall

[ILB]

Adam, I know you are pro police ( until you are arrested) but I would be interested on your opinion on this chaps comment, ( undeneath the unbiased ex met detective Peter Bleksley )

[Adam]

I have not seen Philip Walkers take on the sea wall.

I think GG taking his blog down is somewhat significant

Miller was biased, he was part of the CID that brought Bamber to trial. Wilkinson was a DI working under Ainsley. ( The top guy)

What did RB say?

Phillip said Bamber could be spotted from distance. As The Sea Wall was an open area with good light.

Do you think the defence did not check Wilkinson's WS. They had a year.

No I don't as I've stated before.

The mantra was Bamber was in his cottage asleep until he was woken by his dad.

You know this.

I believe they did check the route.

Do you think it would have been a good idea for the defence to check Bamber's route?

They had a year.

[ILB]

To be honest the only way you could create reasonable doubt to make this compelling as a none starter ( the sea wall) was to take the jury on an excersise and visit to the sea wall and the route the prosecution alleged Bamber took on the night.

Obviously this would have to be replicated in the middle of the night to represent a true picture.

We would have to either ask Jeremy Bamber or Paul Terzeon or Geoffrey Rivlin. I think Geoffrey Rivlin is still alive, may be wrong.

I know that Ed Lawson junion counsel died some years ago.

[ILB]

I personally don't think they did check the route.

Do you think Bamber told his defence cycling The Sea Wall was 'impossible' and 'laughable'?

[Adam]

Wilkinson got lucky then.

[ILB]

I believe he probably did in legal visits whilst on remand.

As said no transcript of the Rivlin and Bamber direct survives.

[ILB]

Wilkinson got lucky then.

Bambers defence was he was innocent.

His mantra was he never made a journey and was home in the cottage.

That was the defence at Chelmsford in 1986.

[ILB]

In fairness, a jury visit to the sea wall may have been beneficial

[ILB]

But it had to replicate in my view the time the accused made the journey.

Going at 10am in the morning wouldn't have been useful

Do you think the defence went there at night. But realised there was good ambient light. As RB, GG & Phillip said and my hundreds of photos show?
