My theory on this Mike (and before anyone piles in I admit I do not have evidence to prove this) is that Sheila shot hereself lying on the bed. The police moved her onto the floor, possibly to attempt resuscitation (i.e. on a hard surface). Subsequently, possibly as part of the "informatives", they moved her back onto the bed. The photographs produced as part of the trial bundle only showed Sheila on the floor, which depicted the scene as the police had staged it.
You are correct about Sheila's body being on the bed, and that it was subsequently moved to the floor, and that the only photographs produced as part of the case against Jeremy were some of those which were taken when Sheila's body was on the floor, not on the bed. It should also be said, that not all the photographs taken of Sheila's body on the floor were disclosed at the time of the trial, so the defence had no way of knowing the things we all now know...
It did not help matters, when a false photograhic record was produced by PC Bird (SOC), who produced the so called MASTER COPY ALBUM containing 223 pictures, whereas, there existed another top secret album containing 581 pictures which was known as THE SENIOR INVESTIGATING OFFICERS ALBUM. If PC Bird had not contributed to this deception I think Jeremy's legal team would have been able to work it out back then at the trial in October 1986, that police had stage managed Sheila's body in the bedroom...
I think PC Bird got away with doing what he did because a large number of the other photographs which he did not include in hi8s MASTER COPY ALBUM (223) were taken by training officers involved in the stage managing of Sheila's body at the scene, involving Sheila's body being on the bed, and the fact that the second shot was not inflicted until after the police surgeon, Dr Craig, had confirmed Sheila to already be dead, by 8:44am...
