Hi Patti. It doesn't say and neither does it say of the others either. But one wonders why Dr. Craig the police doctor registered all the deaths at 8am? When in fact Ralph's body as depicted in the photo of him in the chair was in rigor. Sheila's body was clearly not in rigor (Mertol will tell us more about this for he is a mortician) as the police were able to move her arm for photos. So there must have been some length of time between his and shiela's deaths? If Ralph was killed shortly after his alleged phone call to JB then you have at least 4 hours between his death and the police raid on the property (rigor takes place about 2 hours after death). Whilst Sheila not being in rigor and with still food in her stomach (medical practitioners give a time of around half an hour for the stomach to be empty. Not fully digested) means that death could not have taken place much before police broke in (around 2 hours). Well logic tells me that if that is the case she must have been shot when the police were outside talking to her on a megaphone (some add with no response). JB was with the police from the time they arrived, around 3.50am or so, can't remember the exact time.
Hi G, I'd like to ask Mertol a couple of questions. I agree with everything you say....You would have thought , that the food contents of Shelia would have been important at the original trial. Maybe it did have a mention?
I have just read Ann Eaton's statement made 1919......I can't believe the lengths she went to to make sure Jeremy was guilty...to the point of keeping card in her pocket and writing things down.
Her first ever thoughts, when she heard the sad news, was why wasn't Jeremy murdered, why has he survived?
Why did the family not tell June's mother till after the 28th August that her daughter and family had been killed?
And said nothing about Jeremy to her what so ever.....Yet how did the will get changed? If this was the case?
Who Is Mathew Hampton? Why did this man work on the farm for free after the murders? Why did he claim not to know Jeremy? The family claim he did know Jeremy and then went onto believe he was the Mathew that Julie mentions in her statement.....Yet they allowed him to work on all farms....
Question, questions questions.....I do hope one day Jeremy gets a re-trial.....I really do.
