Bamber appeal against "invasive" documentary fails

[slaters]

A COMPLAINT by convicted killer Jeremy Bamber about a documentary over his crimes has been rejected by communications watchdog Ofcom.

Bamber was jailed for life in 1986 after he was convicted of murdering his adopted parents June and Neville, sister Sheila Caffell and her six-year-old twin sons Daniel and Nicholas at their farmhouse in Tolleshunt D'Arcy.

He has always protested his innocence and claims his schizophrenic sister shot her family before turning the gun on herself in a remote Essex farmhouse.

Bamber complained after Sky broadcast Killing Mum And Dad: The Jeremy Bamber Story, which examined the police investigation into the crimes.

It included archive footage and photographs of Bamber and contributions from family members, acquaintances, journalists who covered the case and a forensic psychologist Kerry Danes.

The report stated Bamber complained Ms Danes "unfairly and inaccurately portrayed him as a psychopath" despite never having met him.

He also complained the programme "discussed at length, and ridiculed, intimate details about his sexual orientation which had no relevance to the offence of which he was convicted".

The watchdog’s report found although Bamber had a legimitate expectation of privacy, the broadcaster’s right to freedom of expression and the “genuine” public interest in the case against Bamber and his motivation for the murders outweighed any intrusion.

The explanation doesn't really deal with the Kerry Daynes aspect of the complaint in my view.  I've not seen the programme so shouldn't really comment on it but I'd like to know how much input the defence was allowed during the making of the programme.

By the way slaters, have you seen the other story on there?

just caught sight of this report a bit earlier and it mentions a reference to jeremy's sexual orientation.  given that he had several relationships with women and was often seen in the company of gay male friends are we to imply that he is in actual fact bisexual?

Hi Cyril, pleased to meet you. Regarding Jeremy's sexual orientation:

1. Who knows?

2.  Who cares?

3.  It's irrelevant, surely?

+1 for that!

[SUMMER]

I agree!
Jeremy's sexual orientation is irrelevant.

[Cyril Bews]

I agree!
Jeremy's sexual orientation is irrelevant.

it seems the professional disagrees with both of you.

Please explain, what DOES his sexuality have to do with anything?

[HMEssex]

Jeremy's sexuality has nothing to do with this. 

Anyway, wasn't it Robert Boutflour who decided that as JB dared to have a 'gay' friends then by his antiquated reckoning JB must also somehow be bisexual?

I'm just wondering why you should mention that? Was that the main story?

What you mean a professional on sex?

Absolutely not.  Why would anyone come to that conclusion that he was bisexual?  I would say that if he socialised with people of different sexual orientations/preference then he was a non judgemental person which is to be praised and should go in his favour.

Most of us meet and socialise with different people in our lives.  We could be socialising and working with people, who we either know to be openly gay or perhaps we have no idea as they are secretly gay, does that mean we are all bisexual?
