It's not a straight forward case at all. It's had one ccrc referral and the bloke who was convicted till this day is fighting for his innocence to be proved and for himself to be vindicated.
One of the deceased was found with the murder weapon upon her.
The alternative suspect was mentally ill.
The key witness was in a relationship with the accused and supported him until he fancied an upgrade.
The silencer evidence is disputed.
The key witness was in talks with a national newspaper prior to conviction
There is a question over the relatives motives.
A bloke has claimed innocence for almost forty years
Accept you believe he is gulity. But many others don't.
It is a straight forward case. Which is why the conviction has stood for 39 years. Both the COA (twice) & CCRC have dismissed appeals & the current submission has already had at least 3 grounds dismissed.
Bamber staged the scene. Which is why the rifle and bible were on Sheila.
The key witness was in a relationship with Bamber. Which is why she was a key witness.
Sheila's illness made her too weak, drowsy, uncordinated and unbalanced.
The courts have dismissed the silencer appeals. This is just one of over 80 pieces of sourced forensic evidence.
The relatives did believe Sheila could not have committed the massacre.
The NOTW did approach Julie mid trial. After believing Bamber was going to be convicted.
As said, he is looking for a technicality as Taff accepted his murder/suicide insinuation for a few days before being replaced.
