What everybody should not forget is that by the time Jeremy came to trial nobody had looked deeply into the background of the silencer, all anybody appears to have known about it was that it belonged to the Bamber rifle, that David Boutflour found it in the gun cupboard after the police gave the keys to whf back to the family, and that blood that originated from Sheila was found inside it, and paint from the aga in the kitchen was found upon it, and that when police found the body of Sheila in the bedroom there was no silencer fitted to its barrel, and that this must mean that Sheila did not kill herself, she could not have done so because with the silencer fitted to the end of the guns barrel it would have been too long to enable or allow her to shoot herself by use of it so configured, even if she had wanted to, and in any event because blood got into the silencer at the time she was shot and killed, she could not very well have removed the silencer after she was already dead and taken it to conceal it downstairs in the gun cupboard and then walk back upstairs and lay down dead again with the rifle minus the silencer atop herself?
As far as anybody and everybody was concerned the silencer in question that proved all these points had an exhibit reference of DRB/1, lab' item number 22, court exhibit number 9...
