Sniffer dog

Why are you hyperventilating over Mr Mercer's evidence, simong? Does this case have personal significance for you?

You and your brother used to get very hot under the collar about this case, didn't you?

Hello Keira, I don't appear to be hyperventilating. I apologise profusely if that is the impression i have given you. P.C Mercer worked on the case and works near where i live. The fact that he was a police officer and firmly believes in Jeremy Bambers innocence makes him a very interesting person to meet, i feel.

Personal Significance? difficult question but i will say Yes.

Hi Simong 

Nice to see you,as always.

I am not sure that this is relevant to the thread Keira.

Andrea how old is your profile photo?

Why do you want to know that then?

[Roch]

Ngb you are aware of who is making the documentary and I know hours of filming has been done but who knows what makes the final cut

I am confident it will shake the public watching

Jack, it might not shake anyone who is as familiar with the case, such as us or the other forum.  Since both sets of forum members are aware of the new evidence. 

I am of course still looking forward to seeing it.

Rochy when was there a prime time documentary on the Bamber case last?

Twitter is flooded with law students who believe he is innocent, they are obviously interested in MOJ cases

I expect the general public will feel the same when the case is laid out with the new evidence and PII etc

It is a case that will catch the public interest

NOBODY wants to see someone in prison for life if the person looks like he may be innocent

I am looking forward to it jack... but had hoped it might be longer than 20 mins.  Hopefully it will be very interesting.

Good evening all

So is it still not confirmed that a sniffer dog actually went into the farmhouse?

Thankyou

[Roch]

Rochy if the case is referred which I believe it will be I think a full length documentary would be before the actual appeal to keep the pressure up

I wonder if it will go to judicial review, in the event of a negative CCRC refusing referral? 

[vidvic]

Keira you're right me just like hearing everything first hands is nice but I know he is convinced Jeremy is innocent

How?

[vidvic]

Brilliant, Jackie, you've made my day! 

You were saying Vic and Nick....?

I think jackie is saying that he was on a provisional list of interviewees but I'm not sure she is saying he was actually interviewed? But if he truly believes in bamber's innocence I am absolutely staggered we've not heard from him before now? Despite a £1m pound reward? And I am sure he is absolutely delighted that you've set any journo worth his salt to now try and track him down for copy!!

[Roch]

It's bang out of order that his name has been referenced on this thread in the way that it has.  Mods should remove reference to him on this thread imo.  Regardless of what he may or may not think about the case, his views are private as far as i can see.

I think you're right, Rocky.

People, their views and circumstances change, Vic. Nothing is static in life.

Nick, I'm not sure if this is a help or a hindrance, but below is a copy of a post from Mike on the SFJ almost three years ago. It mentions the dog handler a few times.

Having said that, I have no idea where this information actually originates, perhaps Mike would be able to provide an insight.

Well found, Hartley! Thank you for this.
