[Hardy Boy]

Did Jeremy Bamber have a previous conviction for supplying Cannabis?

Not to my knowledge, but MT always claimed he was being watched. Something to do with  (alleged) lights and light aircraft making night visits.

Its something I picked up on Jane, I will post it later.  Maybe this is what Bamber meant when he said Neville liked to keep things in the Family?

If it is true, imagine it getting out with Neville being a Magistrate?

Sounds a bit Essex Boys-ish. Were the Kent lads Steel and Whomes involved those type of flights in Essex? Or was it those notorious brothers?

Well Roch, you know how fertile was Mike's imagination!

Aldridge Says in this Podcast that Bamber had a past conviction for supplying Canabis, he said he chose not to use it at trial.  Anyway, he starts to talk about Bamber at 7 mins into the Podcast and the bit where he mentions that Bamber had a conviction starts at 10 mins 50 seconds.

I personally don’t know how true this is, I just happened to listen to this podcast.

Prior to October 86, Jeremy had never to my knowledge been arrested on uk soil let alone convicted of anything.( in terms of crimes none related the the events of course)

[ILB]

Tend to think if Jeremy had been to court and been convicted of an offence however light we would have learned of it from the relatives as they'd have hammered him for it in their statements.

Thats what I thought, but Aldridge says he had a past conviction for supplying Canabis ILB, why he said it I don’t know?

[Adam]

He was arrested for the caravan burglary pre trial.

Aldridge clearly states for supplying Canabis.  I think he spoke with the defence and He chose not to use it at trial?

Anthony Arlidge, barrister with a theatrical streak who was prosecuting counsel in the Jeremy Bamber murder case
He was reported to be among the highest-paid criminal Silks and performed in court as if he were on the stage,  did not believe in the concept of evil until he met Jeremy Bamber.  Bamber was jailed for life in 1986 and would send Arlidge Christmas cards, insisting on his innocence and seeking Arlidge’s help in overturning the conviction.

But, could he have lost it against a better defence, after all it was a narrow victory that secured  the lowest verdict accepted by a court of 12 Jurors, a 10/2 Majority verdict?

[ILB]

He was arrested for the caravan burglary pre trial.

Purely tactical, hence the charge and attempt at remand ( said by ainsley ) it was small potatoes in comparison to what they were accusing him of and he had hanging over him.

In fact the magistrates bailed him due to he had no previous convictions so god knows where Aldridge got that from.

I do question it myself ILB, that’s why I put it up for discussions.  Maybe NGB will clarify?  If he had got a previous Conviction for supplying Canabis, it must have been prior to meeting Julie, I think she would have mentioned this as well?  But Aldridge clearly states that Bamber had a prior Conviction for Supplying Canabis,  he must have discussed it with his defence and chose not to use it at trial, he makes reference to this Part in the Podcast?
