But this thread and hopefully the revelation of the photo has us all intrigued. Mike, on many occasions you have promised to show us the "goods" if the CCRC decision didn't go favourably, now it's time to show the faithful they are not all Lemmings, IMHO....
The photograph of Sheila on the bed exists, I only removed one such photograph from the album when I visited Ewens office in 2004, there could have been others in the same album but I didn't look at all the pictures. The purpose of removing the photograph was with the specific intention of sending it to Jeremy, which is what I did. Of course, I did scan the image and retained it on a computer I was using at the time, I did this the same evening I returned from Ewens office in Birmingham, which was also the same evening that I spoke to Jeremy on the telephone at which stage I told him about the photograph of Sheila on the bed. I did not tell Jeremy that I had actually got one of the photographs when I spoke to him on the phone that evening, because I knew our telephone conversation was being monitored by Prison security, and I did not want to alert them that I had removed a photograph from the album sent to Ewen by Essex police. I sent the photograph to Jeremy under a privilege rule 37A, standing order 5B 32 (3), but I found out days later that the prison authorities had intercepted it and were refusing to hand it over to Jeremy, the prison told him that the contents of the correspondence would be placed on his prison file. This caused Jeremy and myself to have a fall out because at that stage he was in the process of appointing GDS to represent him, and getting rid of Ewen Smith. The prison told Jeremy that he could not receive privileged letters and contents from me, because he was currently using the same privilege to correspond with GDS. In fact, I think the prison either threatened to stop Jeremy and GDS communicating under the privilege rule because of the contents I sent to jeremy under the same. I wrote a separate letter to the governor at HMP Full Sutton, explaining that I had previously been entitled to communicate with Jeremy under the aforementioned privilege rule when I was acting as his McKensie man, and that no-one had contacted me to say that I could not still use that privileged facility?
Jeremy was fuming about what I had done because he said it was fucking up his new solicitor (GDS) communicating with him privately. He told me to stop writing to him under the privilege rule, and I think a week or so later, the prison authorities reinstated the privilege to allow Jeremy and GDS to communicate in private...
It was around this time that Jeremy disposed of Ewen Smiths services, and I was invited to transfer all the material in Ewen Smiths possession at Birmingham, down to GDS' offices in London, but I declined the offer. However, I did take up an invite to visit GDS' offices along with another person close to Jeremy (who I shall choose not to mention) for the purpose of looking through all the photograph albums and to take copies of any which showed Sheila on the bed. Present on this occasion was GDS' son Michael, we were allowed to take copies of a number of photographs but there were none of Sheila on the bed, which made me think that Ewen had sent these back to Essex police before forwarding the rest of the files onto GDS...
Anyway...
As far as I am concerned, the photograph I sent to Jeremy which shows Sheila on the bed is on Jeremys prison file...
Here are some photographs of the hard drive which contains a scanned copy of the picture I have been speaking about. I am taking steps to place it somewhere in safe hands (this very day), out of harms way, until I can get hold of a cable, to allow me to download the relevant file from it...
