I do not feel able to answer that question at the moment.  I believe more will be revealed publicly in due course.

The DocMaker has said (bold added)

"There is something rotten in the state of Wakefield.

A spokesperson for the Jeremy Bamber Innocence Campaign said: "The ban that the prison has imposed is a sign the authorities are determined to do anything to prevent Jeremy exposing the misconduct, and mistakes that led to his conviction ... It seems to be no coincidence that just as the mass of new exculpatory evidence in his case is receiving a lot of media attention, the prison decides that he can no longer make representations to the media".

There we have it - Essex Police controlling everything. They control the whole world, even Donald Trump.

perhaps they are saying Jeremy's media ban is preventing evidence reaching the CCRC

Seems no other suspect has been convicted charged in the O'Brien case.

I have next to no knowledge of his case but I understand, unlike Barry George and Sion Jenkins who you often mention in the same breath, he received compensation.

But how could that possibly be the case? They submitted a 1,000+ page dossier to the CCRC in March 2021 and have since added to it several times (e.g. the Aga burns experiment, the New Yorker article)

It may be that some form of announcement is going to be made by either side with regard to the case. Dependant on the content and context both sides will have their own narratives which they will want to control. Those on both sides may see JB as a 'loose cannon' in such circumstances. However, placing him under a gagging order with regard to journalists is I believe illegal.

Yes the response to the KC's submissions must be due - if it hasn't been received already. This could be the CT trying to control the narrative i.e. a refusal is unfair because Jeremy was not allowed access to the media (although he was of course there were phone calls with Heidi Blake)

Why so one-sided. The People who run the Judicial Process Home Office down to police may also have issues which they wish to defend. The answer is as always wait and see. We are not privy to the machinations of both sides.

You are very wide of the mark here.

How so?

Normally when the CCRC are about to make a decision on part of the case, Jeremy is given noticed and his supporters get excited, expecting a referral to the Court of Appeal.

Now you are guessing. We cannot just make up suggestions to suit. We are in the dark and miles away from the decision making processes of the parties. It is impossible to know and we have to wait and see. You have no evidence of how supporters think and behave. There are many who do not join media clubs and boards. It looks like your view on this is just your own biased position.

When the decision comes looking forward to Jeremy making available the SOR so we can all make up our own minds.

But will he release the SOR though?

There was an interesting dicussion this afternoon on The Media Show on BBC Radio 4.  Emily Bolton from Objection and Simon Hattenstone the Guardian journalist discussed the ban by HMP Wakefield on Jeremy Bamber having contact with journalists.

Here is a link to the programme on BBC Sounds: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002w5yr

The discussion starts at 11.30 and ends at 21.14.  It is worth listening to.

any more details about exactly what's happened here or still shrouded in mystery?
