Jan 18th 2011.
it was during this same meeting, between Ewen and myself at his office in Birmingham, in 2003, that Ewen showed me an album of photographs which had not previously been disclosed to Jeremy or his legal team, which had been loaned to him by Essex police on the understanding that the contents remained confidential. To be specific, Ewen did not actually show me any of the pictures, he simply had them brought into the conference room where we were having our discussion, and he said that he was going out for five minutes, leaving me with the impression that he wanted me to look at the photographs in his absence. This was when I saw the pantograph of Sheila on the bed...
I now think it was Ewen's way of showing me, that what Dr Craig had told him, was true, and that Sheila had been on the bed when he viewed her body at the scene, and not on the floor by the side of the bed...
When I spoke to Jeremy, on the phone that evening, I told him what Ewen had told me, and the fact that I had seen a picture of Sheila on the bed...
Weeks later, Jeremy disposed of the services of Ewen, and employed "Giovanni De Stafanno" (GDS), as his legal representative...

In 2004, Ewen Smith had an opportunity to visit Dr Craig, and at that time Ewen Smith found out that Sheila's body was on the bed at 8:44am, and that she only had one wound to her neck at that stage, and that Craig had confirmed her death at a time when she only had one wound, not two. I was told this by Ewen himself after he had visited Dr Craig and found this out. The reason why Ewen discussed this matter with me, was because I had seen the photograph of Sheila on the bed at Ewen's offices in Birmingham, and although he told me that the photograph album in which the said photograph existed had been loaned to him by Essex police on the proviso that he did not copy or reproduce any of the images contained within them, or to divulge its contents to any third party, the fact of the matter is that I was given an opportunity to view these whilst Ewen absented himself from his office. I made several visits to Ewens office between late 2003 and early 2004, and I was shown or given access to the photographs on at least two or three occasions during this period. I particularly remember at least three occasions when I saw these pictures, once when as I have said when Ewen absented himself from his office to allow me to look at the photographs, secondly when Ewen arranged for one of his partners (female who left to start up a new solicitors practice shortly afterwards)to show me them, and lastly when Ewen and myself had the conversation about Dr Craig and the relevance of the information which Ewen had managed to find out as a result of his visit to see, Dr Craig...
--------------------------------------
The above are two different postings from Mike, telling the story of how he came to see the picture on the bed with only one bullet wound.
Did Ewen show you the photo because he'd seen Dr Craig previously or did he tell you about Dr Craig because you'd already seen the photo?
Was it in 2003 or 2004?
How many times did you see it? Because your first post gives the distinct impression it was only once, where as the second says 3 times?
The last paragraph doesn't make sense and seems to refer to the same viewing visit twice?
Why were you allowed to see it again as after your first visit and you informing Bamber of what you'd seen, Bamber sacked Ewen. You surely were not popular in Ewen Smith's office after that?
